Tennant weather, from the local rag.



Cold snap for Tennant



IT might be nice weather for Pommies but Tennant Creek locals were left freezing this week after the temperature plummeted by more than 20 degrees in two days.

On Monday, it was a sunny 30 degrees but by Wednesday evening the mercury had fallen to a chilly eight degrees. The temperature gauge only reached 9.9 degrees, the coldest maximum for July ever recorded.

Bureau of Meteorology Forecaster Ben Price said the cold front was driven by a strong high pressure system in southern Australia and the Great Australian Bight. “Strong south-easterly winds were directed upwards into the Northern Territory,” he said.

Sympathy extended Mark but I never envy the extreme dry heat to come in the summer mate.

What a shame Mark, here in Newcastle the local guys take their shirts off when the temp reaches the dizzy heights of 8 deg C
As Ed says " put a jumper on "

Singlet,shirt, jumper, jacket,oilskin vest and yellow raincoat.
Its raining, icy cold easterly wind blowing straight through me, I saw water coming out of the ground, reported it to the boss in his very warm orfice
" He said grab a spade and find out where it coming from"
So I go back there with a spade and the air was turning blue I get back there and I see a couple bits of 1/2" thick PVC pipe.
I think beauty this is a plumbers job, The boss got the plumber in and poor bugger me had to supervise them for four flocken hours.

Then some prick walks past in shorts and thongs and pink toe nail polish.

That would be the burst pipe fairy making the rounds Mark.
