I think a lot of the deaths here are often people having heart attacks cleaning snow, or car accidents and that sort of thing. I know my dad says if he goes...it'll be the snow cleaning the gets him. I just assumed he was guilting me into doing it until I started reading up on it and then saw him huffing and puffing. So it basically worked and I now do it.

Hopefully it breaks for you guys soon. I think we might be through the worst of it for now. The frigid cold anyway.
Yeah there are some places which i dno't really understand being inhabited by humans unless they are migrating people only there in favourable seasons and places that cold go into that category for me. Did people ever live there in winter as hunter gatherers tribal type people?

I think only small fires at the moment but i really pitty the fireys! A bush fire in the weather would be evil to fight and i don't know how the fireys cope with the heat at all!

They take the weather temps in the shade so while i think around 47 o C has been the top here in Adelaide any thermometers on buildings etc will often read higher than that!
