Boring - Don't know what you folks are on about! We've had our best rain for months down on Westernport overnight. Woken up several times by heavy downpours. Lots of puddles forming and all the usual runs have water flowing. Some sun on the weekend will green things up nicely. I'd guess maybe twenty...

Well that was cool. A direct hit here in Western Port. Hail, rain, wind thunder and lightning. Awesome stuff. Never seen the chokes run so fast.

Awesome morning at eildon this morning. Still calm and blue skies at 9.50 so enjoying a fish on the like while it's still nice. Not for too much longer I suspect

Next wave of showers has just hit down here and quite solid as well. After a mild period it has turned pretty cold with rain finally falling from the SW as it's supposed to! Absolutely saturated down here now. ( typical for winter)

Warm front, cold front, doesn't matter.it's been showery since mid arvo and raining now fog the last half hour or so. Totally saturated now with paddocks all holding surface water and creeks, drains (and roads) all running.

Snowing and -2 at Mt Buller as well.

If these same NW in feed systems stick around through spring, then we will have some conditions like 2010. Lake Eildon has been one area north of the ranges that has largely missed out on recent events. Overdue for a direct hit. 75 - 100mm over the lake and catchment would be very welcome. Send it d...

Awesome wintery system and up to 11mm here now. Plenty of puddles forming in the low spots. That's a cracking low off the sw and a better sat pic you won't see. Hopefully something for everyone by weeks end.

Got under a nice narrow stream finally and have had over four hours of steady light to moderate rain with a few heavy periods as well. Luv it! Maybe some more overnight as well and then very pumped for the rest of the week. Up north looks pretty crazy on both sides of the country. I think the outcom...

I,m in Robinvale at present and the convection built quickly into storms from 1.30 till 3.30. Lots of lightning and growling thunder but still made up of individual cells despite a full cloud cover. Really nice to see and smell a few storms.

Wow. 44 is very hot - and 5c above the BOM forecast for Melbourne.

Could be a week where we have a distinct change of weather pattstuff beyond the wintery stuff. Of note this morning is rain and cloud cover in south central WA. Hopefully something for those north of the divide.

Crappy day down here today. Cold, grey and windy with regular light drizzle.

Been quite heavy showers all morning down here and they seem to be getting heavier as well. Quite a bit of hail in the last one.

Really complex and cool stuff down here. Went from balmy with bright sunshine to being engulfed by a really active spring type storm. Lots of thunder and lightning, heavy rain all over in 10 minutes. Light drizzle now but sun trying to poke trough again. Note: check out the radar for Nortern NSW. So...

Cracking winters day down here with regular showers and hail all day long. Turning out to be a ripper event for the alps as well. Just had a look at the snow cams - near white out at buller and baw baw, falls and hotham a bit clearer but I'm sure they'll get their share by the morning.

Well it may be a little warmer than first forecast but we are really copping the brunt of these showers at western port and it is very wet and very wintery even if we don't see the low level snow. Plenty of thunder about last night and again this morning with the passing showers. Another good system...

Well a wet start down on the peninsula this morning following a windy night. Very wintery.

The cold pool looks pretty impressive on the sat pic too. Basically dominates the entire image sw of vic and the rain band.

Been in the sweetspot down here for the last hour or so. Turning out to be a real ripper. Some very full rivers by tomorrow.

How 's your total looking Adon?

Well it's now been 15 hrs without stopping so an awesome event down here (and across much of the State). Just drove back down the Monash - all the creeks and drains spilling outside of their banks. A big tide too, due to the low pressure at the moment, holding things back so plenty of water everywhe...

Raining quite steadily here now. Sounds cool on the roof but no way I'm going out to investigate.
