Melbourne to cold ???....come on everyone....where is your sense of adventure. Must every activity need to involve warmth and sunshine. Nothing better that putting on your warmest coat, beanie, gloves and meeting friends at a coffee shop for a hot chocolate.
We had -29C the other day (and that's centigrade, not fahrenheit) and it was one of the best days ever....
I want to move to Melbourne for its weather. I come from Boston; it's not as cold as some Canadian cities, or as manic in temperature as some places in the Midwest, but it can still get cold here. In Melbourne though, it doesn't get cold. According to Wikipedia, the record low is -2.8C
It'll be nice to never have to wear anything more than a sweatshirt
Naturally very warm-blooded, eh?
I always need more than a sweatshirt below 50 F (10 C), but everyone's different.

Its nice to have those temps when you can live in a winter wonderland, the way you do Minx.
A buddy of mine lived in NY and said the romance of snow quickly pales when you have to get to work on time regardless of road conditions.
I'm no fan of the cold but could (and have) happily spent my days sledding, (trying to) skiing, tubing, and best of all...apres ski! What has this to do with life in Convictland? Well...if you like skiing, thats another advantage of Melbourne...no, you cant ski in the city, silly. But there are some great snowfields within a few hours drive. We're not talking Rocky Mtns here, but for Oddstralia, it aint bad.
The sensor is outside....it's toasty warm inside....
I saw a smaller number, reading 17.8 C which I reckon's supposed to be the indoor temp.
A little cool for a kitchen (like our basement in winter)... Draugthy?

Another advantage of mountains.
Where I live, the ski resorts aren't usually open unless there's also very-cold in the city.
(Instead of certain mountain areas where it's fairly-mild where most people live; just cold and snowy at the ski-resorts )
Most residents "grow out of snow" before they turn 10 yrs old here, but our immediate area is mostly flat.
Many people here might have a hard time looking at a ski-resort and not being reminded of clearing heavy snow or ice themselves.

Yes, that is true. When it comes to day-to-day living it can be a pain in the a$$. You need to plan well in advance and allow twice as much time for travel, start the car 20 minutes ahead to get the interior warm, make sure you can get out of the drive way, snowblowing the entrance walkway, shovel the deck, and the list goes on.

Not droughty. It was first thing in the morning when I woke up. We have a very good comforter to sleep with so we turn the heat down when we go to bed otherwise we are too hot. As soon as we get up the central heating is turned up and the fire is lit.
