While we're having the coldest weather of the winter so far here in Maryland, I note that my siblings out in Arizona are enjoying some balmy weather. It's 72 F in Avondale, where my sister Maureen lives. In Tucson, my brother Patrick is basking in 81 F comfort. So it's a grand day in Arizona, where some of the Beara immigrants once went to dig copper from the ground. True, the summers are fierce, but the winters are much milder than those in Butte, Montana. Anyone want to check in with a weather report from Australia or New Zealand? -- Bill

But it does get cold there too. Last week my friends in Tucson sent me photos of there frozen fountain and were worrying about their hummingbird visitors on a 19F night. The day they were worrying about that NYC was having temps in the 50s.! That was tipsy-turfy. Today is more like January should be.

We just had the hottest day on record in Sydney - 46.4 C. NOT NICE!! Four days before that I was in the mountains (about 400km from Sydney) where it was 44 degrees one day, then we had 100 k/h wind gusts and sleet and a mximum of 9 degrees the next day. My wardrobe is very confused. Cheers Robyn - in a much milder Sydney, at 29 degrees.
