Flurries hit southeast Australia as towns record their first-ever summer snowfalls
CANBERRA, Australia – Australia is following its second-hottest year on record with extraordinary snow flurries in its southeastern alpine region, where some towns have recorded their first-ever summer snowfalls.
Australia’s temperatures during the summer months of December through February can be uncomfortably hot even on its highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko, which stands a modest 7,310 feet (2,228 metres) above sea level.
Snow fell to 3,000 feet (900 metres) above sea level Monday in parts of New South Wales and Victoria states, Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Jane Golding said.
“Any time of year, it’s unusual to have snow down that far,” she said.
…
The town of Bombala in New South Wales, east of Kosciuszko, recorded its first summer snow since the bureau began keeping records there in 1965, Golding said.
The town of Cooma, also in New South Wales but north of Kosciuszko, recorded its first summer snow since records were first kept in 1973.
Cooma resident Krystal Pernitsch said the wind chill factor made Monday’s high temperature of 59 degrees (15 degrees Celsius) feel like 48 degrees (9 Celsius).

Wow! That is bizarre!
I thought that the Arctic’s “frigid parade” is just moving down from the north pole to the equator. It seems it has already surpassed the equator and jumped to the southern hemisphere?
Has the BBC found the Answer ?
Weather with a Kiwi accent will sound so much brighter than it really is .
Met Office under a cloud as BBC considers breaking 90-year partnership
well I knew it was cold in Vic today…but what? well there goes the melon seedlings:-)
Anyone? know where records of Australias Glaciated areas were in times past, just curious, I know Victor harbour was one spot..or was it Willunga? or both:-)
there seem to be no maps? whereas the Nth hem is available on iceage now nothing shows the Sth.
Beneath the tip of the Climategate iceberg is this emerging shadow of an unholy alliance of Politicians, Scientists, and Publishers – directed by a still invisible world government.
The PSP plan that WUWT and other internet blogs have frustrated:
a.) Al Gore was to become the first President, King or Savior.
b.) NAS => NAP [National Academy of Sciences became the NA Propaganda].
c.) EPA => NAP tool [“CO2 is a dangerous pollutant”].
d.) National sovereignty/boarders/governments were to disappear.
e.) Democracies would vanish.
That’s how it looks from here,

Like the iguanas in Florida, do they have koala falling down trees when it’s cold?
RE the BBC-they should contact Joe Bastardi or Piers Corbyn….
This snow’s going play havoc with the warmists favorite toy-
Fire Season!!! Always used in both hemispheres for fun and
amusement by the warmists.-I speak from personal experience…
I believe that we have to keep on this “Weather is not climate” train. IF the data keep going up, and up, and up, AND it keeps feeling colder, and colder, and colder we will have to constantly continue to mention this to people. Or, I fear that the masses may actually think that colder is warmer, believing the mantra.
I actually think this could already be happening.

What does this have to do with the weather in Australia?
Pachauri has been caught taking funds and having nothing for records on how they are spent. He is close to Meltdown.
The IPCC is taking entrails readings as peer/pal reviewed science.
We are facing a tsunami and it isn’t pretty.
Australia is learning rtapidly. Keep it up. climate Depot is busier than ever with stories now finally arriving. CO2 is the opiate of the ecoterrorists. They get a little sniff and get very aggitated.
Ahh Haa!! Ice Ages DO come from both directions at the same time. Ain’t the weather a beach? I mean climate. Ain’t climate a beach?
Australia is following its second-hottest year on record,
Is that the second hottest record at the airport.
Here’s a link with a great graphic

If it’s accurate, it tells us that while warming seems to have an upper limit, cooling does not have a lower limit. Also, and this is the disturbing part, there appears to be a trend for every new cold portion of the cycle to be colder than the previous one, as well as their occurrence increasing in frequency.
Hi everyone,
Oliver K. Manuel has mentioned the likelihood of a world government – or should we better say: “dictatorship”? Many people still can not believe it could go that far. Therefore I would like to add this link here, may be some of you do not know about this yet:

Were there any global scale trends that caused this?

“Wow! That is bizarre!”
Almost as bizarre as naming an Australian mountain after a Polish general.
I blame Mel Gibson
This is nothing special. A day or two of snow falls on Vic & NSW mountains happens once in every 4 or 5 summers.
Lets not overreact and become Coldeners !
Keep Calling it “Global Warming”.
Warmists will be humiliated every time “Global Warming” is mentioned.
That’s what they claim the co2 does. Forget “Climate Change”.
Their term “Global Warming” will remind them it is folly every time it is used.
Maybe it will sink in someday……
Isn’t weather interesting (or is it bizarre?). We get weather here too, just like those in the northern hemisphere.
Hot last week (40C (104F) last Tuesday), a cool south-westerly brought a chilly 20C (68F) yesterday, but back to an expected 38C this Thursday and 40C this Friday. I looked out the window yesterday afternoon and couldn’t see snow on the mountain (Victoria’s highest and Australia’s second highest), but it happens, even in summer – probably didn’t stay on the ground which, after all, would be quite warm.
Must be a slow news day.
I am so confused right now. Warming, summer, snow, barbeques, cold snap, glacial melt, BOOM ! I’ve reached a tipping point.
Cue the naked man at the piano. And now for something completely different.
So Australia have record hot …and snow. So, they were right all the time. The weather has become extreme. We didn’t listen!
Also CO2 causes a new ice age, due to scientists:

“Forget warming, greenhouse gases may trigger ice age”
Aaaaaah!
This article should be titled “Glaciers in (New South) Wales?”
A bit OT but the question is still snow:
One of the issues of warming has been that glaciers will disappear and because they now provide storage for summer irrigation, that too would be gone. However, if glaciers grow more from melting less would that not reduce summer flow in the drainage? However, a growing valley glacier will soon extend farther down-valley to a lower elevation where melting will be faster. However, if the growth of glaciers is brought on by colder temperatures and this is region-wide then the nearby lower valley crops might have shorter growing seasons and fewer degree days.
I bring this up because in the State of Washington east of the Cascades the snow and glacial ice is the source of much late-season irrigation water. In this current water-year we are already hearing about the low snow amounts. This seems to fit the El Nino pattern very well so it is not a surprise, nor are the currently warm temps a surprise. The pattern seems well known.
I haven’t seen much of this potential of growing glaciers to cause a problem of the same type as disappearing glaciers. Just wondering.
Anthony,
Why is this not the headline on your Site this AM? To me it his just about as big as Climatgate itself…..TIA John.
From thread on The Himalayan fiasco Below
nofreewind (18:15:27) :
Down goes the Himalayan Glacier “pillar”. This is OT and a few years old, but shouldn’t be missed, proves They did the same shenanigans with hurricane as has now been exposed with Himalayan Glaciers.
Chris Landsea former NOAA and now National Hurricane Center hurricane expert and contributing IPCC author, resigning from IPCC.

Note: The first comments is from William Connolley.
Most interesting is the resignation follow-up email correspondence between Landsea and IPCC notables(aka The Liars Club), including Trenberth and Pauchari. Even includes all the email addy’s for those of you who are looking for pen pals.
Landsea is a Man of Great Character in my book, although I know there are many who resigned rather than go with the gravy train of consensus.
