A sea turtle is found dead along frozen waters in Cape Cod Bay in Massachusetts around 6 a.m. Friday.
Back-to-back nights of single-digit overnight temperatures in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, this week have killed over 80 sea turtles, most of which were endangered Kemp's Ridley sea turtles. The turtles were found washed ashore frozen solid on beaches in Brewster, Orleans and Eastham.

On Wednesday morning, 87 turtles were found washed ashore, but most survived. The 82 sea turtles found on Thursday morning were not so lucky. Since late October, over 400 cold-stunned turtles have been reported, according to Jennette Kerr, Communications Coordinator of the Massachusetts Audubon Society's Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.

A parade watcher covers up in the cold during the 92nd annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday in New York City.
I was wondering how long it would take for media outlets to start with the "Record Cold Thanksgiving caused by Global Warming" headlines, the answer - less than 24 hours. They state CO2 is to blame, and summer will be hotter, so we look at the Southern hemisphere where record cold and snow dump in Australia, Southern Africa way cold, South America way cold and frost on crops. Yep, hotter summers which is a week away as the official date, but its going to snow in Australia at the beginning of SUMMER.

A week of crazy weather. From left: dust storm in Broken Hill, the Snowy Mountains near Khancoban, and bushfires along Lemon Tree Passage Road near Newcastle.
Every Australian state and territory has been impacted by wild weather over the past few days.

In South Australia, 40,000 properties were left without power and several homes were damaged as wind gusts of over 100 kilometres per hour hit on Wednesday night.

Victoria also saw severe thunderstorms, with the State Emergency Service reporting it had received over 750 calls for assistance by Tuesday night.

On Thursday morning, South East Queensland was hit with a band of gusty storms, storm warnings were issued for the Northern Territory, and parts of Tasmania were on flood watch and damaging wind warnings were issued.

In New South Wales, a dust storm travelled across the state from west of Broken Hill to Sydney.

Rare Atlantic walruses spotted in the White Sea, Russia for first time in several hundred years

Rare Atlantic walruses have been spotted in the White Sea again after several hundreds of years of not appearing in the area after unlimited exploitation, research fellow at the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology Alexander Agafonov told TASS on the eve of the Walrus Day.

"Atlantic walruses are still considered endangered species. Their population decreased initially because of intensive exploitation. For instance, they have not appeared in the White Sea since the 18th century. However, our records indicate that walruses returned to the White Sea, which most likely signals a positive dynamic," Agafonov said.

It is currently prohibited to hunt Atlantic walruses. When it comes to Pacific walruses whose population is currently estimated at 200,000 animals, only indigenous peoples are allowed to hunt them in limited quantities, Agafonov noted.

lightning strike house cornwall

Emergency services are trying to stop the fire spreading to the house next door
A house caught fire when it was struck twice by lightning.

The three-storey property on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula was hit just after 11:30 GMT, with the blaze spreading from the roof to the top floor of the building.

No-one was injured in the blaze, in the village of Ponsongath, near Coverack, which caused extensive damage to the top of the house.

Fire crews attended amid storms which swept across the South West.

"We did have warnings of quite severe thunderstorms in the area which last throughout the whole weekend, but it is very unusual for a strike to cause a fire," Gary Rich from Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service said.

"When the crews arrived within five or ten minutes of the call the roof was well alight."

People take pictures as mist rises from Lake Ontario during a winter cold snap in the area in Kingston, Ont. on Thursday, Nov. 22, 2018.
In many parts of Canada, the final month of fall started off feeling a lot more like winter.

At one point early Thursday morning, 11 of Canada's 13 provincial and territorial capitals were experiencing below-freezing temperatures. The exceptions were St. John's, N.L. - which just barely snuck above freezing at 0.1 C - and Victoria, where it was a balmy 8 C.

Record-breaking cold was reported in dozens of communities across Eastern Canada, including Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. Environment Canada said more than 20 communities in Ontario experienced temperatures Thursday morning colder than they had ever recorded on Nov. 22.

In Toronto, a temperature of -15.4 C was recorded at Buttonville Municipal Airport, breaking the previous daily record of -14.1 C from 2008.

AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND

It's not often we include Australia and New Zealand in a late November snow wrap, but both countries had a blast of cold weather out of the south this week, with the Southern Lakes resorts in NZ getting 50cms of snow early in the week.

The result is Cardrona is going to open the McDougall's Chondola on December 1 for sightseeing and the beginners lift for lessons and snow tubing. This is the official start date to Cardrona's summer season, but there's too much snow on the biking and hiking tracks, so snow play is the go.
