It won't take long. I'm sure that, as our new lords and masters have decided that global warming isn't anything to worry about, and that any science that contradicts their point of view is bunk, it won't take long before they realise the error of previous (their) ways and stop the release of the rabbit-killing calici virus.
When that happens, rabbits will flourish again and we'll be able to get plenty of skins for our iconic hat. Oh, and rabbit meat will become cheap again, which will be a good thing, because it'll be the only meat our pensioners, students and the unemployed will be able to afford.

There's some great pics of wintery beaches, coastlines, family groups that you'd swear were taken mid-Spring or late summer, early Autumn. Apparently this coming week will be cold and wet but it sure doesn't seem it right now.
Is it cold enough for you, down south in Melbourne?? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-07-12/brisbane-records-coldest-morning-103-years/5591890
That Glen Innes temperature works out to 12 degrees F, for our MOL friends; and Thredbo, which was warmer, is one of the ski resorts but Glen Innes isn't.
