Folks in NZ also had a great day, but I bet they had to dress a lot warmer!

It's their summer, so they likely aren't the warm dressers!

Today is forecast to be MUCH WARMER than yesterday.

When I was growing up in Hawaii, the record low was 60F. My mom started the
fireplace (very unusual to have one in Hawaii, at least back in the '50s) when
temps got to 70F.

Hee hee. When I run the wood stove here in Vermont (i.e., on the colder winter days/nights) it rarely brings the indoor temperature UP to 70 degrees F (21 centigrade).
