Snow has been falling in the Blue Mountains amidst bitterly cold winds,
and it's only April.
The snow has even been heavy on the western side of the Blue Mountains
where it settled on the ground. Further south there has been about 15 to
30 centimetres worth on the Alps.
Cold winds responsible for this snow are also generating a significant
chill.
Just after one o'clock this afternoon the temperature at Mount Boyce
near Katoomba was just 2 degrees and the wind chill was minus four
degrees. At about the same time it was only 4 degrees at Goulburn with a
wind chill of minus 1. Goulburn's average maximum in April is 19.
This cold outbreak is a result of the strongest front since last winter.
Fronts of this strength normally don't arrive until at least May, so
some are experiencing their coldest April day.
Wellington only reached 13 degrees, breaking a 90-year April record.

"...and I think future generations are not going to blame us for
anything except for being silly, for letting a few tenths of a degree
panic us"
Dr. Richard Lindzen, Professor of Meteorology MIT and Member of the
National Academy of Sciences
"What most commentators-and many scientists-seem to miss is that the
only thing we can say with certainly about climate is that it changes"
Dr. Richard Lindzen
[most of the current alarm over climate change is based on] "inherently
untrustworthy climate models, similar to those that cannot accurately
forecast the weather a week from now." Dr. Richard Lindzen
