Snow falls in WA in April for first time in 49 years as Good Friday cold blast turns Bluff Knoll white By Herlyn Kaur Updated April 20, 201 Western Australia's south-west received an unexpected surprise on Good Friday, with snowfall on Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Ranges. A flurry was recorded on the peak, the highest point in the Stirling Ranges, about 100 kilometres north of Albany, after 2:00pm on Friday. It is the earliest recorded snow event in a calendar year in the state's history. The last recorded fall before this time was April 20, 1970, according to Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) records. Dozens of hikers made the trek up the 1099-metre tall Bluff Knoll on Friday, which generally records light snow a couple of times each winter but rarely in April.

Q.
What kind of first name is Herlyn ?    [smile]      ....'ambidextrous' ?




I blame Global Warming.



;)

It snows there all the time.

Maybe not in April, but I've been up there many times in the snow in other months.

Remember, kiddies: weather isn't influenced by a calendar hanging on your wall   ;)

Individual weather events generally are not necessarily an indicator of global warming.

However one of the expected symptoms of global warming is an increase in unexpected weather conditions.

So this event could possibly be an indication of global warming but not necessarily.

Maybe this happening is an event with a 50 year probability ?

Indeed.

Or 100 years, or 10,000 years.

Moreover, it's only unexpected when you look at a calendar.

Take away that man-made aspect, and it's not unexpected at all.

It must be caused by global cooling.

Possible but no more likely than any of the other possibilities, we are going into a short cooling period.

It's hard to know for sure.
Scientists get around it by saying that most
of the extra heat is absorbed by the ocean.
This means that ocean temperatures are more important than land temperatures.
To me that sounds like an excuse for the global cooling we're seeing
especially the record low temperatures on land.

No.

It always snows there.

Crisis over.

No it was caused by a strong cold front
In other words it is just weather

Yes cooling is just weather; unless it is the Polar Vortex. ;)

so far this year across the planet- 45 highest ever recorded temperatures. 2 lowest ever temps. Last year 420 highest ever temps, 40 lowest ever temps. How retarded do you have to be to think global cooling?

Have you got a link to that?
