 Poster: A snowHead
|
Coastal southern Australia has been blanketed in snow in what weather forecasters described today as a " major event ". Snow fell to sea levels for the first time since 1986 in Melbourne and Hobart the capital of Tasmania. Central Victoria was reported to have eight inches.

After the UK being hit by a tornado, I am inclined to believe anything is possible with the weather.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

mark_s, apparently Britain has one of the highest rates of tornadoes per sq.mile per year in the world. It is just that the vast majority are small and short-lived, unlike the monsters one hears about in the USA. They are a lot more common than people realise, particularly along the south coast where waterspouts are not entirely unheard of.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

the ice perv, yes, but combine a tornado that makes it onto the news with earthquakes in the past few years (we don't even live near a plate boundary!), and I'm starting to get a bit...scared

There's a nice photo of the rare low snow in Australia in this report from CBC News.

mark_s, some parts of the UK have a long recorded history of seismic activity. I'm reliably informed by the wife ( a meteorologist) that tornadoes happen on a regular basis in this country, too, just as the ice perv has pointed out. So don't be scared.
