whats going on. ...?

my tomatoes think its still summer,
my plants are drying out
the snow season opens in a week or two and there is no snow on the mountains
nobody is apparently buying winter clothes from the stores
its still good to be barbequing


does this mean we are missing a winter altogether and that summer is going to be a scorcher. Me no like

I don't mind missing winter but I don't want a scorcher of a summer. I think days of 24 to 26 degrees all year would be just fine. Oh and it could rain overnight and be sunny through the day

I'm really ready for some cold weather. I love cozy jumpers and warm jammies. Just bought some really lovely new bone coloured jeans and it's too damn hot to wear them.

I'm with you @battleon77, I just bought two new singlets having thrown out the old tatty ones and I haven't been able to wear them. Also, I put the flannelette sheets on and have boiled in bed. Give me some cold weather!

I am really enjoying this lovely mild autumn weather we are having here in Melbs, but in order to have the gorgeous Spring, we need to have a few months of cold winter. I am also looking forward to pruning my roses in a couple of weeks.

Here's to a lovely cozy fire, warm jumpers, coats and scarves and a glass of red!

cheers Maggie

ouch! Now that's scorching!

We had no snow either last winter just endless rain! In the past we have had at least two episodes of being snowed in! Nature is very confused but fruit looks like being abundant this year. Apple, pear and cherry trees in my garden are laden! All a bit weird!

Its the tail end of spring here, only 3 weeks till summer and although a few days have got close to 20C its rarely managed more than 16C. I dream of dry, hot weather, being able to pack for going away in the UK at the height of summer without having to pack jeans, jumpers and raincoats.

Winter is coming. We have had our first cold snap here in NZ and nearly had a frost this am. Its snowing in the south island 2 weeks ago I was in a summer frock!

We went from +24C midday yesterday to +7C this morning. Baby it's cold outside....
