What's the temperature where you are???

-15C (5F) and as bright as day - the trees are casting shadows on the snow

I absolutely detest winter.

It was 11°F when I left work before 6am this morning.

Now it is 8°F while feeling like -2°F with 60% humidity and a -3°F dew point with a NW wind of 5mph.

My entire upper lip is very chapped, cracked and sore; I had to buy chapstick at work to try to help cause I can't stand how it feels.

Supposed to be sunny before moving to partly cloudy with near record low temperatures with a high near 19°F and winds that are light but variable.

Keep your face covered when out in the wind/cold.

Don’t ‘lick your lips’, I know that sounds silly but we unconsciously do this.

Use that lip chap. Make sure it has NO scent or flavour in it, you do not want to be licking your lips.

Make sure to apply it before you go to bed.

Drink lots of water, your skin needs water and a sign of dehydration can be dry cracked lips.

This is the brand I have used for eons…

Sure hope you get some relief, I know how irritating dry cracked lips can be.

Tens of thousands of cars damaged after hailstorms lash Queensland and parts of New South Wales​

15 hours ago​

Thousands of cars have been damaged across south-east Queensland and parts of New South Wales in recent weeks as a result of dangerous hailstorms.

The storms have led to about 40,000 insurance claims, for things like smashed windscreens, body damage and in some cases even complete car write offs.

Esk resident Jon Betts lost several cars after a large storm hit the town he lives in, north of Ipswich, in early November.

Parts of his house were also smashed by the "golf ball-sized" hail that fell for over three minutes in the storm that damaged several homes in the town.

Mr Betts said he was relieved his insurer was easy to deal with and he had been paid out for the damaged cars — but there was one factor he had not considered.

"We were paying [our premium] monthly and were only three months into the [yearly cycle]," he said.

"The insurance takes the extra nine months of premium out of the final figure of your payout. That equated to another $1700 off our total payout.

"[It makes] a big difference to your calculation for replacement vehicles."

Barry and Elaine Platt were driving to their Alexandra Hills home, south of Brisbane, when their car was hit by hail in a recent storm.

"We thought there wasn't a storm around, [we were] wrong," Mr Platt said.

"There was nowhere to go. Like everybody else on the road, we just sat getting hammered.

"It became carnage."

Drive safely! Surfaces will be icy.

My drive home yesterday was crazy, snow squalls, blowing snow white outs….

Just cold this morning, -13C (8F) and high cirrus clouds.

Have a lovely day/afternoon/evening everyone!
