the SW/SE parts ofWestern Australia are headed for another icky drought if we don't get rain soon. We've not had a substantial amount (ie that would help the dams) for almost 3 months. In march, the daytime temp in Perth/surrounds didn't dip below 30C.

I don't know about you but can you see the consequences? We don't have any water restrictions atm and the new desalination plant isn't open yet.

NB-I hope working in Canada didn't leave you with a bad taste in your mouth .

Shefly-I remember the Ice Storm in eastern canada in the 90's.

Ah yes, living in Alberta where one can get snow at anytime of the year . We learnt very quickly in guides that you never ever dust the snow off your tent
