Why would you like those cold days ?
Up here we get those cold days 150-200 days a year, so they are never rare.
Let me guess, you don't get even 100 full days in Melbourne that even you consider cold.

You have fried chicken in Australia?

Since I've lived in Southern California my entire life, I have very little experience with truly cold weather. Besides, it's one thing to go from your house to your car vs. working in it all day.

Then again, if you add a frigid wind to that 20 degrees, I might rethink my stance! I went to Beaufort, SC to see a friend's daughter graduate from boot camp for The Marines a few years ago in January, and thought I was going to freeze to death. The wind cut through four layers of clothing like they were nothing. I've never been so cold in my life. It was 10 degrees with the wind chill, and no sun whatsoever.

Sandy, you are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful climate! So many areas of the country think it's warming up when it hits 10 above with windchill. Really, it's true. This morning it was 21 with a windchill of 12 and it didn't feel too awful. We've had a COLD winter with several nights of windchills well below zero. The coldest we hit was -37 with windchill. Personally, I don't even like the 10 you were talking about.

The heat is less tolerable. Its 89F right know and slightly humid at 2:11 pm in MARCH, I want to wash my car, but its just to hot. I like it when its from 50F to 70F, anything warmer than that just is uncomfortable to be outside working or exercising.

We basically have around 1 day per year below 10ºC, but the entire period between May and September inclusive is uniformly below 20ºC, although the early and later stages of winter see numerous 20C days. June and to a lesser extent july tend to be the coldest months of the year, averaging around 14-15C and virtually no days above 20ºC. August is far more pleasant, usually around 16C with a small handfull of 20C days occuring towards the end of the month.

Right now 65 and a bit of wind and I would be out in shorts and a t-shirt. No joke, I haven't seen 65 sense October 22nd. Last year the first day 65 or higher was April 22nd, so I have a ways to go yet.

"rug up": is that like "cuddle up?"

Interesting, but what do you consider a cold day?
A high of 19 C?
A high of15 C?
You mention august is far more pleasant, but do you consider this winter month crappy still or is it more of a mix of good, decent and bad weather?

So I take it you have "Kentucky Fried Chicken," but do any other places make fried chicken? We also have "Popeyes", "Mary Browns" and several grocery stores make fried chicken too here. I do not really care for Burger King, but their breakfasts are nice. Starbucks is okay. My favorite big chains are "Harveys", "Popeyes", "Mary Browns", "Pizza Hut", "Mandarin", "Swiss Chalet", "Montana's" and "The Keg." Do you have any of those in Australia?

Reminds me of boating on Lake Ontario.
The lake's surface temp is between 55-65 F in early summer, 68-74 F by late summer. Even when it's 90 F outside, I insist on putting on track-pants (sweat pants) and a sweatshirt over top of my regular summer clothes. My friend always asks if I'm hot wearing all that near the dock, with the breezes by the shore about 85 F, but I never sweat on land and once I get 100 feet out I'm so happy I've got on my layers.

To me, it is not fit to go boating wearing just shorts and a t-shirt when the water temp is less than 75 F, even if the air is 95 F on land and 85 F maybe 4 feet above the lake; their's simply way to much cooling effect from being on a big lake, even on a hot day.

In summer both, but in winter 15C is average, tolerable as long as there isn't a 1000km/h wind accompanying it but 19 is comfortable and is considered a "good day" in winter.

Relative to June and July but AUgust still has crap weather but also far better days than June and July.

So I take it you have "Kentucky Fried Chicken," but do any other places make fried chicken? We also have "Popeyes", "Mary Browns" and several grocery stores make fried chicken too here.

Life wouldn't be worth living without KFC You can also get fried chicken from various grocery stores and fast food outlets.
