Well......everyone has a sad story relating to the weather conditions......at some point in time.
Conditions here currently:
Muncie, Delaware County-Johnson Field (IN, USA)
Lat: 40.24   Lon: -85.4   Elev: 961
Last Update on Jun 6, 5:53 pm EDT

A Few Clouds

74 °F
(23 °C)    
Humidity:    31 %
Wind Speed:    NE 10 MPH
Barometer:    30.01" (1015.8 mb)

I'm a pretty camper today.
Absolutely adorable here.
Remember I often snow blow considerable quantities of white stuff here, in season.
Today, is heaven here.

My advice: get a good propane heater......that is.... if the heater(s) and the fuel is available in OZ.
Otherwise, add as many layers as necessary (of air tapping clothing) to achieve reasonable comfort level.
Wool works well.
There's lots of sheep Down Under, right?

 Its always a delicate balance over the winter between work load and energy costs. Cold weather makes it hard to do small projects in a large shop due to the cost of heat, especially body/paint related. Plus nothing seems to really work right when its cold. Including me.  Mark.

maybe not southern but a shot of aunty jack .hey Steve that's perfect beer brewing weather .my fingers don't work in the cold i do have a gas heater and BORROW the gas from work so the energy costs are at a minimum but getting to BORROW the gas gets a little tricky at times .its ok with the boss but not ok with the general manager so i have to pick my days
