Australia receiving what was termed as "Rare and Unusual Snow" with pilots reporting the most snow cover they have seen in their 20 years of flying, media reports snow in areas not seeing snow in decades and only two times since the 1950s where there have been accumulations of 70cm or more in a week, all when experts told us that snow would be a thing of the past.

Lightning in Dresden, 18 August
Commuters in parts of Germany faced disruption Monday after storms lashed the country.

Thunderstorms, heavy rain and hailstones caused flooding and trees to fall, affecting rail and air travel in central, eastern and southern regions of the country.

The rail network in the state of Hesse was particularly badly hit due to the weather conditions, a Deutsche Bahn (DB) spokesman said.

In Walldorf - south west of Frankfurt - lightning struck a signal box, DB reported on Twitter. Trains between the main stations of Mannheim and Frankfurt had to be cancelled due to a line closure. DB said the closure would be in place until around 3pm on Monday.

On the routes between Darmstadt and Frankfurt and between Hanau, east of Frankfurt, and Aschaffenburg, in Bavaria, passengers faced disruption because of overhead line problems.

A pensioner has been eaten alive by a bear just hours after joking about being attacked and killed by one.

Alexander Korneyev was out picking wild mushrooms when a brown bear savagely mauled him in eastern Russia, just outside the village of Suluk, about 5,300 miles east of Moscow.

The 66-year-old had only a penknife to try and defend himself against the powerful animal, but was unable to do so and was 'eaten alive'.

When the retired railway construction worker was found, it's said that not a single spot was left untouched.

A new eruption, likely submarine, has occurred (or is still in progress) during the past days west of Vava'u Island in the Tonga archipelago. Its origin volcano is still a bit unclear, but the eruption, evidenced by fresh pumice rafts and steam plumes is most likely from a submarine volcano near or a vent of the small Fonualei volcano.

On 7 Aug, an observer sent us the following report:

"At around 10:40am on Wednesday 7 August, we noticed large clouds of smoke on the horizon at the location of Fonualei volcano. The plume continued to get larger over the next few hours. It seemed to pause and then erupt again."

Complete Version 3 data sets from 1880 are only 174 of 2082 ets to give consistent thermometer readings showing a warming planet, the rest of Earths surface to 1979 was estimated temps, so much for warmest year ever. Prince Charles said in 2009 that the Polar Ice Caps would be completely gone, charts from DMI show otherwise. Cup of tea anyone, time to calm the mind in a Twilight Zone world.

It's been a long, cold night in parts of northern B.C.

As Environment Canada promised, a heavy dump of snow has fallen on parts of the Alaska highway and a total accumulation of 20 to 30 centimetres is expected to be on the ground when all is said and done.

"The combination of an unseasonably cold arctic airmass and Pacific moisture associated with a low on the North Coast will result in continued heavy snow for higher elevations between Fort Nelson and Watson Lake," read the report from Environment Canada.
