[20:43] <chilts> morning
[21:07] <thumper> morning
[21:07] <thumper> high of 8 in Dunners
[21:08] <thumper> expecting snow
[21:09] <ajmitch> yay
[21:09] <ajmitch> so a list dusting on the hills, and wet everywhere else
[21:10]  * ajmitch needs coffee
[21:10] <ajmitch> s/list/light/
[21:36] <Atamira> why is it colder in auckland than dunedin?
[21:36] <Atamira> stupid weather
[21:37] <ajmitch> because dunedin is just better?
[21:58] <Atamira> just find it odd is all. dunedin is closer to the sth pole. its expecting snow
[21:58] <Atamira> we dont get snow in akld...
[22:04] <ajmitch> we don't usually get much snow in dunedin :)
[22:07] <Atamira> we dont get any
[22:07] <Atamira> wonder how colds its been in akld before
[22:08] <mwhudson> all time record for wellington is -1.9 according to wikipedia
[22:11] <Atamira> it was 4.5 degrees this morning
[22:11] <Atamira> whats the record for auckland?
[22:11] <ajmitch> currently 3.3 in dunedin
[22:12] <Atamira> wow..-.6
[22:13] <ajmitch> not really that cold...
[22:13] <Atamira> considering other places
[22:13] <Atamira> no its not
[22:13] <Atamira> took me 4 years to become cold in nsw, australia
[22:13] <Atamira> im used to run away in summer clothing
[22:14] <Atamira> run around *
[22:14] <ajmitch> some places in NSW certainly get cold :)
[22:14] <Atamira> true. and it did in NSW ..eventually when i was there
[22:14] <ajmitch> record low for canberra, -10
[22:14] <Atamira> yeah, its really cold there
[22:14] <ajmitch> it was -7 once when I visited
[22:15] <Atamira> which is again, odd
[22:15] <Atamira> but then they have that mountain near them
[22:16] <mwhudson> long way from the sea, too
[22:16] <mwhudson> i was wondering the other day what fraction of nz's population lives more than say 20kms from the sea
[22:16] <mwhudson> can't be very high
[22:17] <snail> mwhudson: all of hamilton
[22:17] <kcj> Morning.
[22:18] <snail> mwhudson: the interesting question is what fraction of nz's population lives more than say 20kms from navigable water
[22:18] <snail> mwhudson: hamilton is at the extreme inland end of navigable water on the waikato
[22:19] <mwhudson> snail: well yes hamilton but no other major centre, also taupo rotorua palmy
[22:21] <snail> mwhudson: of those all but palmy are on lakes big enough for water transport to be useful
[22:23] <Atamira> actually, doesnt hamilton have the waikato river near it?
[22:24] <mwhudson> snail: which is my theory as to why palmy is so terrible :-)
[22:24] <mwhudson> but i was still thinking about the sea
[22:24] <mwhudson> (and on 3g and i suspect lagging badly)
[22:25] <Atamira> well im off to sleep. have a good day all
[23:09] <ojwb> morning
