Whats happened to the usual W fronts? We seem to be getting troughs that go and form East Coast lows..That's not normal for this time of year is it? We should be getting SW fronts ( that bring the snow down sth)..
Notice the pleasant days and cold nights we've been having? They are courtesy of big high pressure systems sitting over Australia. These same highs block any front getting up here.
In regards to the lows that bring rain and wind, I'm not sure if the are unusual or not. I'd say it's fairly normal for a low and associated trough to sneak in every now and then.
In the end blame the big high pressure systems over Australia for a lack of winter winds.
