G'morning David,

 DW> That depends on how broadly one defines "your part of the
globe". Down
 DW> in the States, there was a storm a couple of weeks ago that did a lot
 DW> of damage, spawning tornadoes, etc.. Here, we just got the edge of it,
 DW> which caused some snow to fall, but nothing terrible.

That's good - I had a fuzzy memory of wind and rain damage, but it 
must have been that caused to your neighbour...

 DW> We have had some
 DW> remarkably cold weather this March. A few nights ago, the temperature
 DW> went down to about -25C. But that's okay, once in a while. It kills off
 DW> all the nasty bugs and reptiles that would otherwise come slithering
 DW> in. Now, spring seems to be arriving. The temperature went above
 DW> freezing point today, for the first time in a while. They're predicting
 DW> we may see 10C next week.

Well, the reverse is true down here - highs around the country up 
to 35 or 40C (almost Australian temperatures) and drought all 
about.

Miles.
