The mid-Winter festival further down country was almost cancelled because they didn't have any snow and so far there's been THREE tornadoes down country too; - and we just don't plain get tornadoes here in NZ (or only so rarely that we can say we don't get them).
Very heavy rain and flooding is on the increase too. We had the kind of rain last night where you could just about drown while standing up it was coming down so hard.
World weather patterns are definitely changing and I think it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. The funny thing is I can remember predictions about this happening years back when I was still an earthmother hippie with 10 acres and two kiddies and all the politicians and captains of industry just laughed at the whole thing. Not quite so keen on laughing now methinks
