HEllo all you knowledgeable people. Help me solve a puzzle. I operate
a quite old computer - that's ok - it matches me and my car. One day
we'll all be classified by the NAational Trust and you'll have to pay
to come and see us :-).
But that's not my query. I am used to receiving emails from Truffles
with this strange attachment my computer can'tunderstand, and I get a
quirky little message from it saying it can't find a conversion and
will treat it as binary data. With the exception of one mail this week,
all Truffles' messages had this attachment. Now, on this morning's
messasges I have the same attachment back on Truffles', but also on
Jane's mail and Dane's (dpn).
As well I have been unable to access the Logos Jane forwarded and other
attachments from time to time. The only attachments I have success with
are the 'standard' Word and Excel documents. Please advise me as to how
I should proceed. Upgrading equipment is not an option at this time. :-(

The Sydney Doppler radar is operational as of today (25th Feb). It is
located at Kurnell in the Southern suburbs.
The AMOS meeting at the BoM last night was excellent - subject: Wollongong
Flash Floods of August 1998 presented by Bruce Buckley. Why didn't any of
you attend????? The weather update at the beginning of the meeting was
fascinating, detailing the current situation using the mesolaps output.
After the presentations, we viewed some of our 30th Jan 1999 chase footage,
then Andrew Treloar showed Jimmy and I detailed radar imagery of the storms
we were in near Gunnedah and Boggabri. We also saw the first images from
Doppler, but there were no wind speed/direction images on the scans they
had at that time. So after many years, the long awaited doppler is online
for the Sydney area. Supercell verification will be much easier now.

Hi all,
Further to my previous mail, on the way home from the AMOS meeting (which
was held at the BoM in Sydney city), torrential rain and some very close
CGs occurred in the inner west. Near Ashfield a bolt struck just to our
north (time: 10:30pm). Rapid development of the heavy rain was surprising,
as it extended all the way out to Prospect (40km distance from the city).
At my place at Oakhurst (a further 10km westwards) we didn't get any
substantial rain until after midnight, but it sure opened up - about 50mm
and strong gusty winds, particularly around 1.30am today. Most of the rain
fell in a couple of hours. 65mm in the gauge this morning.

Hi All,
Just to let you know how the forecast models went w.r.t.
the long awaited canberra deluge today.
Sunny, cool with a bit of low level cloud - but overall
reasonably good weather for hanging out the washing.
DOH!
disappointed in Canberra :(

Hi Nandina,
Good to see you are buried in another of your passions. Speaking of
which, I'm working on my second novel (lots of research!) and I'm
inserting some really good weather stuff like the big snow storm of
July 1900 that we had up here and one of my characters is probably going
to be a weather buff too. I just can't escape my weather interests! :-)

I remember chasing a huge Cu from Just past Thredbo to Canberra in
'97. We were about 20mins behind it and every town we went through
was covered in melting slush. Went through Coom at about 5:30pm
and the coutry side was white. Finally caught up to the storm
just outside of canberra, and drove through the densest blizzard
I've ever driven through. All the way into the center of Canberra
it was snowing, and next morning was just spectacular in the southern
suburbs.

Hi All,
Scattered Cu with very scattered showers at the moment. I have received
17mm of rain since it started.
This morning at 3.30am Penny the night announcer on the ABC radio
interviewed a US based storm chaser. He has his web site at:
http://www.stormchase.com/
This sight is looking for links to other sights. We probably should try to
get some Australian sites on there.
I got the impression that Penny has no idea that such a system exists in
Australia.
As she broadcasts from the Melbourne studios maybe one of the Melbourne
based members could chase this up. Penny unfortunately does not have a
personal Email on the ABC page.
At 10.45am 17C, 1014, 52%, E/ESE 20-30 Knots.
Terry.

Hi There,
I was reading with interest about the storm on the 23rd of January in
Gerringong. I at the time was down at our house in Mollymook (2km Nth of
Ulludulla) and also observed this storm but from the Southern Side of it.
The weird thing about the day was there was constant thunder from 2pm to
around midnight and always just North of where I was.(at 6pm I did venture
up to the lookouts near Pigeon House Mountain but there was still too much
low cloud to see. One thing I did notice was the intense rainfall on the
Mountains. There was no rain on the coastal fringe but as soon as I got to
the top it was pouring with the road underwater). Some waterspouts were seen
of the coast (www.jd.scoastnet.com.au/spout.html) But it wasn't until around
7pm that the lightning show kicked in. From 7pm till 10pm there was constant
sheet lightning to the N and NE and finally at 10pm to around Midnight
Ulludulla was lit up by some very intense CG's just above and off the coast
and Heavy rainfall.
James Harris
(I was also looking back at some previous emails from the 1st of January and
noticed the figures that morning for St Ives were 70mm between 7:30am and
Noon. I live in Nth St Ives and can tell you that the heaviest rain occurred
in about an hour between 10am and 11am.The gutters couldn't handle it and
there was water everywhere)

