marlena, you seem to know your weather quite well, but we do understand you.
@Ron, we are sympathising with you Auzzies, how awful. omg, the weather changes lately seem to focus in some areas on this planet. Yours is one. Good luck. sorry to hear of the issues and loss of life. Thank god, I think we are safe on terra firma. rather cold, ice and snow, and even thunder and floods, but what changes are occurring in our oceans and even our weather.
Stay safe everyone.
