the weather

Let's take a look at the weather around the world, for the first week of January, shall we?

Two tornadoes hit southern Brazil. This is a rare event.

Clusters of icebergs have been spotted off the coast of New Zealand for the first time since 1948.

The United Arab Emirates got snow for the first time ever.

You've all seen what's going on in California. Rain, snow, mudslides, all that.

So what's going on? Is this a vengeful god? Is this a god showing signs that he's ready to bring the faithful home? Is this a bunch of humans who've fucked up their planet? On purpose?

Okay, so they're way out there, but still, first time since 1948.

first time since then as far as they can tell -there's a 'gap in the records' apparently. they were recorded further north than the current ones in around 1890 and around 1930.

Every 40 or 50 years, then?

This story (http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff 0,2106,3148900a10,00.html) had the most details of the ones I saw - sounds like every 10-20 years from the 1890s to the 1940s, then none *recorded* until now.

Oops, that link's expired - This (http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3149898a7693,00.html) is the same story.

(And while looking for that I found this one (http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3151291a7693,00.html) which has some different details.)