The Perth city site has moved around too much for such records to be
meaningful, but Perth Airport's record is 13 35+ days in succession:
20 January-1 February 1956. There have been 13 instances in 56 years
of 7 or more 35+ days in succession.
I'm also watching the record for most consecutive 30+ days. This
has some way to go: the record is 31 (23 January-22 February 1988)
and 20 will have been reached by Monday (i.e. the record would be
broken on March 13 if they get that far).
Oddly enough, this summer has also been notable for the absence of
extreme heat so far: the airport's highest this summer of 40 is the
'lowest highest' for a summer since 1986/87. This could plausibly
fall during the next few days, of course.

Same here in the southern Illawarra, basically dry from 9pm last night right
through to the present.
The first signs of worry were with Tuesday nights NGP and AVN run, they had
the Illawarra as the southern edge of the precip and that is pretty much how
it turned out. Over the past 2 days I have barely had 10mm.

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..
Did anyone know there is currently a Doppler radar being used/tested in
Melbourne? as well as the ones in Sydney and Darwin. I've just become
aware of this today.. also the BOM can do allot more with the radar they
have than i have been led to believe, and they also have some kind of
laser radar at the Brisbane airport? (opposed to the weather watch radar
at Marburg) I've heard talk of RAPIC radar (or something like that) not
sure if that's the laser one or not..

None.
hehehe been quite warm & humid here as we haven't had the rain band that you
Southerners had. However we have now had (at my place) 34 days straight with
rain. Yep....lowest fall 0.2mm to 51.4mm. EVERY day. so the rain fall figure
now stands at 303mm for the year, with Feb being 101.5 and its raining now.
Always evening & morning rain.
That scenario regarding the ECL is getting some credit here as the wind has
increased out of the SE quite dramatically sine 4pm. Blowing quite
constantly now. And there is something happening to the SE where the ECL is
supposed to be forming. So its wait & see I suppose.
BUT no storms! d'oh! Oh well. Hopefully soon I will have my pics on my
website (when I can find a good compression ratio that doesn't leave them
looking like Smurfs......)
Please it you want to chat ring me on (02) 65532028 (Home) or (02) 65525599
work or 0418662753 (Mobile. Or e-mail me at work on

see ya soon.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to remind ebbywun not to miss
Channel 7 on Saturday night, for Frank Warrick's World Around Us
It is a tornado special feature -about (but, I stand to be corrected)
- but I think, about the terrible outbreak in Texas, USA on May 27th,
1997 - that resulted in an F5 wiping out the township of Jarrel. 27
people were lost ... the devestation was complete and unprecedented...
.. a couple of sites to bulk up on before the night:-
http://www.met.tamu.edu/research/texacal/outbreak.html
http://weather.cod.edu/notes/jerrel.html
http://www.tornadoproject.com/index.html
http://www.pulse.net/storm/jarrell.htm .... (not for the faint-hearted ok!)
Sure to open your eyes
rals at truffles
oh yeah.. we got some rain this arvo .. temps are quite pleasant atm. approx ?23

And just for the record..60.6 to 6am today at North Seven Hills, of which 48.0
fell in 4 hours, less if you count the brief fine breaks. That probably means
rainfall up to 25mm/hr. Brief thunderstorms about 11pm mainly to the east,
nothing directly overhead. The drought index is down to less than 10, so after
more than 12 months zero approaches, (and out will come the lawnmower).
Total rain this month 131mm. (Spare a thought for Berowra..117mm to 9am
today....)
The Bureau suggests another low will form near New Caledonia in a few days..so
look out next week??

Hi everyone,
Weather in Bendigo this afternoon (Thursday) fine and warm
with a max of 29.1 at 16:50 EDT (my obs, not the bureau's) Cumulus of
moderate vertical extent present over Bendigo during the afternoon,
however the further east you looked, the greater in vertical extent of
the cumuli. Could become interesting over the North-East Ranges over the
next few days as the air flow tends more easterly.
Rod.

Hi there everyone. The upgraded computer has finally returned to its
rightful place.
Sorry to see that Kevin has to leave us but I've no doubt he'll be back
soon. Some great photos have been posted over the last 10 days and it's
good to see that Sydney got some action of some sort as well. It's been
quiet here in Melbourne for a while although there have been some good
cloud formations with the wind changes over the last week or so but only
showers affected us :-( . There was static on the radio on Monday but I
couldn't chase as the car died on me. It's now back as well so I hope
there is some action soon.
Chris
