That headline reminded me of Van Morrison's atmospheric song "Snow in San Anselmo", which described snow falling in another part of California for the first time in over 30 years.
As I write, Melbourne's temperature is 39degC (102degF). Tomorrow's forecast is 41degC (106degF). The worry is the accompanying strong wind, which can push bushfires. Already there are major fires west of Melbourne.
