70mm for us for the week ending on Sunday. That takes us over 1200mm ytd. Still not our wettest year bit probably third highest in our twenty years here.
Snow to lowering 700m today. We have thirty people coming from a Mornington Peninsula garden club today. They won't know what's hit them.
Currently 2 5°. Windy and cloudy.

Another morning of disgusting windy filth here. :x

This constant cold rubbish is really testing the patience.

We have been getting stop/start snow flurries since 7am.
Fourth day this November to have snow falling.
Funny because I don't think we had any at all in July.

Similar story here. A couple of heavy showers with very squally/gusty winds that rapidly dropped the temp, down to 3.8c in one shower, plus hail. A bit of a wild afternoon.

The tour group that came to see our garden today got snowed on. They were incredulous. Was fun to see their reaction. Waa novel leading a group of thirty through a snowy garden.

The wind has been manic today. 50 knot gusts reported at our airport AWS. Currently 11c, although it got to 14.7c earlier.

What month is it again?

And it's a beautiful garden, whether snowing or not. I visited in October for the Garden Lover's Fair.

This was at my own garden up on the mountain, not at Bolobek. 😉

I did think it was especially remarkable for snow at Bolobek! ;)

I’m sure I just saw a few flakes coming down in that last shower we just had in port Melb.
Certainly a wintry mix of sorts.

Thats quite significant for a "coldie" hail scenario James - please consider adding your location to your profile.

We've had 4.5mm from squally showers (one with hail) since last night, often with strong W-SW wind squalls. 18mm so far from this event.

Minus 3/4C up in the Alps this arvo going by the Bairnsdale radar, hope no travelers got caught out.

Looks like HB will cop another squally dose down there again tomorrow?:
