Thick smoke has just enveloped Lancefield within the last hour. Could this be from the fires in NSW?

That’s absurd!

Looks like this heat is just going to keep swirling around central Australia. Another blast after Christmas?

Possible code red this Friday? Winds might not be there, but in terms of heat it looks like a shocker.

The forecast for Perth this week is shocking!

The sky has turned a markedly grey/ brown colour. A lot of dust being lifted up.. shocking weather.

Not liking those storms. Fingers crossed

The wind is already very nasty here and it looks like it’s going to increase as the day progresses. Some of the gusts out west are spectacular!

Wow! That’ll turn some heads.. When was the last time Vic had a catastrophic rating?

Fire danger rating has been updated to extreme for the Mallee and Northern Country tomorrow.

Beautiful morning up here.. summer has arrived!

The wind on Thursday looks a tad concerning.

Still green around these parts, but the next couple of days look like taking care of that!

Starting to look pretty nasty up in NSW..

Can’t believe the weather contrast going on at the moment. It seems as if the whole country is on fire.. except Victoria!

Rain band is on our doorstep and it certainly looks good on the radar. I wonder how much we’ll receive?

Quite warm and windy here in Lancefield - as it has been for the last couple of days. It’s juuust starting to turn brown which is always a tad depressing, but it’s nice to have summer well and truly on its way. Dry records are seemingly dropping every month now in some part of Australia. It does pai...

Lancefield sits at 500m so fingers crossed for some snow flurries. I remember a day back around 1993 when there was 2 inches of snow between Gisborne and Woodend (Driving faster than walking pace had you off the road). Woodend to Lancefield was all white with the only black being tree trunks, fence...

Long time between posts!! Unfortunately full time study and work gets in the way.

Lancefield sits at 500m so fingers crossed for some snow flurries. It snowed on two occasions last year which was a pleasant surprise, but we haven't been close to it at all this year.

Pretty extraordinary weather I have to say. I literally don't think I've seen a cloud in the sky for over a week!

Next weekend looking reasonably dry and windy?!

Another day of strong dry winds and the landscape has been completely baked! The rain we had in December and even January helped keep a fair amount of green around, but that's absolutely not the case now. It'll be fascinating to see what March will deliver. Lancefield: 8.4mm for the month Riddells C...

Lancefield picked up another 44mm last night to bring the total for the past five days to 92mm! Very cool to see

Nothing here at the moment, all the action is JUST skirting to our south.

Picked up another 26mm with last nights storms. It was looking very nasty for a little while there, but thankfully it looks like the intense part of the cell pushed a tad further north over the Cobaw. There was a fair bit of rotation in those cells as well! Not giving up hope of a round three just y...

Wow - typhoon; living up to your name! Every chance hail Macca - huge (comparatively) black blob on the radar right now west of Lancefield. We had a bit of small hail but suspect there was bigger stuff at the same time showing as a black streak on the radar just to our north. Round 2 hitting us now...
