Our weather forecast for the next few days is for high temperatures of minus 20 degrees. For my friends in Tasmania and South Africa who think our winters are so beautiful - that's only if you are inside a warm house and looking out!

Our outside thermometer. Minus 20 degrees.

This is the view from my sun room. I am standing inside and the windows are covered with frost.

Another view from inside. Even the birds don't come to the feeder because it is so cold.
