rain coming

[Wayne McGee]

Clear blue skies, mild (10C) temps, 8kph breeze, Nice afternoon.
0600 this morning we had a real howler happening, with most of the Province blacked out, branches, trees, and power lines down all over the place. Power crews imported from New Brunswick, Quebec and Maine hope to have all the lights on by 2330 Tue ni.
Hopefully the temps will stay on the plus side.
All-round interesting weather night

We just had 37.5mm of rain over two and a half days, the best socking rain in a long time. With the new shed added we got a nice rise in the levil of the house tank.

We had a good storm here in Temora this afternoon, just at the end of Ramp Talk which was wonderful timing.

what cow of a day
the wind came up this morning and later in the day came the dust, some of the worst dust we've had for many years coming from the west.

Max Easter Sunday and Monday we got 5 inches of rain here at my place in Gympie. Other nearby areas got up to 9 inches in a few hours with flash flooding widespread around the whole area. One of two bridges linking Gympie across the Mary River is submerged and the river peaked last night at a little over 14 metres high, not quite enough to flood the old main Street and business centre.

Hi all - so far this year we have had 27mm. It is a tad dry.

Here's Max pointing so you don't miss it in the distance. Dust storms seem to be less impressive on camera.

The dust storm settled and now we've had the best autumn rain for years, having had over 100mm so far this month, the temp had dropped being only 8 degrees yesterday.

It's true! Going to Corowa last year on the back roads (Not scouting for old trucks, Officer!), I was stalked for 5km by a mini downpour that featured the odd zap of lightning. The pic didn't look anywhere as good as the real thing:
