Reblogged this on Climatism.
In recent weeks, I have been in both Victoria and New South Wales and its been the Coldest for more than a decade for the areas I visited. The last two Winters were colder than usual but this July has a much worse chill to it; there’s icy winds now with many towns in Snow up to the Qld border.
I’m in Newy on the NSW coast. While its highly unlike we will get snow, it certainly doesn’t like a global warming induced next week or so !

Yes Andy, being beside the Ocean helps prevent weather extremes ; the next earthquake is more of a worry for your location… I remember the last one.
While it’s only mid-July, so far this July is much cooler than last year, according to my own weather station.

(BTW Andy, I live not far from you … Belmont).
I’m up near the Uni.
After careful reanalysis we have determined this is the warmest snow ever to fall in Australia.
Increased CO2 in the atmosphere raises the freezing point.
Queensland is called the Sunshine state and Snow is generally a very rare event ; its border latitude is similar to that of Florida in USA… however:
…
The big chill in southern Queensland has delivered what could be the state’s most significant snowfall in 30 years.

That dog in the last picture probably wouldn’t know what snow was 🙂
Until now.
That’s my home town! I’m all homesick in Houston now….Back in 84 it was my very first week on the job at a local engineering company just south of town, The boss knocked us off at lunch time and we drank Bundy rum by his fireplace for the afternoon..
wizzum,, can you buy Bundaberg rum in Texas, that may make you less homesick?
“Man-made global warming where did you go?
You promised us warm winters, instead we got snow.
I gave all my winter coats away to Oxfam,
Now I read in the papers it was all just a scam!….”

Good one 🙂
nice tonic after having to listen to NPR blather breathlessly about the warmest year … EVER … OMG … EVER!!!
The snow looks quite beautiful, actually. 🙂
Yesterday was sunny and COLD here in NY.
My themometer read high of 75 and low of 60 yesterday in the Washington, DC suburbs. Low humidity and very fresh air. Very unusual weather for DC during mid-July. But that and widespread snow in Australia all entirely consistent with a planet doomed by catastrophic, Mann-made warming.
Another “Thing” of the past strikes out in Toronto.
