What a difference a week makes. Here we were last week having hot summer like temperatures in the 30s and this week the temperature has been back down to the low to mid 20's. The evenings have been cool enough to require wearing a jacket. Crazy weather.

One of the Cellar staff had just returned from Perisher after a snowboarding holiday. She said that the snow was so patchy that the were jumping over grass patches. I was watching other snow fields and they had closed the season down. The rain, heat and wind just wiped the snow right out.




The coming summer has me on edge too Colmait. The ABC News had an article on Wednesday titled "Warnings over Increased Bushfire Risk as Australia Records Warmest August on Record" (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-04/spring-bushfire-outlook-suggests-increased-risk-in-qld-nt-vic-sa/104304072). It feels like we are in uncharted territory with the climate at the moment.

Interesting about the Cellar staff telling you about the lack of snow. I was just reading an article this morning that stated that Australia's snow seasons are projected to get shorter as Winters become warmer.
