Just noticed that there are no warnings current anywhere in
Australia - the only warning on the Bureau site is a ocean gale
warning for waters well south-west of Western Australia.

Looks quite impressive - although I've certainly seen more spectacular
cold outbreaks in South Africa. This winter actually seems to have
been pretty mild, in Johannesburg at least - I haven't seen a below-
zero minimum from there yet (their July mean minimum is about 4).

Hey Marty, Peter, everyone...
This is an extract out of a book called "Natures Weather Watch: A guide
to forecasting the weather by observing animal and plant life", written
by Glenda John..
SPRINGS - It is common for springs and creeks to stop flowing, or dry
up, during long periods of dry weather whent he supply of underground
water is depleted. After sufficient rain falls the flow or supply in
the aquifer is replenished. But, there are instances just prior to the
end of a drought of springs opening up and dry creek beds showing wet
patches. Why?
Studies conducted on sand islands (those consisting mainly of sand)
around the coast of Australia have shown that there can be variations in
water table levels when the atmospheric pressure rises or falls.
However, there are no known controlled studies to confirm that
atmospheric pressure has any noticeable effect on water table levels on
mainland Australia.
But the fact remains - in some regions springs can begin to flow and
creek beds can show damp patches, or sometimes small pools of water,
prior to a substantial change in the weather.
********
This is a great little book and it comes highly reccomended..
re the BOM not forecasting the rain events.. I think we have to remember
the repercussions of a BOM forecast.. a forecast of a rain event a week
away can have a large impact on tourism just to name one.. and as anyone
with a basic knowlege of the weather knows that it is always changing,
and the weather is sometimes hard to forecast more than 48-72 hours
out.. so sometimes the BOM may not express these rain situations in
their forecasts for various reasons, but that does not mean that they
are not aware of the approaching situation.. there have been many times
just in the past few months in SE QLD when they have not started
forecasting rain untill the 24-48 hours before the event.. Something to
think about anyway...

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..
Just going over the models quickly this morning and i think we could see
some storms over inland SE QLD thisafternoon.. there is a weak trough
stretching from near NW QLD through the central interior to the SE
inland.. and with -1 LI's and some niceish VV's on the border ranges the
setup is there for some weak storms..
EC has a weak trough lingering roughly in it's current position for the
next few days (or drifting west slightly maybe), and BOM is going for
showers and local thunder over the Darling Downs right up until
thursday.. some models are actually looking quite interesting for inland
QLD over the next few days.. hopefully some weather will make it to the
coast..

The formal way of dealing with spam is to forward such mail,
with headers complete, to the "postmaster" at the ISP or
mail server to which you belong clearly marked as "Spam".
If the postmaster is able, that address is then marked for
blocking. In the long run, spam lists can become very large
for a large ISP or corporate. The response to this is to
extend the spam net to whole domains. As a result, the force
of numbers blocking addresses up to domains will keep spam
to a manageable minimum, it is hoped. To regulate completely
is a pipe dream. This is a form of self-administered internet
regulation by the force of cooperative numbers in an open
internet. The only way it can work is for people who receive
spam to advise their postmaster. If they don't, the postmaster
has no way of knowing, hence spamming continues without any
form of regulation.

It might work but it also stuffs up mail servers for others.
"Mail bombing" is almost as internet-anti-social as the spam
itself. Not recommended IMHO as first resort since their are
ways of spoofing addresses also, hence you may end up bombing
an innocent internet user. The best and formal way is to advise
your postmaster. That way, an innocent internet user may
complain about not receiving replys and the spoofing may
ultimately be discovered from their end alone. If you actually
mailbomb the spammer, then well and good, they might stop. But
in the process, every user on that mail server may suffer. The
spammer has therefore succeeded in their inconsiderate attempt
at being a class idiot on the internet. Another way to look at
spamming is like 2-year-old-attention seeking behavior, since
there seems to be little difference. Give the spammer attention
and they love it. Ignore them by simply blocking them is
ultimately more effective. Details about this technique are in
another Email on this subject.

