Just wow! arriving at Mansfield to find just shy of 140mm in the Nylex. This is an event total. Lake Eildon will surely exceed 100% tomorrow. Outflows are around 20k ml per day with inflows peaking around 120k ml per day around now.Unbelievable stuff
Jeepers that’s a good falls. Awesome to see the whole east pick up with this one. Shuts or largely shuts down the fire season for a month or two, which is a big relief.
Unfortunately a dud for most of TAS. Just 5mm back home. Might get a mm or two yet, but nothing meaningful. The northeast corner did well, but elsewhere just dribbles. Couple of cold days ahead, then back to the dominating westerly systems.
Decent snow fall on the alps but not really sticking, I guess because of the warm ground and rain leading into the system. Still, nice to see snow in spring.
Been a really strange El Niño and positive IOD year. Two huge events, the first in the subtropics and tropics in mid winter and now this one. In between dry and record warm. Funny how a bit of luck can make a big difference. Reminds me a bit of the very strong 1997 El Niño event.
