Winter temps 6 weeks before Christmas?

Seems perfectly normal to me!!

Today there was a cold snap in Canberra and surrounding areas - the lowest November temperatures on record. Right now it is 8 degrees. That's celsius - somewhere around 46 degrees F. Not so bad for November you're saying to yourself, right?

But I'm in the SOUTHERN hemisphere - where Christmas is celebrated on the beach in a bathing suit, because the seasons are all backwards down here. So it's not normal to be 40 degrees in November. So the news is all about the 'unseasonable cold snap that brought snow to the mountains around Canberra'. I say it sounds just right.

My head hurts form all the blood rushing to it. (It's been hard being upside down for the last couple of months.)
