Re: Victoria: Series of Cold Fronts. August 14-17 2010

Doesn't seem to be quite as windy as Wednesday night but already had four trees down in the Donvale/Doncaster area.

That mini rain band out near Ballarat seems to be giving up and studiously avoiding Melbourne for the moment at least.

Watching that rain on the radar creep slowly up the bay, the suspense is killing me!

Got the boat crews ready in case of any flooding issues on the Yarra.

Re: Vic - Potential ECL Aug 11-13 2010

Raining steadily here. What surprised me most was how cold it was, only about 6 degrees when we were walking to school, was expecting much milder weather what with the rain coming in from the north. Looks like plenty of activity marching south from the border at the moment, plenty of lightning and y...

Beautiful morning in the eastern suburbs, some high cloud around, plenty of sun and a good morning to be clearing out the gutters before the onslaught (hopefully) hits this week.

Re: Victoria: Strong cold front. August 3rd-5th 2010

Was coming down nice and steady about 15 mins ago at Nunawading Station. The gods were smiling on me as the bus pulled up just as I got out of the station :D

Wind was picking up a fair bit when I went to bed ; no 2am callouts to cut up any trees however, in fact a quiet weekend all round as far as storm damage in our area is concerned.

Re: Victoria: Westerly Change - Wed/Thur/Fri 16-18 June

Had well over fifty jobs to the SES in the Doncaster / Templestowe / Park Orchards area from the front that came though yesterday, plus more callouts today. Quite a few very large branches on some very large trees came down. Plotting the line of jobs on a map was almost a ruler straight line, starti...

Hammering down in the CBD, some nice gusts of wind too. Glad I'm inside on the 10th and not outside!

Re: Victoria: Low Pressure System. May 28th-31st 2010

Sounds promising so far, hopefully brings more than the last event (although that delivered a bit more than was expected). Doing some chainsawing in the Ballarat area over the weekend, any indications yet on the expected rainfall amounts around that area? Hopefully not too wet and cold - can't compl...

Re: Victoria: Low pressure system - rain - 23rd to 27th May

Light grey overcast sky and light rain falling for the past 10 mins or so here in Doncaster. Left the washing out as long as possible!

Not sure if that heavier stuff to the north is going to make it here though?
