I'd like to make a polite request that people stop complaining about their cold winter weather.

Consider my day!

It was quite hot today, but nothing extreme. However while I was at work (I work at a local grocery store called IGA) a nice young lady informed us that there was a big fire in the reserve behind us. Blue Gum Lake.

The reserve was like some aussie bush around a lake, and its pretty big but the lake one one half has completel dried up. The bush all caught fire and there was 50ft flames blowing across the road behind us, then i realised something!

I dont park in my work carpark, because its a series of small shops with 1 hr parking. I park in the rec centre, across the road which is embedded in bluegum lake.

Oh noes I thought.

O noes.

I took my break and ran out to see what was happening. Luckily, the smoke was blowing parallel to work & the fire, so I could see where I was going. The fires was right up to the carpark, so I ran to my (hot) car and parked it elsewhere.

When we checked out the fire later, the fire had burnt up to where I'd parked the car!

So stop complaining about your cold Its much better than uber fires, which needed 2 helicopters and like 8 trucks!

Ugggghhh.

I can't <i>breathe</i>.

This is my city, 15 minutes ago. No, that's not fog, or haze, or mist, or anything like that. It's smoke, from a couple of hundred kilometres (at least) away. And I'm about 40-45 minutes away from where that photo was taken.

Stupid freaking bushfires. At last count, there were 4000 firefighters fighting.. and that was what I heard a few days ago :/

I'm sitting inside, and not only can I smell smoke, but I can't breathe because of it, and my asthma is reacting to it. And of course we can't have the air con on as it will just drag it inside.

You can see photos of the Victorian bushfires here and here.

Please also note that these bushfires are at two opposite ends of Australia, 3000km away. What's scary is that bushfire season (in Victoria at least) is normally February. So there's a couple more months of this, and it's bad enough already...

In Feb?! You didnt tell me that! you said it would all be over by Feb!!!

Just because there's fires in some places doesn't mean it's not freezing cold here. There's so many weather problems in this world. When I get older, I'm finding another planet to live on. Maybe there'll already be civilizations...

...Wow. Who was it whose school burned down a while back? Wasn't it Requiem? (I think, anyway...)

Wow, that would've been bad. Good thing you decided to park it somewhere else.

Well, the weather is kinda bad here too. We haven't gotten much rain in the past... year, so Lake Travis is 20+ feet below full, and this is a 40-year low. Islands are popping up in the middle of the water where before there were none before.

What she said, except that it's not freezing here (it's actually nice frorDecember). Colorado has had a god-awful amount of snow in the last couple of weeks, definitely enough to gripe about.

Thanks to Laq.

Okay, our weather has been much warmer than normal here in NY. We haven't even had any significant snowfall yet (with the exception of the blizzard Buffalo got). I'm actually begging for some cold weather and snow...I'm sick of all this rain.

Bring on the freezing temps, I need 'em!

We have cold winter weather? That's news to me.

Ugh. I was skiing today and it was raining the whole time. Except for a few times when it was snowing and raining at the same time for a minute or two. So much for that huge snowstorm we were supposed to get today.

It is not supposed to be this warm at the end of december >_<

I love rain. It's my favorite weather. By so very far. New England's not great for rain...it's like there's a switch, and one side is boiling hot and sunny (maybe about ten days in the year), and the other side is freezing cold, possibly with snow, but usually not.

*makes a mental note about the Northwest*
