Indeed, I chatted with him every day for several years LOL, everything from CPUs to his family ...

Yes, we had a typical winter weather system for a few days last week. Normally they don't come far enough north to hit Perth in summer. We got about 8mm rain and 23 degrees C temps. Three days later it was 38 degrees C and severe fire danger!
I'd love to experience the polar vortex in USA. Temps are about the same as what I experienced in Finland a few years ago. It was -32 degrees C there.

May I ask what happened? |
He just disappeared. I used to visit him at his workplace in Perth every now and then, but the last time I went there, there is a new tenant in the building. He is missed.

Last week we had -38,7 degrees C here in Finland and that is quite normal in January. 
All time record in Finland is -51,5 degrees C from year 1999.

haha, In England, people complain if we have a inch of snow and temps of 0°C. In parts of the country, people were stranded last night by a few inches of snow on a major trunk road. Most Brits are clueless and never prepared
