Oh I know. He himself unwittingly agrees with you.

Despite this lie 👇

Reply #3 - Sep 16^th, 2023 at 12:16pm Yes Lisa, and that distance to the mainland of Antarctica doesn't take into account the sea ice which can extend a long way in Winter. Looks like Monk had a mild Winter this year and Socks survived - well we assume she survived? No photo to prove it. An old photo of poor Socks with her tropical coat:

You did offer to re-home her in Sydney where she could run along Bondi beach every day and never feel cold again but Monk refused.

I don't know what it is like in Adelaide during the summer. But, as Bobby has pointed out previously, Tasmanian summers can get cold. It is halfway through September, and I am still having warm showers. This Wednesday, Thursday, and Frida, the high temperatures are going to be between 33 and 36 degrees Celsius for top temperatures. But it will cool off to 15 and 17-degree minimums.

I could imagine Tasmania and Adelaide would have varying summer weather. But, Melbourne has considerably varying weather where even summer days get quite cold.

There was nothing mysterious about the death of that other dog Gordy. The guilt is killing the Demented Dumbarse Drunk so much the tosspot has placed the dead dog’s face as his freaking avatar pic 😐

yes - I think it snowed one Xmas on the Dandenong ranges -
overlooking Melbourne.
We still get Antarctic winds here at 38 degrees South.
We're close to the roaring 40s whereas Monk is right inside that at 43 degrees South.
Hobart gets the circumpolar currents and winds -
a unique weather system on this planet where the winds and currents
go around and around the South pole 365 days of the year
owing to no land to stop it and the rotation of the Earth.

Did it die of food poisoning?

According to Monk, it died of a perforated bowel.

Hobart is sheltered by the Central Plateau to the west. Melbourne is not. Hobart appears to have a lot of westerly wind patterns. Melbourne seems to have a similar wind pattern to Hobart. Given the sheltered geography of Hobart (and other eastern towns of Tasmania) compared to Melbourne, it would suggest that Melbourne experiences more freezing temperatures than Hobart. And even the Bureau gives the data that Hobart is only an average of 1°C lower than Melbourne.

What does it matter to me, though? You are 15 degrees south of where I live. Our winters here still get quite cold and we might have minimum temperatures 5 degrees above what Melbourne and Hobart get.

Melbourne is protected quite a bit by the large bay.
Geelong isn't - it's right on the coast so it gets far higher winds
and extremes of temperatures.
