Climate, Weather and Emergencies

I was in Aldi yesterday and the amount of snow gear was quite significant. I recall the sale started a few weeks ago. Going to the snow is one of most unaffordable things you can do.

At least Perth and the SWLD is getting some cold fronts at the moment, albeit with some associated destructive weather (two tornadoes in Bunbury for example). These WA peaking cold fronts together with the warm humid easterlies off the Tasman spell disaster for the NSW/VIC ski resorts

Both things could be a sign that ski resorts in NSW and Victoria will struggle to make money this winter. Not enough natural snow and the high cost of food and accommodation could detract visitors, and it costs a lot of money to make artificial snow from machines.
