 Just wanted to know if anyone wanted to get together this weekend sometime
as JJ is down, this would just be a casual get together somewhere not a
meeting. Im prolly working so either Saturday arvo or Sunday arvo would
suit. Please email me, not the list and let me know what your preference
would be as in time. Also we need a venue, Greg suggested the Airo club in
jandakot which has buffet meals for $15 including deserts. One suggestion i
have is Rosie Ogradys on Canning hwy South Perth, its a nice atmosphere and
they have good meals for under $10, plus they have awesome beer!! Anyway
thats just two suggestions, if you have any more let me know and also let
me know your preference for time, ta

Hey John, everyone..

45mm here overnight in the 8 hours from 11pm to 7am this morning from
several periods of quite heavy rain.. enough to wake me up several times
(i sleep like a BRICK).. the main cloud band that was over the southern
interior of QLD yesterday has moved SSE overnight to be centered over
NSW as expected, but some quite nice cloudtops sitting just off the
coast of Brisbane which is responsible for the rain i had overnight..
should be interesting over the next 24 hours at least.. light rain has
increased to moderate/borderline heavy and steady as i write this
email..

My total for the past 7 days is around 110mm..

OK..please don't ring the funny farm..I think the guy's on IRC are going to:-)
Last night while driving to work (Brisbane) at about 10.15pm, we had complete overcast, I saw a very small flash in the clouds (about 20 metres dia.). This flash was immediately followed by a small white light that emerged from the clouds and travelled towards the ground at about 30' to the perpendicular and was moving quite slowly.  The light then "burned" out at about 400 feet above the ground.
I straight away thought "space debris" but if that was so it would have seemed to be moving a hell of alot faster than it was considering the range was only about 5 kilometres and it must have been pretty big to make it that close to the ground without burning up.
The guy's in IRC are fairly certain it was debris but I can't seem to reconcile that with the apparent speed of the object.
I have also thought of ball lightning but I don't know enough about the phenomena to make an educated decision.
So if there is anyone out there that knows more about it than I do (wouldn't be hard) please gimme an opinion.
Allright you can have me locked up now as well :-)
Cheers...Craig

Woe Ben,

Lucky you!  My range guage had next to nothing this morning, <1mm, and that 
from some very light drizzle that started around 1:00am.  I could see the 
rain band off the coast and just nudging it on radar, still seems to be 
doing that this morning.

John.

What is also intriguing is to compare the Sydney and Wollongong temperature
forecasts on the Yahoo site for the next four days. Here's how it reads:
                 Wed    Thu    Fri    Sat
Sydney         18     20     19     18
Wollongong   16     15     13     11
Considering that historically the Sydney and Wollongong max are typically
only about 1 degree apart, these forecasts should be treated as extremely
dubious. I suspect they are automatically generated forecasts.

Agreed. Just try making sense out of the 2m temperature plots from AVN
and MRF for a given location. You even get a different result if you
enter the latitude and longitude! Something tells me that the dataset
is a bit wonky. At the other extreme, if I take the 700mb temp and
the 850mb temp for Perisher Valley at -36.41S / 148.41E, then work
out what the temp would be at Perisher's altitude (it's a linear
interpolation calculation), over the last 3 weeks, this has been 
within -1.5C of recorded dayly maximums and +0.5C within recorded 
dayly minimums for 75% of the forecasts. That's not too bad IMHO
particularly when I can't find any reference to diurnal corrections
applied to either model.

Sorry, Wollongong forcast yesterday was mainly fine - pardon my inaccuracy
:-|

It's currently drizzling here and the forecast early thismoring was for
showers, looks like BoM and Yahoo made a compromise.

 From what I've read of ball lightning you could well have witnessed this rare
phenomena. Unless there has been reports of downed aircraft or 'other' it is
the most likely scenario.

Was there any activity on the lightning tracker at this time? - though it does
not detect non-CG lightning.

You're not alone Craig.

Last night my Mum saw a long cone-shaped 'thing' north of Melbourne that had
a 'tail burning' behind it & was moving from west to east.
That was at about 18:00 on her way home from work.
The trajectory was quite low but I have yet to get some accurate info from
her about exactly what elevation etc.
It probably lasted for about 15s before she lost sight of it behind trees
etc.

Must have been the night for it!!

Regards,
Debbie Parker

Bayswater, Melbourne

Hi Craig,
Meteorites are a strange thing because they are so bright and so fast that
they tend to give a bit of an optical illusion. Sometimes a piece of space
junk travelling at many times the speed of sound, at a narrow angle of
approach, and burning VERY brightly tricks us into thinking that something
reasonably bright is travelling fairly slowly quite close. The only
visual clues we have are brightness and angular speed across the sky.
Chances are you saw something come in at a shallow angle moving away from
you. It may have been travelling extremely fast away from you, but only
travelling reasonably slowly towards the ground. The "burning out" may
have been it actually burning out, or getting dimmer as it moves away, or
merely moving out of sight as it crosses over the horizon.
cheers,
Chris

It's just started drizzling in Canberra after a *freezing* morning.
The temp was around 10-ish, but it seemed only half that (high 
humidity?). It's steadily been getting darker and more dismal all
day.

Hopefully this cold, fine drizzle means cold, fine, whitestuff up
in the Alps!

Hi Craig,

On B105 this morning they said there were numerous reports of this -
apparently a lot of people from Gin Gin reported it.  Astronomers said
it was most likely a meteorite about 500km away, but just looked really
close.

To me it sounds very much like a meteor or space debris, I don't think ball lightning would be a factor. How fast would you say it was going? I have seen many meteors that have had a very slow movement through the air before cooling down, some of these are called fireballs.
There were some other reports of people seeing Meteors last few nights aswell.

That's exactly what these were doing about this time last week..there
was an intense wave cyclone near Adelaide..the next day they had watered
that prognosis down quite significantly...
Seems there must be something built into the programming, probably
depending on the time/month of the year..

Hi Everyone,

Yep, another *wet* day here again...........been raining constantly since
10:15 this morning (or there abouts).
As I speak, it's absolutely pissing down outside...been heavy for about an
hour now......56.6mm so far & counting.
OK I've gotta go.......I've got to go outside & start building this
Ark...............
See Ya's
John

Hi Again,

Just been outside to take some pic's of some flooded streets here in Ballina
tonight.......I've been living here 19 yrs & I've haven't seen streets
flooded this bad........I'd  love to see  how high the Wilson's River in
Lismore is at the moment.
Michael B, you might have that flood you wanted!!!!!!!
See Ya's
John

Has'nt rained here in Bris for a while - Looks like we're missing out again.
It's hard to tell though, cause I've been in the computer lab at uni since
7:30 AM

Blues got luckey
