I know, a short trip to WINZ today resulted in a fucking drenched t-shirt, and a subsequently wet WINZ chair.
Was not fucking impressed, had to run. RUN!

What's up with the weather? It's global warming, can't you tell? Oh sorry, it's Climate Change in winter that changes to "Global Warming" in summer.

I had snow here this time two years ago, so this weather is normal, donty let the December, not unusual.
Just remember weather records only go back a couple of hundred years, so they cant really say what is normal based upon that very very short time frame.
Weather , lol, they one thing they cant predict

[FJRider]

Snow was predicted down to 600 metres here in central ... looks like you fella's copped it. Bugger aye ...
