The worms are scooting around their farm lid in quite large numbers, so here’s hoping for a winter inch or two…just to tide us over until the Wet…
we had another 18mm in some heavy downpours – our turn to be where the rain was falling.
We got 5mls today. At least the clouds weren’t for nothing. Those few surface mm’s are all wet again now.
No rain here, but a lovely fog in Mangolia. Spooky stuff!

No it didn’t.
It’s raining. 10mls so far. Supposed to be fine by this afternoon. Too wet to go weeding again so still deciding what to do with the day. I have an order for biscuits but it’s too wet to do them too.
Lovely rain overnight……. woke up a couple of times to rain:)
5mm over night:)
got 20mm yesterday :)
June rainfall is at 82mm, the best June rain since 2004 by my records.
Dam levels are going up. At 33.3% compared to 25.6% this time last year (a record low.)
We had some rain later yesterday….. just as JimBob was coming around with his Mac for the internet.

Mine is currently a lake, the paths are rivers and with the pondy tub overflowing, the driveway is a rapid! There will be no watering for a while :)

I’m having a chuckle at the irony of the situation. We are allowed almost unrestrained use of water again to pay for waterworks like the pipeline and de sal plant. But it’s raining..
Most of us here were worried that it may have stopped raining or were praying for more as the place was starting to go brown again.. in the last couple of days we have had 40 mm so far. So that should keep them quiet for a bit. Still raining.

I need a boat and water wings, and if I don’t get the chooks dry soon I might start losing some.

supposed to be about rain.. you you… thread hijackers.. ;)
Mexicans are south of the border .. and traditionally it is a New South Welshman who calls everyone south of the border a Mexican and every one north of the border a bananabender.
total for the last three days is now 87 mm., 45 mm fell so far today, still sprinkling but wind getting stronger and yes a rather cool evening.My rain guage, which I now empty nightly, holds 30 mls and overflowed so I looked at the BOM site for a total and it says 11 something ml..
There is no way that 11 ml could be right after raining hard nearly 12 hours and the roadsides are small lakes. So what gives ?
ps. I peeked into my neighbours yard and it’s under wter ,ankle deep.. my yard is well drained, not a puddle left.

the BOM would read their gauge at 9am…. so maybe 11mm since 9am? When did the rain start? And localised rain shadows plus rain-black-holes are commonplace.

Yes it’s measured in 24 hour increments from 9 am and it started very early, and we had 25 mls yest’, but what a difference. that’s some black hole then!
rain is happening again :)
whooh oooh, the rain is going off!

on the news:
Up to 100 homes near Tumbarumba in southern New South Wales are in imminent danger of being inundated as floodwaters continue to rise and a dam wall has started to crumble.
Tumbarumba Shire Council has issued an urgent alert to residents on the Mannus and Tooma creeks, downstream from the Mannus Lake, to evacuate immediately.
State Emergency Service spokesman James McTavish says the Mannus Dam could burst as the wall of the dams are eroding.

It may not have rained as much where the weather station is located…so our temps are about the same as the weather station’s (which is at the airport) but not always our rain measurement…the town itself is always hotter…
The weather is considerably cooler and there are no mosquitoes atm…Might go home shortly as I’ve lost interest in the office work if I can’t print…

might get Chris’s skim board out after work, still raining this morning a one heavy shower woke me up around 3am bugga
15mm of rain o’ernight has added delightfully to the 13mm we had the night before and the odd shower or two in the few days preceding. So 38mms for the month to date is fantastic for this time of year, and it means that I am not chasing my tail around trying to keep up with irrigating.
I only need a further 19mm to go past 1,500mm for the year.
Smells of rain outside….few drops of rain on the roof.

Apart from the obvious dropping of trees/limbs etc, looks like you need to find some pallets and use them to stack shed stuff on them!

there are a couple of issues. the shed has stuff I brought up with me that I don’t really want but couldn’t leave it behind, and also some stuff of Miss N’s. Once that goes I will be able to organise it a bit better. But some good shelves would definitely help too. The other issue is there is a shallow open drain for the driveway which has become overgrown with grass and stops the water draining off properly and therefore backs up into the garage. I plant to dig the drain a bit deeper and clear it of the grass but haven’t gotten around to that yet. maybe even make a proper covered drain.

Hell’s bells BG! Looks like you had you’re own little yasi.
it seemed like it. The wind was blowing from all directions and you could barely see for the horizontal rain!
believe me, during a cyclone, the wind comes from one direction, and only one direction…. for the first 8 hours, then it shifts a little for 4 hours and then it shifts again for the last 8 hours…

Yay!!
I could be reading this wrong, but it looks like you are getting the “final fling” of TC Yasi’s tail…I think that’s it’s “head” over in WA…

Here’s another map
That’s a monsoonal trough up the top…apparently we (not sure who “we” is but that’s by-the-by) are set for a wet winter as well, but the spring will be drier than usuall…which augers well for a successful winter crop harvest…

Yes looks like it. Very overcast outside….think most of the rain will evaporate before it gets to the ground.
