What a mess. There are vortices inside vortices. The southern hemisphere is getting some wicked weather.

The Antarctica turbulence is NOT classic. The Southern Hemisphere needs to reassess the patterns that will effect their weather. 

THIS IS NOT CLASSIC!!!!!

It may seem classic, but, the etiology of the severity of the weather needs to be reassessed. 

THIS IS NOT CLASSIC !

...The Bureau of Meteorology (click here) predicts today will have the worst of the weather, with temperatures close to zero expected across Victoria and strong winds and thunderstorms hitting coastal areas.
The cold air mass is a "classic Antarctic blast" that originated near the coast of Antarctica during the week, the Bureau said.
The State Emergency Service received more than 1000 calls following winds up to 100km/h that uprooted trees and caused widespread damage to property and roads.
SES duty officer Andrew Murton told the ABC the gusty conditions had played havoc across the state....

There is a real chance of increasing cold with each vortex that passes through Australia. The temperature may fall and rise slightly after the vortex passes through, but, the next will bring the cold with it and the rising temperature will stop to become cold again. As the temperatures rise, if it doesn't return to a reasonable temperature, there is a danger in that.




One of the problems people have to face is the fact they will experience weather very differently. One of the dangers in winter lies when vacillating temperatures increase the cold incrementally. People may get used to cold and not be prepared for severe cold or exposure.

The image above is from 21 hours ago when the severe weather came in on Australia. There is another one to the west that will approach as well. The vortexes currently are at a maximum and carry vortex within a vortex. Sort of like tornadoes do.

Cold is unforgiving and no one should under estimate it.
