Hi all,
An awesome line of storms has been developing over the last hour or two on
the Sydney radar - when I've been able to get a look at it! It's currently
marching towards Wollongong and I'm willing it not to disipate! Winds are
gusty from the N at the moment - I suspect the (very well defined) line is
the front.
I'll tell you in, oh, around half an hour if anything eventuates!
Andrew.

There's certainly a bit happening with this front. The latest warning from
the BoM (00:58)states that a 93Kph gust was reported in the Metro area. The
storms approaching wollongong did disipate into rain but the front hasn't
gone through yet so maybe we could get something.

I've put some plotted synoptic charts for NSW/Victoria at 3am, 9am,
3pm and 9pm yesterday at http://www.ozemail.com.au/~wbc/aussiewx/ --
interesting to see how widespread the strong winds were over land, and
the tightness of the pressure gradients.
The analysis on the 3am chart is interesting, though debatable -- a
small closed low over Port Phillip is suggested by the surrounding
pressure readings, but may be fictitious. Likewise, the ridge down the
great divide, which would certainly have strengthened winds east of
Melbourne, is possibly overdone because of the MSL pressure
conversions.
The 9pm chart also has rainfall isohyets.
There's a brief explanation of how to read the charts in the same
directory.

Quite a weird warning. While the "change" does seem to be moving
northwards, radar shows all rain from the Hunter south to near the Vic
border continuing to move SE or SSE. Strongest gusts so far are 41
knots at 00.23 at Bellambi and 47 knots at 1.22 at South Head -- I'm
not sure where they got the 95km/h gust figure from. Winds at Bellambi
only veered from NNW to WNW with the "change", while 2am winds at
Ulladulla and Wagga are still steadfastly from the N or NW. Perhaps
the "change" is a mobile tightening of pressure gradient???
Strong winds continue in Victoria, with Port Fairy and Dunns Hill
(just near Mt Dandenong) both reporting gusts to 47 knots at 00.30 and
01.30 respectively. The main wind change seems to be just west of
Melbourne, with N to NNW winds around the city but WSW at Port Fairy.
Sadly, Sydney radar is running over an hour late, while the GPATS
lightning map has been on the blink since 17.52EST.

The dryish late winter spring (and SDS) was well quenched yesterday.
Canberra airport recorded 37.5mm from 9.00am yesterday, I got 27mm at Higgins (about 20km to the west). Thunderstorms interspersed with moderate rain produced most of the falls between around 5.30 to 9.30pm.
The forecast is for more storms this afternoon as the colder intensifies along with the passage of an upper trough.

The BOM has scattered snow falls for south of the Cent. Tabs as of

Hi Ptera
Certainly a great photo, but unfortunately editing of any kind would disqualify it. The electronic version must match the original.

To show that I'm not totally slack, Here's a story:
I've been doing some part time work in a photocopier shop
in Wyoming (near Gosford.. near Woy Woy).
A woman came in yesterday to have some posters laminated.
They were taken by her son Christian about a year ago
and had been blown up to 500mm wide.
One was the most beautiful and impressive lightning strike I've ever seen.
I thought you lot might be interested so here it is:
http://www.acay.com.au/~adderley/lightning/
Christian is not on the net yet so I'll have to transpond any correspondence
manually.
Since the pic was so big it scanned well and I intend to print him out a
copy
of the one I've posted.
The original had power lines running right through the middle
but I've managed to edit them out.
On Christian's behalf and permission, I'd like to submit them to your photo
competition.
When I finally get organised I may mave some of my own to submit.
It's probably very rude of me to blunder in this way as I have not even paid
my subscription.
My apologies..
This will happen.
With regards,
Peter Adderley.

Hello Peter again...
But I should also mention that as far as the ASWA photo comp goes, the
presence of powerlines does not matter as they do not detract from the
weather phenomena captured by the photo. So maybe submit it with the
powerlines....

Thanks Laurier and yes, I am aware...but with over 40MB per day increase
in the archive for ASWA radar and satpics, adding more means less to
keep on-line and more on backup tapes...As for NPMOC, the chopped-off
image is a constant problem, particularly from 1500Z to 1630Z. The
reason for this is available time v/s demand at NPMOC. Raw satpic images
are received locally then processed to the images delivered via WWW. When
processor(s) demand is high, there is less time to process the received
image before the next one is due, so the conversion is aborted resulting
in a truncated JPG image. I'm not sure whether NPMOC's woes are just
confined to the WWW server, if so, then it is WWW demand that is
increasing processor load. But I tend to think that this timing of 1500Z
corresponds to some other event at NPMOC, say a backup run. I know
from much experience that running backups is enough to grind many
machines to a very slow pace leaving less for real work...

Someone tipped a bucket into the rain guage at Thredbo this morning...
9am Obs reported 310mm in the 24hr to 9am! In comparison, Thredbo
AWS recorded 4mm which is also very strange as -the other- AWS had
received over 30mm by the time it's gone off the air. The two are
located within 10m of each other. Me thinks that 100kph winds had
something to do with rain flying over rather than into the official
Thredbo AWS rain guage. Charlottes Pass recorded 37mm and Perisher
Valley recorded 41mm of which about 5mm has been snow in the
last few hours...

