Sub Zero?

Hi Guys,
Just a very quick photo post to answer the questions I have been getting about the temperature here in SG.  It has been commented that a lot of my photos show glorious sunshine, and some are surprised that there is not more snow and ice.  Well, South Georgia is in the middle of Summer at present and has been since I have been here.  The weather is good a lot of the time, and temperatures can be sustained around 15 deg c when its sunny. It isnt, however, what you might call "temperate" and it can snow on any day of the year here.  Below are some photos of some not so sunny weather...... Brass Balls and Monkeys spring to mind....
