The earthquake map here shows the results from the last 7 days, but a lot of activity took place over the weekend. The one yellow dot in southern PA, was in York County. This is the second on this month. While it was officially reported as a magnitude 2 on the Richter Scale, it does remind us that although not as vibrant as the San Andreas Fault, there is still seismic activity in the east.
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands also had it's second shock of the month.Australia enters it's spring season and this beautiful full arch rainbow is one of the few promising things the Ausies have seen.
Last Wednesday (10/22), Sydney had it's coldest day in 30 years with a high of 58F.
The Blue hills of New South Whales had snow for only the 5th time in 50 years of record keeping.
North in Brisbane and Coffs, severe storms brought lightning and large hail. The image here with the flip flops is my favorite.
Thanks to Charlie Wilson for this information and images from the Sydney Morning Herald.
More on our chance of midweek flurries and another hit early next week, on an evening post. So please, check back then.
