Major roads have been closed and highway traffic is banked up as Australia's eastern states experience the best snowfall in a decade. ....

Snow! Some of it is falling in regions classified as sub-tropical. This is a very sharp winter in NSW, Australia. The snow falls in many areas are charming and amazing, for most Australians never see snow, but it is causing problems with transport and power links.

July! None the less.

[Crazieman]

Well... thats a duh.

The global warming is so severe, during the southern hemisphere winter, that we are all about to freeze to death.

July! None the less.

This is Australia we're talking about.It's winter there.Snow in southern parts of the country in July is kinda like Virginia getting snow in January.

“Well... thats a duh.”

Always fun to make a senseless post once in a while.

You’ll notice they say the ‘best’ snow instead of the ‘worst’. It’s Australia!

Optimistic view on life. You'd have to living in a place where the fauna and foliage can kill you at any moment.

Yeah, but this is Queensland, which is about the latitude of Florida and Cuba.

Best quote: "I missed the 1984 snow. I've never ever, ever seen anything like this in my life. It's just like a winter wonderland," he told the ABC.

Here’s hoping all the folks got to the liquor store. Dust off the barbie...

Sunspot minimum. Better keep an eye on it...

*******************************
The latitude for Florida is ABOVE the equator, while that of OZ is BELOW the equator.

Snow in Queensland. Wow. South America has also been getting nailed this winter.

[GreenLanternCorps]

It’s a comparable location is what I meant.

Yes, if low solar activity becomes a strong trend, we will be seeing more snow in Australia.

However, year after year, we hear the same song - this is the hottest year on record. Here is another article saying the same thing. There must be something wrong with how they take the temperatures.

It’s Australia. That means that when the snow melts, it will run down the drain backwards.

[BobL]

Oh, I can’t say I’m surprised by the media bias. I see it everywhere in the States.
