Snow and ice is the least of our worries in Australia seeing over the last 12 months we have gone thru a cripiling drought,raging bush fires and now flooding rains.
Nothing that we haven't experienced previously and it's not all due to "climate change" as many of the fires were lit by arsonists of various ages.
Sadly there were a number of deaths including 3 Anerican volunteers that crashed in their fire tanker plane that was dumping fire retardant.
