Uh, they don’t have tape measures in Australia?
Oh boy...1 to 2 inches. I hope they are all alright..../sarc. Seriously ok so they haven’t had snow since 1984......now perhaps they won’t have snow until 2045. Weather people like to make big deals over nothing.
Snow two nights ago in Hawaii.
We need a carbon tax, now! /sarc
On one of the volcano peaks?
Haleakala is 10,000 feet.
Al Gore or Pope Francis...please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Once every thirty year snow fall events are news.

Big Island, Hawaii
Mauna Kea
Mauna Kea is almost 13,800 ft. elevation
Thanks. Beautiful! We were there last summer. Rivals most peaks here in Colorado.
Height: 13,700 feet. Not including below the ocean which adds another 20,000 feet for a total of 33,000 feet.
Al Gore, pick up the white courtesy phone.....
It actually depends on what you're accustomed to.For example,last winter was the worst one (snow-wise) that the Boston area has ever had.The city was tied up in knots...particularly the transportation system.But if you look at the stats you see that our horrible winter is what Buffalo gets *every* winter.
Snow is a very good thing, in moderation. If you have never built a snowman or made a snow angel, then you have not fully lived.
BTTT!
Uh..did these scientific minds forget that when it is summertime north of the equator that it is wintertime in the south?
During the course of my day at work I check on the news from a few “mainstream” websites. I don’t want to venture beyond these since I’m not sure if I’m being watched.
So, I go to Google, Yahoo and Bing news sites and will always click into the sub categories including their “science” section.
They all contain the obligatory “climate change” stories but Google seems to go out of their way to include more than the other sites. They seem much more consistent to make sure they have “climate change” stories literally every day.
Everyday, day after day they take one “study” after another and leverage it into weeks of stories that have inevitably been picked up by other “news” outlets. And Google, more than any other “news” portal will make sure you know that man is destroying the planet because the “Scientists” say so.
Everyday and all day with absolutely zero counterclaims unless it is to ridicule them.
Pounding away at their viewers with no regard for those that have the capacity to understand both the “science” and the politics that is being presented.
Paradoxically, Google seeks to hire the most intelligent, the most creative candidates among us, as long as they fit into the ideological box they have created.
And it’s not just Google, to be sure.
It’s everywhere.
Expressing any of the fundamental traits of what science has been built, skepticism for one, will get you nowhere and likely fired.
That poor ‘roo looks like he’s saying “WTF???”
I’ll make a prediction before I read further: this was caused by global warming.
