Just back to Climate Change all Last Week we here in the lovely Blue Mountains enjoyed what was the beginning of such lovely Spring Weather with Glorious Sunshine,hardly a cloud in sight and Temps in the very High Teens and Mid Twenties. Yesterday even we were on 22 Deg ,a lovely Sunny day>
Bam!!! Overnight the Temp dropped a staggering 21 deg with us awakening here in Blackheath to 1 Degree with Wind and Snow !! Yes Snow and quite a lot at that.
This was such a big plunge ,due to an Artic blast ,so we are back into Winter for they say 2 to 3 days then apparently again to good Sunny days ! One good thing is that most all of NSW that is now with Water Restrictions ,may get a bit of relied if we get the Rain also predicted over this Week!??
The poor buggers in the outer Regions are in dire troubles,with little or no Water now at all,and they are saying that quite a few places will Run out of Water within Weeks ,oh the poor People and Cattle,the Framers who work so hard ,why do they have to suffer so much!
It will be (And I believe already has started) the Shooting of Sheep,Cattle as there is no Water to keep them going,
Many large Companies are trying their best to get Water and Fodder to these Areas,but so much is needed and the cost is enormous !
They are using what we call Road Trains (Very long Trailers pulled by massive and powerful Trucks) filled to the capacity with Bales of Food for the Animals.
Then there are the large Water Tankers trying t keep up with getting Water to each place in need!
I recall about a Year or more ago when they had those terrible Drougts in Cape Town and surrounds,it was very hard for all,but they pulled together and came through it all,they were very lucky that it ended and the have had Rain by the Bucket loads since,so lets hope that it will happen here and soon too.
Our main Water supply Dam at Warragamba is now at only 48% which is very Low with the Population of Sydney Growing so fast and especially out West .
Let us Pray that this severe Drought ends soon!
