Title: Weather!
Post by: Multiveg on February 04, 2005, 17:49:37
Did I hear correctly on the radio that parts of Australia had "mid summer snow" ?

I heard that also this morning!

Aparently parts of spain have had very unseasonal cold snaps.

Outlaws just returned from Lanzarotten and they said when it was cold they needed jumpers and gloves!!

Multi, have just been reading some Aussie web sites, and I think that the snow mentioned might have been in Thredbo, which is a ski resort in the winter. Not usually in the middle of summer (now) though!

There have been massive storms throughout southeast Aus, I think they're calling it a cool-climate cyclone! Tasmania where my mum and dad live (and i visited not too long ago) had it too, massive flooding, high winds, roofs being blown off houses, trees being uprooted and blown over.  :-\

I don't know about Australia, but isn't our weather changing a lot. At the grand old age of 26 I still remember weather being HOT in the Summer and COLD in the Winter - quite a scary thought how dramatic the changes are don't you think??
