ZitatIt's a white Christmas Melburnians could have done without as hailstones the size of lemons have caused widespread damage across the city.The State Emergency Services (SES) had received hundreds of calls for help from householders whose homes had been battered by hailstones. SES spokesman Lachlan Quick says the hailstones have ripped through skylights, windows and roof tiles in Taylors Lakes, Sunshine and Keilor.
Eine überaus aktive LA NINA ist dafür verantwortlich & diese Strömung wird so manchen Winterfan auch in Österreich noch zum verzweifeln bringen... Update: 27.12.2011 - 00:01 - 2 Videos:

Beeindruckende Aufnahmen! Das ist schon kräftig ausgefallen! Das Ereignis erinnert mich wieder wo ich glaub im Jahr 2000 wars ein hagelgewitter enorme Schäden in marchtrenk verursachte! Damals sahen so manche autos;Strassen sowie Gebäude und Gartenmöbel auch so aus! GRRRRRR!

Die Natur ist WUNDERBAR, darum müssen wir mit ihr sorgsam umgehen!
The Australian severe storms season has started in a high tempo this year. A tempo, dominated by the weak La Nina.
Comparison of the last year La Nina (left), and current La Nina (right), in the Jul-Jan period. This is the SST anomaly line. The bold line is 0°C. There is a clear difference in strength and it is obvious that there is less dynamics this year, and a more steady pattern with ENSO. But that cannot be said for last year. If you look at the last years La Nina (left), you can see by the line, that there was more "action" and more dynamics.
Even if you look at SOI (Southern Oscillation Index), which is directly connected to ENSO, you can see it was quite in record values last year and in the beginning of this year. Currently, we are in a more lower and normal values, expected with this weaker La Nina.
So my point is: A La Nina has its variations, depending on its strength and duration. We have a developing La Nina, just like last year, but a much weaker one, with a more standard-like features. Last year we had a "King" La Nina that was a one year La Nina, but with features more common for double year La Nina's, that defied some of the classic La Nina "rules". Just remember the super tornado outbreak in April, which mostly develop only in double or strong La Nina years. And the temperature anomalies in US, were totally different than usually with La Nina. And the fact of a weaker anomaly, closer to neutral, and its current effect on the Europe (Manfred also pointed out this in his great analysis), gives me hopes for a very good storm season 2012. But I will keep that for later. :)
