Ballarat has dipped to 2.8C with the latest band so must be sleet at least in the higher parts there. Thinking Gordon must be seeing something icy at least
Apologies for the late reply HB; computer-less for the last 24hrs. Heavy snow here for about half an hour late yesterday morning - a true blizzard and our first real snow of winter. Temp. dipped to 1C.
Heavy rain and sleet beforehand so only a dusting on outdoor furniture etc; nothing on the ground.
26mm for the dates; quite a bit more nearby as we're somewhat in the lee of the Divide for NW rain.
Event total just over 20mm here. Rained quite heavily today with another 8mm. The temp spiked to 10c late morning, then sat around 5c to 6c for the rest of the day. Clear skies this evening.
Foggy up here overnight with another mm of spits. Slowly dragging ourselves to 30mm for the event. I was thinking 25 to 50mm at the start so in the range, but on the lower end.
Next week sees the LWT become strong in the Indian Ocean so we will go back to mainly nwly flow and decaying fronts. Systems going to drag down some very warm air but looks like we will be just south of it, with potential for approaches at records in central parts of OZ.
1.4mm in the gauge this morning so finished on ~30mm. Disappointing really - puts us at risk of another below average month (following the really poor May-June-July).
Time for the next thread which is rather messy with a series of fronts slipping over us.