Hi Everyone,
Us coast dwellers enjoyed seeing your big frost yesterday morning. We passed through Blackheath about 8 am on our way to Clandulla. The frost was even better in the Hartley Valley.
We now know for sure that the ice markers on the bends at the Lithgow end of the Hartley Valley don't work. Lucky for us that we were not 30 seconds earlier, because some unlucky person flipped his brand new Commodore on the thick ice on the road there.
If any of you mountain dwellers see an article in the local paper could you please save it for us and let us know.
On the way home at 5pm the big, "ice on road", signs on the approaches to the bends were open but of course there was no ice on the road then. We couldn't remember seeing them open in the morning.
Judy Mayo

Someone I know here threatened to send a spammer an 800 MB global
circulation model output - strangely we never heard from that
spammer again...
Spamming meteorologists (especially research meteorologists) can
be a dangerous game - we've got plenty of very large data files to
retaliate with if necessary...

Equal 4th actually. Others were 1.6 on 10/8/1994, 1.4 on 6/8/1944 and
0.9 on 7/8/1888 (the last two were at the old site, which is slightly
warmer than the current one).

Yo Ben,
Fungus in the lens is bad news - makes all the photos fuzzy and lack
contrast or have blooms on them. I had this prob with my old Pentax
ME/Vivitar 80~200mm. You can get the lens cleaned but it costs almost as
much as a new lens, plus is only a temporary fix as the fungus comes back
rather rapidly appartently. So I ditched mine & bought a new one.
John.

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..
Interesting couple of days in Brisbane.. Sunday saw a crisp backshearing
anvil in a backbuilding (backbuilding on radar) storm 200-250km's NE of
Brisbane.. as well as some great Cb off the coast on and off throughout
the day.. and the tracker getting up to 30 strikes at one stage.. sounds
pretty sad compared to the 500-600 strikes every 5 mins we get in
summer.. but hey it's winter..
Some more nice Tcu and Congestus around today at times as well.. with
some quite nice Cb complex's offshore once again.. and some lightning to
boot earlier this evening (the flashes were quite bright from the top of
Clear Mountain - NW of Brisbane)..
On another subject.. i am looking at buying a second hand camera (as the
one i have has a sticky shutter - anyone handy with camera's?).. and
while the body of the camera appears to be good, the 75-210mm zoom
apparently has mold on the lens or something.. i take it this is bad? is
it fixable/worth fixing?
The price of the camera is $195, and it comes with the zoom lens and
also a 50mm lens.. the model is a Minolta XG-A .. as i know absolutely
nothing about cameras or lenses any help that ppl can give me on this
would be much appreciated..
Nobody has a good SLR that they want to sell for a decent price do they?

Just heard on the radio that small hail was reported at Archerfield airport
and surrounds. The cell is quite impressive for a winter storm, but not very
high. Small wisps of an anvil are very fibrous, but the base is nice and
contrasty.
Cheers,
Rosco.

Large bank of Cbs to my SW and W at present (4.30pm), and radar is
indicating movement towards the NE. Hope it makes it here, though tops are
not that high.
Scattered small to moderate cumulus elsewhere, after earlier large cu and
offshore Cbs cleared. Light SE winds.
Hail reported at Inverell in the 3pm obs.

Hi
I think I have heard of this one.
This is an interesting observation but one which seems to be an observation
where someone wishes it happens as well as it does happens. In other words,
I believe that, like the moon links to the weather, that the times it does
not happen, it is ignored but when it does, "Hey there it goes again".
Possibilities: depending on the reaction time of the spring flow, if rain
falls in other areas such as the mtns first then this may enhance the flow
and then within few days or a week, rain may occur in the area as a result
of more widespread activity.
I also wonder if the flow is just beneath the surface perhaps due to a
crust forming from the extreme dry and then with the onset of humid weather
and perhaps other influences, then it may begin to flow again. I proper
study needs to be undertaken over several years to see how accurate this
sort of observation really is.
I must say, that I have studied the moon type of observations related to
weather lore from farmers. When you say something doesn't work, they come
up with another observation so you end up at stage 1. I suppose, everyone
tries in their own way to explain and predict this complex thing called
weather.

It's a bit more impressive today..there seems to be a traffic jam!
There's now quite a deep fetch of southern air going all the way to
Latitude 70 degrees.
I also forgot to mention that a sharp (but now weakening) upper trough
appears to have been the driving force combined with a strong
subtropical jet stream.
The interesting thing is, do these systems normally sustain themselves
across several thousand miles and if so can Australia (at least WA)
expect a blast in about a week or 10 days? And does South America
sometimes get our severe weather?