Not quite true...my radar archive for Sydney radar only missed the
following times for broad-scale:
199909160750 was a duplicate of 199909160740 UTC.
199909160910 was a duplicate of 199909160900 UTC.
199909162020 was a duplicate of 199909162010 UTC.
199909162240, 199909162250 & 199909162300 UTC images were duplicates
of 199909162230 UTC.
and for narrow-scale:
199909160850 was a duplicate of 199909160840 UTC.
199909160910 was a duplicate of 199909160900 UTC.
199909162240, 199909162250 & 199909162300 UTC images were duplicates
of 199909162230 UTC.
That's not a lot to lose but probably at critical times. No doubt
caused by some sort of mess because of lightning, excessive BoM
WWW hits causing overload, network congestion caused by outages
or you name it...
ASWA members who subscribe to radar can request images from
the archive by specifying UTC time ranges. Just Email me.

I thought the station listed as 'Thredbo' was the village and the
AWS was on top of Crackenback? (this would certainly be consistent
with their reported temperatures).
Anyway, the 0900 bulletin's been corrected to 31mm for Thredbo and
45 for Thredbo AWS.

Some rainfall figures from Hurricane Floyd and Typhoon York:
York: Hong Kong got 276mm in 24 hours yesterday (not sure when this
24-hour period ended). Press reports indicate peak winds around
140 km/h.
Floyd: Highest rainfall I've seen was 484mm at Wilmington, North
Carolina, but I'd expect to see higher totals from the hillier
parts of North Carolina and Virginia. There is a very broad band of
100+ totals (New York 120mm - and a bit to come as the system is more
or less on top of them at the moment - and Philadelphia 172mm, which,
somewhat to my surprise, is a 24-hour record for them), and a
reasonable number of 200+. Certainly their drought is now stone dead!
Peak wind gusts at landfall seem to have been in the low 200s.

Hi Jane and all. I've been off for a few days - anither hospital trip. But I have to tell you that last night (Thursday), at Wandin north, aroung 10.3m p.m. a tree came down in my daughter's back yard. One of thosepts. It crashed onto the roof, and 21 tiles had to be replaced by my son-in-law. Winds whooshed through from about 10pm to mindnight. Several mature trees down in and around Lilydale to Wandin, along Warburton hwy.

Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com
Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com
If you're interested in the physics and thermodynamics of Hell,
read on, otherwise [snip]. This is a recent "joke" posted to a
strongly-filtered "internal" jokes list that I also subscribe to.
It is one of the very best that has every entered my "Inbox"...
---
This is an actual question given in a recent University of
Washington chemistry midterm exam:
"Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs
heat)? Support your answer with proof."
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's
Law, discussing how gas cools off when it expands and heats up
when it is compressed, or some variant of this line of argument.
However, one student wrote the following:
First we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time.
So, we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell
and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can
safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the
different religions that exist in the world today. Some of
these religions state that if you are not a member of their
religion, you will go to Hell. With birth and death rates
increasing as they are, larger and larger numbers are being
born and dying in the wrong religion, and so we can expect
the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we must look at the rate of change of the volume of Hell,
because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature
and the pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell
has to expand as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
(1) If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at
which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in
Hell will increase until.....all Hell breaks loose.
(2) If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase
of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop
until.....Hell freezes over.
So which is it?? If we accept the postulate given to me by
Ms. Theresa Banyan during my Freshman year, that "it will be
a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into
account the fact that this event has still not taken place,
then (2) cannot be true.
And so, Hell is exothermic.
The student was awarded the only A grade in the exam.

Hello all.....
I have found this great site
http://www.mtnsms.com
For ASWA Vodaphone chasers it is excellent and will cut down on phone bills
who rely on someone watching the BOM Radar and relaying messages to the
chaser.
------------------------------------
This site is free...and you can send up to 10 messages to the same phone
number a day of no more than 142 characters long.
It is a GSM messaging service...which acts like a pager using your Voda
digital phone.
If you tee up someone on a puter you can go chasing and be advised by the
person on the puter if there are significant changes in intensity or
movement of cells from this website.
Check it out......Halden
PS the free service is based in Africa would you believe! The message you
send it instantaneous. You will note that Telstra and Optus have declined
to be a part of it....they suck.
PPS My son Deni who works for ONETEL as a Network Operations Control boss
advises me that Onetel between now and the end of the year will be offering
the first Australian roaming network.
This means that if you sign up with Onetel (and I am guaranteed the digital
pricing will be competitive with the three carriers) their system will use
all three carriers' tower networks which will mean that it will improve
coverage out of site......ie if you are closer to a Telstra/Optus/Voda
tower you will go though it.
I will keep you all posted on this development :)

Crap! Hahah!
I put the date back to use a shareware version of Paint Shop Pro that had
expired and forgot to put it back. Thanks!
Andrew.

No problem, the rules should be strict.
I've uploaded a new version to the same address (below).
Since I had to scan the original in three sections,
I had to stitch the parts together, which strictly speaking disqualifies it.
But the lines are back, as is the camera wobble.
I don't think it suffers much.
There are some things you just can't cheat.
A good lightning strike is one.
But I'm not fussed about the competition,
I'd just like to share a good pic
and spread the name of a fine young photographer.
New version is at:

Hi again,
I actually like this version better (seriously). The combination of
powerlines & lightning, particularly aligned as this happens to be, is nice
counterpoint on all things electrical. Maybe one of the power companies
might like to use it for their new corporate image. ("Putting the bang in
your power buck", and all that sort of thing).
(Of course if this was Energex here in QLD, their caption would be "Don't
blame us when the power fails"... :)
John.
