Uncanny, eh? I wonder if the heat was causing some of the problems...
Any idea if there are any clouds nearby for seeding to work on? Heaven knows you guys need the rain.
When I've take classes at the farther campus from me, I've needed to take the SkyTrain to and from, and we have two classes of cars as well. (you know, ones with and without air conditioning. Remind me never to take summer courses on the farther campus... >.<)
The older cars are from Expo 86 and while they've held up quite well for being this old, they're less well liked around here. (they're also more likely to be the ones at fault when a train malfunctions, forcing all other trains to wait at stations thrice as long...)

Now I'm glad I didn't move to Adelaide when I wanted to in 2006-7. Melbourne is also having difficulty; their whole railway network has shut down at least once during this heatwave

Good question, I haven't checked the dam levels recently. Here: (http://www.sca.nsw.gov.au/dams-and-water/weekly-storage-and-supply-reports/2009/water-storage-and-supply-report---29-january-2009). We've enjoyed some good rainfall up until near the end of November. Now the clouds are appearing but drifting away without any precipitation. The dams are at roughly 50%. We can manage for a while, but there is still a desire by the State Government to build a desalinisation plant. Adelaide is screaming for one. They're probably bringing water into that city via road & rail. I'd been thinking of how a good rainfall might bring temperatures down, but I suppose the extra humidity wouldn't help too much either...
Done! Ask your expert (me) on what NOT to do in summer :P Basically anything! I'm regretting that I agreed to have my shoulder operation in February.We're kind of fortunate

", Oh the humidity comes from the Harbour. There's not a great deal of difference when the rain comes. A decent downpour WOULD cool things, especially the brickwork of my apartment building.
carlfoxmarten said:"However, with the cold weather we're having right now, I'm wondering just how hot next summer will be...", Probably not so severe. I've noticed that the weather tends not to be able to swing completely from one extreme to the other. We've had stinking hot summers lately, and especially mild winters.

Hey! You have a new border box style! :D I've forgotten what the code was for the other one, so I just made something up, and I like blue right now... (maybe I'll use green sometime, it's very flexible)

The other two thirds of the question is whether cloud seeding is permitted in your area and if so, is anybody equipped to do so.

I'm kind of hoping that this cold weather will help keep the mountain pine beetle population down, though I haven't heard anything about them recently.
That sounds especially interesting. It looks like a more serious version of our monorail!
Pity wikipedia doesn't show what the track looks like.You can see some track in these

LiveJournal changed their format a few months ago and the old code isn't as attractive now (you can see what I mean; I'm still relying on it). Can you E-mail me the new code? Pwease!
carlfoxmarten said:"The other two thirds of the question is whether cloud seeding is permitted in your area and if so, is anybody equipped to do so.", No idea sorry. I think something like that would need to be done by either the State Government or Sydney City Council, and BOTH are in dire financial constraingts thanks to former Premier Bob Carr.

I can't believe that I forgot to send you this...
Basically, the only thing I've changed is the colours. In the code you have, there are two values you can change (#555 and #eee, border and background, respectively).
So far I have three colour sets:
Gray: #555 and #eee (which you already have)
Blue: #789 and #cde (which you seem to like a fair bit)
Green #5d5 and #cfc (which I've only used recently)
To use one of these three, just copy your current quotebox a two more times in the same text file you've been using (this way you can grab whichever one you want to use) and replace the values #555 and #eee with the values above.
