nah, in "winter" it's all good (once you acclimatise), you stop using it at night some time in April, and start again in December some time. And you don't need it at all during the day for that time. 25 and no humidity is bliss. Almost too cold to use the pool...

@Rancid-Schnitzel 12. In the office? 12
At home probably 5, for nights anyway.
Only 5? Thought it would be more. Still, 5 is going to hammer the finances. It's a disgrace that power should be so expensive in this state.
Act: Heating in Canberra must hit the wallet. You need it about 8-9 months a year there don't you
Gas ducting heating is your best friend if you live in Canberra.
ACT has the cheapest electricity in the nation. Plenty of AC's running from Nov-March...

fuck the morning TV shows. They've all flown their presenters IN to Bowen to commentate the fucking thing! Fuck off you dipshits!! and it's constant coverage too, so they show the same footage, and the cockhead presenters are forced to show the same things over and over, make hyperbolic sermons on the power of mother nature, and ask poor locals they come across a series of inane questions.
Fuck off you fluffybunnies! go home and forget about North Queensland like you do for the other 360 days of the year.
I am already cringing at the coverage when they get their cameras out later to interview locals who are out inspecting their totaled 100 year old Queenslanders.
-
This fluffybunny. Kochie the monumental fuckwit, is expressing surprise that North Queensland emergency services are organised and know what to do when a cyclone comes.
-
Ch9 has their poor reporter standing out in the weather talking for 5m while across the road a house is being pulled apart.
It's like they watched an Emmerich movie and thought "yea, that's the stuff"
-
Is Kochie trying to hype this cyclone up so he looks braver?
"It may not be cat 5, but it's no less ferocious than Yasi" Jesus H...

@mariner4life said in TC Debbie:
Looks like you'll get pretty wet given where she'll cross. Probably storm surge tides as well.
People are fucking idiots. Within an hour of the first announcement on Friday every Coles in Cairns had sold out of bread and bottled water. Despite the fact the cyclone was not crossing until Tuesday, and a long way south.
-
What do big cyclones do for the weather up north?
Well, it's 5.30 and the temp is 35 (feels like 44). Fuck it's hot!
-
Jeez the commercial channels are shit.
There's a bit of rain heading our way from ExTC Debs.
Weather guy on Ch 7 looking suitably bedraggled poo-poohs the SEQ forecast for 150-200mm and breathkessly declares "that's incredibly conservative it'll be more like 450-500". Nobody from the BOM, ABC , Premier Palchook or even Livio Regano (you live in regional QLD you know who Liv is) is making ANY sort of doomsday prediction.
Move on to a Ch Nine promo. "BRISBANE! is expecting A MONTH OF RAIN! IN A SINGLE DAY! Join us tomorrow to see which suburb gets it worst! ! !"
FAAAAARK!
-
Well it's been pissing down here all night and the schools are closed. Seems a bit drastic to me, but it will apparently get worse during the day.
-
Notwithstanding that Ch7 and Ch9 remain the fluffiest of bunnies SEQ is now officially in panic mode.
All State schools and many private schools from Agnes Water to NSW, (thanks for the late notice) are closed pending a deluge of biblical proportions.
If you haven't built your ark it's too late.
Apparently they want less traffic on the roads mid arvo when it's expected to be at it's worst.
There is a fair lump of rain moving down from Gladstone and big rain already hitting Brissy and the GC. We've not been too bad as yet.

Well Bob Brown blamed the coal industry for the 2011 floods. I wonder what they'll blame this on.
-
This cyclone didn't come from Australia. Therefore Pauline Hanson and One Nation are the ones you want in charge if you want less cyclones.
These foreign cyclones are not compatible with the Australian way of life
-
It's unaustrayan @mariner4life
-
So now the solid rain comes to Brisbane.
This is Kedron Brook, four hours apart. It's already flooded in the first photo:
-
You blokes down south just aren't cut out for rain aye. I looked at the radar expecting to see huge swathes of orange and red, and instead it's all blue and green?
