This month has been declared the warmest July on record in Tasmania, with temperatures 2 C above average and it’s certainly been a far cry from July 1986 when, on the 26th, snow fell to sea level in Southern Tasmania. People woke up that morning to a white blanket over everything, and with transport disrupted.
One enterprising bloke skiied to work, over the snow-laden Tasman Bridge!
It’s an event which has never been repeated since, and probably never will be.
Over in Nova Scotia, Canada, people take much heavier winter snowfalls in their stride. Coming from Halifax, Nova Scotia, in this morning’s edition of Music Unlimited with Ian MacPhee at 6.00, are the Three Degrees, Dean Martin, Berlin, Al Hirt, and in the regular Country Patch, Leroy Van Dyke and Patsy Cline.
In Edition 740 of Valley Sunrise which follows at 7.00, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Paul Anka, Peter Sarstedt, many indie artists and more, including listener requests after 8.00. The number to call is 6261-2000.
As always, for people out of reception range, the on-line link to TYGA-FM is:
