I am told that Adelaide's max y'day was 15.9, which is apparently the
lowest March max since 1946.  I'm off to Mr Thompson's web page to check
this, in the meantime, have there been any exeptionally low temps in the
eastern states?

Hi every1,

Now that my chat access has been cut off and my web access reduced to 
work-related, it's been a tad difficult to get or send info... :(

* FIRST FROST this morning! Must be one of the earliest on record for 
this area but cold air has been advected unusually far north...

* INTERESTING LOCAL HEADLINE: "Full Moons blamed for dry spell." It goes 
on to suggest that having three full moons in two months has seriously 
curtailed the normal March-April rain break...

* RAIN-SEEDING at WACA! News just to hand suggests that Melbourne-based 
AFL clubs want to re-introduce cloud-seeding over the WACA and Subiaco 
ovals to combat what they see as "dry weather superiority"! What next? 
Snow-seeding in the Victorian Alps?

* BIBLICAL PLAGUE? One juicy item from USAToday reports a rain of 
tadpoles from a severe storm in Louisiana! It went on to say that falls 
of frogs are not unknown from tornadic storms but this must only have 
been a small tornado....

* WEATHER21 ACCEDES TO ALL ASWA DEMANDS!! This is my favourite news 
story of the day: All Weather21 news reports must include the 
probability of mesocyclones and tornadoes as a coloured map grid; areas 
of lifted indices of lower than -6 must be flashing red; all reporters 
must grimace when reading the line "nice weather for gardening etc.."; 
and the 30 second pic grabs between segments must include severe weather 
shots. There is no truth to the rumour that Mark Hardy tied himself to 
the camera during his TC Vance report...

Cheers,
Kevin from Wycheproof.
Happy April 1st! ;)

In Canberra it was 17 - so nothing to write home about, and there
was allegidly a minimum of 2C in the northern suburbs of Canberra
yesterday morning. Felt normal to me though - maybe I've just 
aclimatised quickly :)

Hello all,

Well it seems like the cold outbreak has not quite finished 
yet.

The as has thickened up and the overnight temperatures
of close to zero havn't climbed much since sunrise. As a
result snow has been falling in and around Canberra over 
the last hour. 

There have been reports in that a number of roads in the 
area have been closed by accumulating snow and it is not 
possible to go further south than Williamsdale.

Apparently there have been some amusing incidents from 
vehicles going up the hill to Parliament House. They have
been losing grip on the icy roads and have been backsliding
and going around in all directions. The deft handilng of
such conditions suggests that the occupants were used
to behaving in this manner. Amazing as it sounds, the pond
in the forecourt of Parliament House has also frozen over -
I think a Tasmanian Senator is currently having a go at 
skating on it.

A BoM spokesperson was saying on the radio that this early
season snowfall while unusual was not totally unexpected.
He said that they had been watching the movement of the
cold air carefully over the last few days and thought that 
something like this could happen today. Apparently, it
seems that there have been a few unusual weather events
on this day in the past.

Patrick from a very white Canberra

at Port Macquarie - very wet & windy. Heavy falls of rain received now for
last 2 hours. Wind very gusty from the s / se.

Small cell last night between Kempsey & Port Macquarie - some moderate cg
lightning and some rain.

Looking like setting in this could be a major rain event. Opinions?

Kevin - I don't know about 3 full moons and rain - 3 full moons certainly brought the Easter break early this year.  My mother used to say that when the new moon appeared on its back, theat was a sure sign of a dry spell.  Any truth in that?  Huh?

Have a nice break - and if appropriate, Have a Happy Easter:-)

Cheers,

Yeah I knew that there was Doppler radar in Darwin - we saw it with a shot
of Thelma. It was brought in via some corporate sponsorship & Govt backing
to study the Hector storms .It was based on the tiwi islands for the period
of the study.

It is now based on the Northern peninsula of Darwin and used all the time. I
asked them while we were there if it will ever be put online (as in web
pictures and the answer was "not likely".

Paul.

Phil...
If confirmed over the 24 hour period, it will be the lowest March max in
Adelaide  since 15.0 was he top of 16 March 1946 - which, incidentially
was the lowest March max ever and the only March day which failed to
reach 16 degrees in Adelaide.
Sydney's top today was about 18 - the lowest since November but today is
April so not unusually cold.

Don White

I no longer have these details available, not since about 1997 when I got a
lovely E Mail from the BOM in Melbourne.
 ( Since learnt that temperatures records are not copyright, only the
presentation of such ).

Used the web space for pics instead. I think Blair's site may have the
info --

I believe this report .....

The US models have suggesting this for the last couple of days.

The Illawarra has been sitting just south of the rain and it has been dry
since 3.30am..... I hate dry weather.

I've got it scanned - Clyve is going to write the report that goes with it.
Distance can be a real killer in these sorts of endeavours.  :(

Bayswater,  Melbourne

BTW, Melbournites - where's the Sc chase on this weekend??
We have a good chance for some outstandingly *unphotographic* weather.  Mind
you Australia - our end of autumn report will catalogue every variety of Sc
ever named (and a few that haven't) - so if you're doing a thesis on
Stratocumulus - ask a Melbournite for information about June 1!!

An interesting note also on the Central Indian Ocean tropical cyclone
outlook re the tropical depression centred at 102.5 deg east being
 inhibited by the cooler water churned up by Frederic..there's a
 prediction of a moderate chance of development of this in 72 hours..
we should keep an eye on it..

A couple of days agao I lamented the fact that although I suspected a 
rainy spell in Sydney and northward due to that whopping anticyclone
and the upper trough, we were being told to expect dry weather, at least
by the TV weather men..now I suspect my prediction will be correct,
especially as the Bureau has changed its forecast from a dry weekend
to a wet one (esp.Friday). The fact that they say it will ease to
showers on Sat. is something I've seen many times ie often it's
forecast to ease only to turn into a major rain event of Genesis
proportions almost on some occasions...
As for today in Sydney, there weren't Genesis clouds, only
Jude ones ('...clouds without rain, blown along by the wind,
autumn trees without fruit...')

Hi Everyone

There has been talk for a couple of months now about a chase to North East
NSW/ South East Queensland during late November/early December of this
year. So far a fair few VIC people are very
interested(Clive,Chris,Jane,Paul,Dane) as well as NSW (Matt P,Matt S,
Jimmy) and QLD people (Anthonly/James/Ben).
 The chase will last around 2 weeks or so, nothing is finalised at this
stage and this email is being sent out to get an idea of people who are
interested in attending.
 Of course seats in cars will limit numbers (Eg if only 2 people with cars
from NSW go, then probably 3 Maximum in each car.)
 Basically we plan to travel where the storms take us and probably stay at
the closest town for the night.
 Anyway its months off and lots more discussion is going to take place,
but if your interested give me a mail PERSONALLY and if you are willing to
be a passenger/take your own car/or share the driving in someones car.
 
Thanks alot!

Matthew Smith
