I was sure my 63kph record would be broken overnight but it wasn't....maybe next time. Windchill dipped down to 2C in some of those gusts though.

Atleast we have a mild ( sub tropical) climate Michael, snow is great but you pay for it with having to live in the cold.

And to live in the cold,you need a warm house
