Not only do we get extremes, we get very quick fluctuations. There's a song called "Four Seasons In One Day", and it's often quoted in relation to Melbourne's weather.

As to what to do in such conditions... simple: if it's sunny when you leave the house, make sure you've got an umbrella.Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293741467822618216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-732238292447009652007-12-02T16:43:00.000-06:002007-12-02T16:43:00.000-06:00What is this coldness you speak of?I know not of i...What is this coldness you speak of?<BR/><BR/>I know not of it!<BR/>Doest thoust jest that white flakes come from the sky and lay upon the earth.<BR/>Tis a strange land indeed that you liveth in if this be true.<BR/><BR/>Can thou not cast thy magic and vanquish it to the 4 corners of the flat world?<BR/><BR/>Thee is truly a master of stories ......<BR/>HE He He white flakes from the sky, coldness, OH thou art such a jester of sorts............
