Thanks Mike.

Well I've only just got here, but I'm training them slowly (or maybe
quickly!) I always look at my prints while I'm in the store, and if they're
over-exposed (in the processing), I'll show them straight away, and jovially
suggest, that as it's night-time in the shots, they should be DARK! And I
get them to re-print them. I'm never satisfied walking away with
over-exposed prints, unless of course, there are no CG shots or anything
worth keeping.

I understand that their processing machine compensates automatically, so I
usually tell them before-hand (if I remember) that the shots are meant to be
dark, and should be printed accordingly and they're always happy to oblige.

I tried slides a few times (I do much prefer their lack of exposure
latitudes, and hence the more accurate prints), but just found that I only
ever wanted prints back, and it seemed to be a real effort getting the
slides back, and then getting prints from them, not mention hideously more
expensive.

If I need reprints made of negatives due to processing over-exposure, the
lab is always happy to do it at no charge. Anyway, I've babbled enough!

Cheers!

Marty.

This is all very interesting.

I'd be interested in readings from different sites in Katoomba too.

I might do some tests in Blackheath this winter to see how different my
readings are at particular places in the area.

Hi all

The BOM have delayed the arrival of the front until this afternoon but are
sounding a lot more confident that this will be a cold outbreak eposide. The
forecaster on the radio this morning said very cold air will push up through
Melb tonight and through Weds with squally south westerly winds and local
hail.

The forecast max for Melb tomowrow has now be changed to 15, and snow is now
forecasted down to 1400m on the Alps.

Currently fing, with a light to moderate north westerly and overcast with
stratocumulus.

Hi Nick and all,

When you see the sat pics you can see how cold that air really is!!! 
Brrrr....it was cold enough here last night (14.8C for me...) and
certainly as the front pushes through, Thursday will be cold!  MRF
doesn't think the cold air will move up N very much, but certainly NGP
and AVN think it will...AVN has our 850 level on Thursday at
6C...haven't seen it that cold since last year!! :-(((

Get those jumpers + coats out of the cupboard Brisbanites!!!

Hi All,

We had 0C last night but you wouldn't know it. Kinda wandered
out to get the paper in bare feet, stumbled back in, heard that
it was up to 2C, and realised that I must have acclimatised
pretty quickly :)

The cold air here is due to the crisp, still air. I imagine tonight
will be quite a bit warmer if the cold winds come through with the 
front. 
Just reread that sentence. It makes sense somewhere, I'm sure of it.

cheers,
Chris

Hi All

Well she's looking very interesting for the coming 48 hrs in the S.E 
of Australia. The high to the west is starting in influences the 
direction of the cold air pool, it is now been drawn further north 
and from the look of the latest sat pics could line up the S.E pretty 
well.

There are now all sorts of warnings in Tassie, which is now expecting 
snow down to the 350m mark. 

In Melb at the moment it is very benign, no sign of the coming 
weather event. 

The first of the cold air is expected to move through Melb tonight.

Get out the pressure suits and decompression champers or prepare for

Terry (& others interested),

I'm amazed that your computer didn't lose CMOS knowledge of other
setup stuff e.g. disk, memory etc. Earlier PC's had this problem
where you couldn't change the CMOS battery without losing all
setup info! Many people have given up after this because in
many cases, the configuration of the hard disk could not be
found as it was not written on the hard disk's case. Hopefully,
later PC's don't have this problem:-)

Hi all,

Well, the cold front in question just passed through Adelaide.  A fairly
disorganised line of showers, nothing spectacular, no WX, about 5mm of rain
methinks.  The air behind the change is certainly cooler, (it's about 14
degrees here now) and will doubtless cool further in the next 12 hours.
Everything feels nice and Autumnal though.....

Hi all,

Temeratures around Maitland have not been quite as cold at night as during
other April's. Last night was our coldest night so far this month of 8.3�C. My
record for April over four years was 2.9�C, set in 1996.

This cold front seems interesting, however, I believe it want lower the night
temperatures that much, due to some coastal showers.

I agree entirely (although it's actually at about 900m). The problem
is that the weather districts are tied into the district numbering 
system, which was developed in the 1920's (I think), which in turn
forms the basis for the station numbers by which all data is indexed
- in other words, they can't be changed easily. 

There's also confusion when the boundaries of the Bureau's districts
don't match regional boundaries recognised by other bodies (the 
Gascoyne in WA, for example).

There will have to be a change of some kind in the near future, as
district 40 (SE Queensland) has almost run out of station numbers -
they've used 911 of a possible 1000.

Hi all,

Well...ok, I'm going to say that I think there's the possibility of a
few thunderies in SEQ (SE QLD) tomorrow...today kinda helped make up my
mind - with a very re-assuring NE sea breeze that came in this
afternoon.  Unfortunately, because of the cooler wx, it probably won't
be anything spectacular, the models are forecasting a marginally
unstable atmosphere, however there appears there'll be a fair bit of
convergence around in the SE QLD area, and yes - a N-NE'ly wind for part
of the day.  This combined with the border ranges + added frontal
convergence + marginally unstable atmosphere + a few other little
things, should *hopefully* cause something to happen tomorrow.  But
we'll see, now that I just opened my big mouth, it probably won't happen
now, and I've just spoilt it for all Brisbanites! hehe

All I can say, is that fellow Brisbanites should have their heaters
outside tonight, to help in keeping the min temp up, so tomorrow has a
head start :)

Hopeful Anthony from Brisbane

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..

I hope you're right Anthony.. although i dont like what the models are
doing for us one bit, it was good to see that NE'r come in this afternoon,
and there were some nice Tcu getting some decent vertical extent to our
south - I'd be happy with a nice lightning show if the Change kicks
something up on the Border Ranges tomorrow Evening/Night..

each month will have their photograph showcased on the ASWA homepage, have
their image in the calendar, and maybe a prize (to be determined).
 
Rules/Procedures

* entry is open to anyone but the photos you submit must be taken in
Australia or its Territories - location should be noted on the submission
* it does not matter if there are power lines or houses etc. in your photos
- we will be looking at the weather in them
* an individual may submit up to 5 images per competition
* entries must be sent to Michael Fewings  by Friday
30th April. make sure your images are less than 100Kb each and in JPG
format (ask if unsure, have no scanner, etc.)
* after the closing date, the committee and state reps will choose what
they think are the 6 best received and place them on the web site for you
all to vote on.

Mike is looking forward to many submissions - so go to it!!

regards, Michael
ASWA President

Hey all,

Well...AVN has changed it's tune a tad again, it has a much more SSW
predominated change, the BoM also has a SSW change too, if this happens
(and not a SSE-SE change) we can practicaly wave good bye to the slim
chance we had...

Hi all,

Ok - well, this is something light, currently in #Weather we're talking
about the good old things we used to do when we're kids (and some still
do hehe) that were controlled by ideas to do with the weather - I
thought we might get a few laughs here to do with things like this!  So
I invite everyone to share these, don't be embarrassed!  We've been
discussing how all of us has had an obsession with flooding our backyard
when we were young, and the good old one which I still do occassionally
is throw ice onto the tin roof, or onto the grass to make it look like
hail :)
