For those of us in the South (Oz, NZ etc) - who may be heading into a winter like you Northern folk have just had.
Australia: Massive Rains in the North (like 100 years ago!)
www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/03/06/2838587.htm (Worst on record)
Melbourne Storm:

Huge unprecedented hail/rain storm hits Melbourne (Hail hitting our carbonate plastic decking roof sounded like gunfire (Hail about 1cm or more in diameter) - my melon & pumpkin leaves shredded. My Autumn salads & brassicas had been just planted out, but some will have survived as the hail wasn't 100 cover - maybe 25% damage.
The point is that this is WET, lots of WET - while the AGW propaganda has been Climate change/AGW = DRY.
So we are all waiting for the AGW Mob to start saying the WET is due to climate change.
Australia historically is known for its Big Wets & Big Dries - Years of floods & years of drought alternating.
