Hillybilly (David), Blackee (Anthony) & me, 93ben (Ben) have taken over running the forum after the passing of Rivergirl (Robyn) last year .

It’s great to see long time dry creeks flowing again, the Lerderderg river is flowing at the gorge again too.

A cold and blustery 11c for a max today. That Southerly cuts right through you.

Back to subtropical weather on the weekend, with early indications of 25mm+ of rain. Sweet.

Just tipped out 20mm from the manual gauge. A good drop for these parts!

3.4 to 7.2 C here today so a good olde winters day. A bit of sun, but didn’t make much difference.

We are slowly going more westerly now so should see showers return for later Wednesday and Thursday. Maybe a few more mms.

Feels a frost is on the way. The wind has dropped off and the temp has quickly dropped to 3c...

Bit milder and more humid air moved in here overnight with a few light showers. There is a little front for tomorrow morning so the odd shower to come, which will become more numerous for a while. Monster high for a day or two, but thankfully this one moves pretty quickly (which is odd :?:).

New thread time nearly for a long stretch of nwly winds with a series of troughs, then finally a swly change. Could add up quite well on the immediate coast and northern slopes. Quite mild so more likey rain than snow, until mid to late week.

Yes HB looks ok for those areas mentioned
The west coast could do particularly well for next week
Next to nothing for central areas (imo)
due to The Northerly- hence rainshadowing 😫

Showery foggy night with 4mm. Nice little top up, pushing the event past 25mm. Still a couple more mms to couple.

New thread time. It is looking better on the progs with quite a wet spell. Could add up significantly on the alps, though being a warm system won’t be good for the snow bunnies. This starts in Perth today with a Totla Fire Baan for them and Severe Fire warning :o (they’ve just clocked their driest start to a year on record). That should change in the next two days :D
