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!!!

Why? Are the issues related in some way?

Typical, they get snow during the height of their summer, plus they
steal the Ashes back as well.

Not one flake over here, during our winter

What the blazes is going on !!