I just want to thank all those who responded to my message re the
pornographic email. For all the wrong reasons,it was good to see my
experience was not isolated. My message really was a cry for support and
I was glad to read the various responses.
I'm not some morals crusader but I agree with Les that pornography
should be eliminated everywhere.
Also I think we owe Michael S a vote of thanks for his advice on how
best to deal with this menace.
Thanks again..

According to tonight's TV news there were showers offshore from Sydney
all day (appears radar confirms that at present) but given the size of
the clouds I'm surprised lightning wasn't present..has anyone seen any
(I couldn't notice anything about 6.15 this morning on my way to work
and coming home there was too much reflected sunlight and from home the
clouds are too far away)?

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..
Just going over the models quickly this morning and i think we could see
some storms over inland SE QLD thisafternoon.. there is a weak trough
stretching from near NW QLD through the central interior to the SE
inland.. and with -1 LI's and some niceish VV's on the border ranges the
setup is there for some weak storms..
EC has a weak trough lingering roughly in it's current position for the
next few days (or drifting west slightly maybe), and BOM is going for
showers and local thunder over the Darling Downs right up until
thursday.. some models are actually looking quite interesting for inland
QLD over the next few days.. hopefully some weather will make it to the
coast..

Looks quite impressive - although I've certainly seen more spectacular
cold outbreaks in South Africa. This winter actually seems to have
been pretty mild, in Johannesburg at least - I haven't seen a below-
zero minimum from there yet (their July mean minimum is about 4).

Hey John, everyone..
I just found out that both my 200mm no zooming lens, and my 75-210mm
zoom lens both have fungus on the lens.. so it looks like i'll be
heading into storm season without a zoom.. which is frustrating
considering the main reason i brought an SLR is for the zoom..
But i did get a chance today to test out the camera i just purchased..
ending up chasing from around 10am this morning to about 4pm.. but the
only storm i encountered was late in the afternoon around 2:30-3pm.. it
was nice (ended up taking about 15 pics over an hour) but not strong..
and i was surprised to hear reports of hail from this storm.. mind you i
think it was only soft mushy stuff..
I also have some pictures scanned (Thanks to Rosco) and up on the web..
i have placed them at this URL:
http://www.flatrate.net.au/~bodie/newpics/index.htm
There is also a picture of myself in there..
Yo Ben,
Fungus in the lens is bad news - makes all the photos fuzzy and lack
contrast or have blooms on them. I had this prob with my old Pentax
ME/Vivitar 80~200mm. You can get the lens cleaned but it costs almost
as
much as a new lens, plus is only a temporary fix as the fungus comes
back
rather rapidly appartently. So I ditched mine & bought a new one.
John.

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..
Interesting couple of days in Brisbane.. Sunday saw a crisp backshearing
anvil in a backbuilding (backbuilding on radar) storm 200-250km's NE of
Brisbane.. as well as some great Cb off the coast on and off throughout
the day.. and the tracker getting up to 30 strikes at one stage.. sounds
pretty sad compared to the 500-600 strikes every 5 mins we get in
summer.. but hey it's winter..
Some more nice Tcu and Congestus around today at times as well.. with
some quite nice Cb complex's offshore once again.. and some lightning to
boot earlier this evening (the flashes were quite bright from the top of
Clear Mountain - NW of Brisbane)..
On another subject.. i am looking at buying a second hand camera (as the
one i have has a sticky shutter - anyone handy with camera's?).. and
while the body of the camera appears to be good, the 75-210mm zoom
apparently has mold on the lens or something.. i take it this is bad? is
it fixable/worth fixing?
The price of the camera is $195, and it comes with the zoom lens and
also a 50mm lens.. the model is a Minolta XG-A .. as i know absolutely
nothing about cameras or lenses any help that ppl can give me on this
would be much appreciated..
Nobody has a good SLR that they want to sell for a decent price do they?

With the high over Bass Strait gunning for 1040 the whole Australia is
basically under the influence of a single pressure system, must be getting
close to a strong wind warning on the QLD coast with those SE winds I would
think.
Frost galore for inland SE Australia again.

I saw a fogbow from an airplane once, and actually got a photo of it, but damned
if I can find the thing. When/if I do I'll post it to the net.
I didn't quite see the full circle, but it was quite bright and very close...
like just outside the window. I felt like I could reach out and touch it. Had
there been no danger and it was technically feasible I probably could have, as
the fog/cloud pretty much came right up to the window.
Marty.
