So how about that wind... it sounds like the f***ing apocalypse outside. It comes in waves and you can hear s*** getting thrashed about in the distance and it gets louder until suddenly all the trees outside my window look like they are about to bend in half.

I dont think ive experianced such hard wind without a storm of some kind.

news.com.au wheather reckons:

Wind: WSW 28km/h
Gusts: 52km/h

Im afraid to go outside. (its 5AM as well so that might have something to do with it :P)

edit: Wheather station data from around the region - http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDQ65113.shtml

It's also f***ing cold.

Wind chill factor++

Woke up with some kick arse wind outside my window, only reason why i woke up 15mins early.

It ain't that cold..this weather is great to get you goin.

We have this little sunroom just off the side of the apartment here with a tin roof and glass windows designed to let in as much heat as possible and it sounds like the wind is trying to rip the tin clean off it at times, rattling the crap out of it.

And yes it's farking cold as at this time of morning, why are we awake again?

Damn it's cold, hehe.

Power went off sometime in the last 5 hours in my area. I come out to check my torrents and the machine is off ffs. Lousy wind!!

wind? wind?!! this is nothing more then a chilly winter breeze! this has nothing on TC larry, or steve, or rona or joy :P... but i agree FSCUK itS FSCUKING COLLLLLLLDDDDDDDD.

So I'm guessing planes around the country should be secured to their treadmills to prevent them from taking off unexpectedly?

i just know when i leave to walk to work i'm gonna get blown pretty hard

and not in the good way amirite

You're a bogan

lies

this is nice weather

I have 90km/hr wind coming out of my ass from last night's curry.

like f*** it is

Days like this make me glad I don't live in an old Queenslander :)

no really, it is

I tried to go out for a run this morning. I usually do a 2.5km circuit, got about 500m and the chill just sucked the energy out of me. f*** this wind.

feels like the coldest day yet.

news.com.au says it might be the coldest day since 1916 *that brisbane has had* and that winds are getting up to 60km/h the highest being 75km/h at morton bay.

If a plane was on a treadmill, and the wind was blowing 90km/h what would happen ?

luvin' this weather :D bring orn the winteryness /,,/

The crappy joke would get older and less funny... oh wait

yay!
have been beginning to think I'm the only one who loves a bit of cool weather for a change

f*** the heat, this is way better
