Currently at Mount Macedon car says 1c up top rainband incoming I reckon we are in for a surprise

Well... We wore the brunt of that rainband for sure! 28mm at home lighting was insane and I could swear it was in my backyard next front could drop another 15mm here

Are they showers popping up or radar interference

Showers...
Light rain here.

Down to 7C waves of heavy rain and pea sized hail here. Next band about to hit from the south

Whilst I agree with you drought breaker I must make mention that it did settle on the higher parts of Gisborne with a dusting to a cm at around 8pm Friday night, which is still quite impressive for any timeframe.

Went up to Gisborne for the market this morning, still white frost about the place at 10:00am when we arrived. Should of drove a little further and checked out Mt Macedon while we were up that way.[/quote] Down to -2.8 here, still plenty of snow above 850m on Macedon I suspect the top will still ...

BOOM snowing in Gisborne changing to rain at about 420m dumping above 550m 2.2C here!! Loving it

Just went to the top of Macedon 6-7cm drifts trees all frozen and snowing all the way down to Mt Macedon pub on the way home, now in gisborne and the odd flake is mixing in with the rain at 2.9C

5.2 and raining here, nothing out of the ordinary yet

Hey guys really enthusiastic about this one, just wondering if there's any chance of snow at my elevation for this system and what would be the best time for a snow chase!

Just went for a walk 3.2C icy rain, heavy at times with a few odd looking raindrops. Just a tad to warm! Game on 550m plus Macedonian 10 minutes and you'll be in heavy snow

"4.6c here now. Dropped 2C with that shower, but didn't spot any sleet. Now getting into interesting territory. A good shower will typically drop temps by a degree or so" 3.6 and dropping @ Gisborne we are 100m lower than you Hillybilly so cold air + speckled moisture not far away. just 3 in ...

10c here. Winds starting to really pick up past 50kpm with the baro dropping. at the sat pic. Might head up to Macedon for a look tomorrow at some stage

Down to 0.2 last night and currently sitting on 6.3. Might be heading for a couple of maximums below 10 later in the week going off the Kilmore forecast but who knows would love ACCESS charts scenario to come off but the progression looks wrong IMO

I can't see much for this weekend but

It looks unreal! 5400 line touching QLD at the 5200 line up inline with Tasmania, Macedon ranges could be in for the first real crack of the year if that holds. We will have to wait and see

Rain gauge says 50mm for us and it keeps coming, too bad it is a couple of weeks too early as my new tank isnt ready yet. that's a crazy discrepancy between what Gisborne had and Trentham we only managed 22mm for the entire event. What happened to the rain today it was 20-45mm when I went to bed ...

Hahaha classic radar hole!!, I think bom is being a little conservative with totals I would have thought 10-25 instead of 6-20 but it remains to be seen. Horsham is going to cop a lot more than that in the coming days

Chucking it down now 2.7mm 5 at the Airport and none in the city yet

17C here and light- moderate rain looks to have set in 0.4mm so far and radar looks good with moisture filling in the radar hole near the border.

We are copping the Cknbectove showers here up to 2mm now and sitting on 20c moderate rain ATM
