Hello to all OZ members who are suffering in the heat wave.
If you want some relief from the hot weather, come to the US Midwest and Cool off big time in the Polar Vortex- it's -22F in Chicago today! lol
All flights at O'Hare airport are canceled and public transit is reduced to holiday schedule. Enjoy!

If the wind is blowing then -22F air temperature feels like -50F (called "wind-chill factor").

Please send some of it down to Tasmania (island state off the bottom of aus). Terrible bushfires there burning forest that is thousands of years old. Lots of towns evacuated and no end in sight to the fires.

On the 15th January Australia took top spot for the 15 hottest temperatures on the planet on that day. Top reading was 49.1 deg C (120F).

And today in Sydney it is getting to 38 degrees (100F)...blah, sick of the hot weather, especially as it has been soooo humid too.

You are invited to catch a flight here and I'll guarantee you will forget the heat!

My Tesla sits out in the middle of the day cooling its batteries...you can hear the compressor running when it is parked....I can almost hear it say to me "it is too hot"
