This month the first lying snow was 20th I think. It built up to its maximum of 10" by 23rd, since then a few of those have melted a bit, mostly today.
There's still 6" lying snow outside and huge snowdrifts on many local roads and this is totally annoying.. just want it all to GET LOST. When I look outside all I can see is the garden covered in inches of snow and this huge snowdrift halfway up the garden shed.
Here we go again. The sun is up and that bloody weather station is over reading again. Apparently it is 4c! The max is 3c today and it is really about -2c!!
So I actually had a dream that I had gone to live in Australia last night, and it was disappointing to wake up and be here with 8 inches of snow outside and still snowing, in nearly April.

I think even you would've enjoyed Melbourne this month and in February. To date, Melbourne's average high is only 0.1C shy of Brisbane's, and our February was actually 0.7C warmer.
Got to 35.6°C in the city today, but most suburban stations recorded 36-37C after an overnight low of 22C.
This makes it the 8th low over 20C and 11th day over 30C this month.
Ofcourse, if you live in Australia, all you have to do is get in the car and you have access to everything from cold snowy hills to tropical rainforests to some of the world's hottest, most humid tropical/desert/tropical desert/arid desert and sunniest climates and ofcourse some of the best thunderstorms anywhere in the world.

I don't doubt it at all looking at the statistics. I heard Australia had its hottest, or one of its hottest summers didn't it? Still any summer month in Melbourne is far above and beyond what Buxton could ever manage. Still on the struggle to get away from here if only to a "better" climate in England.

Australia did have a hot summer, however, that only applies to Victoria, inland QLD, inland NSW and South Australia and ofcourse naturally Perfff. Coastal NSW and QLD had fairly mild conditions. Infact, coastal NSW is having their hottest conditions of summer over the last week. Sydney Airport just recorded their 3rd day over 30C this month (as opposed to Melbourne's 11th day over 30C, and 6th day over 35C THIS MONTH ALONE). Sydney Airport exceeded 35C only FOUR times over the whole period from Aug 2012 to now... Melbourne has exceeded 35°C NINETEEN (19) times over the same period...
Even Melbourne missed out on the January heat, not so in inland Vic though, with Mildura recording 4 days above 44C. Mildura averaged over 30C from Nov to March inclusive, with 105 days over 30C since August 2012, 12 of those over 40C and 5 of them over 44C.
