I like to get in mine at 101 and get out a little while after it warms to 104.
In the summer the spa is on 30c (86F). In the winter i bump it up a couple.
We get snow in Australia, but not here on the coast (i'm an arrow flight from the beach). Frost up in the hills a little west, but none here. I don't own a heater or an air conditioner.

This headland is about 6 blocks from my place. Town of about 3000 people.

What's the job market in Woolgooga? Climate sounds like paradise when my thermometer said -37°C this morning.
Unless you are a girl who likes girls then no chance.
Only work round here is blueberry picking for backpackers.
The locals work 'woopi time'. That means a couple hours in the morning and knock off at opening time for the pub.

If there's not a kid's cubby house with a door and windows behind that waterfall you missed a great opportunity.
Quoted from hlaj78:I think that the waterfall needs a grotto behind it.
We considered all sorts of different designs including a grotto, kids play area, sand beach, a hidden swim up bar, etc. But ultimately due to the size of the structure and my desire to have a kick ass commercial slide that is over 60 feet long with 4 different directional changes and with a 1 to 4 drop ratio, we made it solid.
It maybe be tough to tell from the angle, but the slide starts facing the other direction and goes back a ways. The height of the structure is about 16 feet high (it would not pass our Home Owners Association rules now, but I was one of the first to build in our neighborhood so I didn't vote against myself.)
And I would say mission accomplished because if you go down the slide naked, you are airborne the last 4 feet of the slide before you hit the water. Don't ask me how I know.

That was ingenious to not vote against yourself! LOL! Sweet setup!
Quoted from Nevus:Light snow in Louisiana.
We have no infrastructure to deal with ice on bridges, so everything shuts down with snow.

Remind me to wear VERY dark glasses if I come to visit. There are some things you just can’t unsee mate.
