The indefatigable Tim Blair links to 8 recent news articles documenting Australia's cold winter:

• The strongest cold outbreak in five years came through NSW and Victoria over the weekend.

• On the Gold Coast in the state’s south-east, the mercury dropped to just one degree Celsius at Coolangatta airport at 4am AEST, in the coldest August morning there in 25 years.

• Landholders and motorists on the Central New South Wales ranges have had to handle the coldest winter outbreak for 15 years.

• Falls Creek has now exceeded its 20 year average snowfall and the forecast is for more snow for the remainder of this week.

• Southern New South Wales is having its coldest weather since 2005, with parts of the highlands blanketed in snow.

• Australia experienced record demand for electricity late yesterday as cold weather swept across the most-populous southeastern states.

• It has been the coldest start to August in 13 years, bringing heavy snowfalls in the ski fields and record low temperatures elsewhere.
