Re: Victoria: Low Pressure Trough 9th - 10th Dec

Nothing in the way of rain here yet but I can see it going up all around us. Awesome sight no matter which direction I look.

Re: Vic: Trough/Front - showers/rain/storms - 28 Nov- 1 Dec

Maybe we could do with a little less of the rain after the 90mm on Saturday. Ground is saturated and groundwater still rising through our pavers over two days later. Hopefully we get a smaller dose of rain this week.

Re: Victoria: Upper Low drifting into Vic from NSW 25-27 Nov

Looks like we could nearly be clear on the radar... Nearly 80mm since 9am. I don't think I've seen this much rain in such a short period as long as I've lived here. Hoping that means we might be done... Don't think we can handle much more Does anyone know what the record rainfall is for us in a 24hr...

Re: Victoria: Upper Low drifting into Vic from NSW 25-27 Nov

Bucketing down here still. 50mm since 9am. 18mm in the last hour or so. Cricket grounds are under water already and I don't think the Barwon River will stay down for long. We could be in a little trouble if it keeps up for much longer
