More unusual weather events! Probably only a coincidence.
Heavy snows in United Kingdom, enough to shut down Heathrow airport for several days. They've had three years in a row of unusually cold, snowy winters there. "Normally" they have little or no snow in London; but they are considering investing in snow removal equipment in defense against what they call a "step change" in weather.
Huge rainfalls in Los Angeles, washing away hillsides and homes. Well in excess of 10 inches of rain in 2 or 3 days.
Deep freeze on the east coast of the US, down to Florida, endangering the citrus crop. Christmas storm in New York and New England that dumped a lot of snow and produced hurricane force winds off the New England coast.
Winter tornadoes in Arkansas and Missouri, followed closely by snow that virtually blanketed the south, from Florida to Texas.
Massive flooding in Australia, putting the northeast state (province?) of Queensland under water. Water covered an area the size of France and Germany combined. Snakes infested the flood waters.
Massive flooding in Brasil, rivers raging, at least 500 people killed.
Wish all these coincidences would just stop! It is greatly inconveniencing us.
