Hi James
I wish some would come my way. Rain guage at midnight 0.0mm, only a few
drops, literally, fell at Mt. Crosby this evening and no rumbles. But there
is still cloud about, 21.5C at midnight with a dew point not much below
that, so here's hoping... Maybe if Anthony takes a drive up my way in his
PJ's something will happen. I'm beginning to think he IS a Rain God,
particularly after that famous pose...
Total rainfall for April to date is just 3.1mm! Running 30 day daily av now
at 0.37mm per day.
Have checked rain guage very carefully - yes it does hold water, no leaks,
and no possums sitting on it. The last decent fall, i.e., more than one
inch in 24 hours was on Boxing Day last.
John.
>snip
My gauge only has 8.8mm in it.
Regards
James Chambers

Hi Brisbanites,
Well after the midnight reads, quite a surprise to wake up to a brisk and
DRY west/north-wester this morning with RH well below 50%. Dry Line or Cold
Front??? that is the question.
Upper level cloud is really zipping along this morning...
>snip
But there is still cloud about, 21.5C at midnight with a dew point not much
below
that, so here's hoping...

Band of storms moving in from the ocean, towards the coast, BoM reports
lightning from these... typical coastal coldies, look good but once they
hit the coast they die.. a bit of excitment for the morning anyway :)
Hopefully a few more later on...

Hi Sydney weather buffs,
For those interested, Matt and I will be heading over the Mean Fiddler for
a drink or two including a meal this evening. If you are interested in
coming along, please do. This will be an opportunity to discuss a few
things perhaps with the AGM, recent weather events, and perhaps a
discussion of the severe storms in 1998 November 13th. I was looking at the
photographs on that day and it has attracted my renewed interest in the event.
Time whenever you can get there but around 7:30pm
Please indicate whether you are coming to my private
e-mail jdeguara at ihug.com.au
Where: The Mean Fiddler is on the corner Commercial Rd and Windsor
Road in Rouse Hill

Allan Wilkie said it was due for landfall about midnight tonight and had
wind gusts of 260 kilometres per hour, that's heavy.
Also:
Anyone got any more insights into the colder weather for SE Australia
for the weekend?
My young tennis mate just asked me about the prospects of some colder
weather for us.
Cheers,

Came across this interesting passage in Lachlan Macquarie's journal.
Friday 6 Octr. 1815
"After halting a few minutes at Mr. Oxley's Stock-Yard, we proceeded to that
part
of Bargo where a great number of Trees have been blown down by some violent
Tempest, and appears as if they had been felled on purpose to clear the
Land."
The settlers were often granted extra land parcels after clearing their
original land. Clearing in those days was raise everything to the ground.
This makes the above even more interesting.

If you ever go storm chasing in the Stanthorpe region of Queensland around
cherry picking season you may hear a hail cannon. Frankly I think they are a
waste of time and money. Just hire me to storm chase the farm property and
it will be safe.
