[19:23] morning [19:36] morning [20:03] morning [20:11] morning [20:23] morena [20:23] darn cold today...4.5 degrees in auckland [20:25] morning [20:25] restart [20:43] morning [21:07] morning [21:07] high of 8 in Dunners [21:08] expecting snow [21:09] yay [21:09] so a list dusting on the hills, and wet everywhere else [21:10] * ajmitch needs coffee [21:10] s/list/light/ [21:36] why is it colder in auckland than dunedin? [21:36] stupid weather [21:37] because dunedin is just better? [21:58] just find it odd is all. dunedin is closer to the sth pole. its expecting snow [21:58] we dont get snow in akld... [22:04] we don't usually get much snow in dunedin :) [22:07] we dont get any [22:07] wonder how colds its been in akld before [22:08] all time record for wellington is -1.9 according to wikipedia [22:11] it was 4.5 degrees this morning [22:11] whats the record for auckland? [22:11] currently 3.3 in dunedin [22:12] wow..-.6 [22:13] not really that cold... [22:13] considering other places [22:13] no its not [22:13] took me 4 years to become cold in nsw, australia [22:13] im used to run away in summer clothing [22:14] run around * [22:14] some places in NSW certainly get cold :) [22:14] true. and it did in NSW ..eventually when i was there [22:14] record low for canberra, -10 [22:14] yeah, its really cold there [22:14] it was -7 once when I visited [22:15] which is again, odd [22:15] but then they have that mountain near them [22:16] long way from the sea, too [22:16] i was wondering the other day what fraction of nz's population lives more than say 20kms from the sea [22:16] can't be very high [22:17] mwhudson: all of hamilton [22:17] Morning. [22:18] mwhudson: the interesting question is what fraction of nz's population lives more than say 20kms from navigable water [22:18] mwhudson: hamilton is at the extreme inland end of navigable water on the waikato [22:19] snail: well yes hamilton but no other major centre, also taupo rotorua palmy [22:21] mwhudson: of those all but palmy are on lakes big enough for water transport to be useful [22:23] actually, doesnt hamilton have the waikato river near it? [22:24] snail: which is my theory as to why palmy is so terrible :-) [22:24] but i was still thinking about the sea [22:24] (and on 3g and i suspect lagging badly) [22:25] well im off to sleep. have a good day all [23:09] morning
