Hi Everyone,

I have been asked on behalf of the ASWA management committee to invite
people to send me there designs for an ASWA logo. If all designs could be
submitted by the 28th February it would be most appreciated as we wish to be
able to have a vote on them after this date. The e-mail address to send them
to is the following

mjpiper at ozemail.com.au

Also could the logos be attached as either JPEG or GIF files. Your
cooperation in this matter would be most appreciated as a decision has to be
made as to what our logo will be.

Matthew Piper (ASWA General Committee Member)

Our meeting could best be described like this.....
HEADLINE: Severe Weather Association meeting in Victoria kick starts
Melbourne's 1999 Wet Season
MELBOURNE: Saturday 13th Februay 1999

The Inaugural ASWA meeting started at 9am after causing torrential rain in
the city's eastern suburbs (36mm at Bayswater since 7pm Friday night) which
flooded local roads and lifted concrete drain covers off!!, with coffee and
photos (took us 2 hours to get to the rest of breakfast because we couldn't
stop talking).

Present were Clyve Herbert, Andrew McDonald, Dane Newman, Chris Gribben,
Greg Browning, Rod Aikman (who really made an effort & came on motor bike
from Bendigo in the pouring rain), Paul Yole (Murtoa) & me.  Finally took
ourselves to Dane's place for videos and lunch at 1.30pm - left at 6pm, came
to my place for a quick check on the radar & the last people left at
6.30pm!!!

Huge amount covered in meeting, great enthusiasm, there are some brilliant
photographers in this part of the world - I'll do a complete set of notes in
the next couple of days, but suffice it to say that it was an absolutely
outstanding success.  The next meeting will be 27th March, same time, same
place!!

Weather report - it's not raining!! - I've had 55mm in 36 hours.

Jane
Bayswater

Hi all,

I was wondering if there are any mirror sites for www.noaa.gov that also
have the AVN/MRF raw data information.  Back in the middle of December,
my ISP was inadvertently banned for some reason (possibly effected by
another ISP going through the same supplier) after 2 months of emailing
www.noaa.gov about the problem, I have given up.  Does anyone know any
mirror sites?  As the only other solution is get a new ISP which then I
have to pay another connection fee, inform people of new email
addresses, change computer settings etc.

If you could help me, I would very much appreciate it!

Thanks in advance,
Anthony

Very well picked Michael - if only we'd had your email earlier
on Saturday..... (just going through my mail on Sunday night after
the weekend in Sydney).

Anyway after Saturday's ASWA meeting, my partner Margaret and I
caught the Manly ferry. As the swells on Lake Burley Griffin don't
really give me any practice in picking likely sea conditions, little
did we realise the treat that lay ahead...

For the 5 minutes or so of exposure to the ocean swells and which 
the ferry was running parallel with, we had a very interesting 
ride. Lots of oohs and ahhs, quite a few wet passengers near the
front and a partner whose respect for my forecasts and assurances
of 'no problems' has been somewhat diminished.

The front beach at Manly was officially "closed" because of the 
waves. Needless to say I was bemused to see the numbers swimming
regardless and can only feel sorry for those who have to then
risk their own lives in the inevitable rescues.

Great to meet everyone at the Sydney meeting on Saturday (and great 
to see the funnel cloud captured on video).

Well 20 years of surfing in my younger days helps in forecasting waves, if
fact one of the reasons I really started to get into weather maps, etc,  was
that I found it easy to predict surf. The latest swell started on Thursday
and is still running today, there is a big difference with this type of
swell as opposed to a East Coast low swell, the later comes and goes on 2-3
days.

This latest swell will depend on how long high pressure stays put over New
Zealand. About 10-15 years ago a similar synotic suitation gave 14 days of
5-8ft waves.

Regards
Michael

Hi all,

For those who aren't aware, the QLD ASWA meeting on the 20th of Febuary
shall be held at my house again at 10am.

The address is:
14 Kinsella St, Belmont, Brisbane 4153
My phone number is (07) 3390 4812, so if you get lost and/or need
directions, please don't hesitate to give me a call.  If you would like
directions in advance, please email me on cyclone at stealth.com.au

I live very close to the Gateway Motorway, so it shouldn't be too
difficult to find.

Just remember, if anyone is from NE NSW, and would like to attend the
QLD ASWA meeting, or if anyone will be in Brisbane on the 20th of Feb,
they are more then welcome to attend!  Please just email or phone me in
advance, so I have an idea on who is coming.  Just remember if you are
coming from NE NSW, about the time difference, you will gain one hour
when you enter QLD (so if you anticipate that it will take 3 hours to
drive here from NE NSW, you will only have to leave at 8am, not 7am, as
when you enter QLD you will have to wind your clock back 1hr)

If you require accomodation, please email or phone me, and I will try
and suggest some hotels, but I'm not very knowledgable with Brisbane
hotes, so you'll have to forgive me if I seem a little unfamiliar.  I've
tried to organise the meeting so that 'out of towners' will only have to
do a day trip, but certainly this may not be everyone's case.

Anthony Cornelius
QLD ASWA Co-ordinator/Rep

Hi Patrick,

When I used to work on the Manly Ferries,  the North Head had a framed pic
inside the wheelhouse.
It showed the North Head in a trough....all  you could see was the 2 funnels
& the deckboy cleaning the compass on top of the wheelhouse.Now as the
height from the top of a funnel to the water level was about 20-35ft, there
must have been one hell of swell that day!!!
Anyway, gotta go & do some stuff
See Ya's
John
