Yes....I'm in Ballarat (Vic) and a Wednesday about a fortnight ago it snowed...heavily. Then on the Friday...it was 36 degrees! It was such a rapid change in temparature.
Just last week, we had very very strong winds...I lost my garden shed and some people lost there roofs as well as 8 out of 10 trees losing a branch or two. I've been here ten years and never seen weather like it. Lake Wendouree in Ballarat is just a few puddles here and there and many dams and other lakes round the place have dried up completely.
The earth may have a natural cycle of warming up and cooling down...but to show signs of such a rapid change is scary and not natural.
