Although here in Perth we have had a temp of 35 degs today, on the
other side of Australia it has been remarkably cold today. Melbourne
had a max of only 14 degs and up in the high ground to the north it
snowed. Pictures on the news showed a pretty good covering of snow.
Checking observations, one place at 1800m stayed below zero all day and
now at 2300 local is giving a temp of MS05. Apparently the temperatures
and snow has broken all records. Funny old thing this global warming!!!
