Coldest & Dryest start of winter ever!

Very interesting, the day after describing a 'typical' winterday, we heard on the news that on Friday morning the temperature in Perth (downtown) had broken a record. The lowest temperature EVER MEASURED (for the start of the winter anyway) of -0.7 degrees... At the same time it is also the dryest start ever. So our description of the winterday probably was not vey typical. But even so, you can understand we are still saying to each other every day: "...and this is what they call winter...". We are curious what we will experience in the next two months, which are the real winter months ;-)
