So has my wife. I call her the "ice woman" for a good reason.hillybilly wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2017 12:51 pm Another cold wet windy day in FC. Closing in on 3mm.
Wife has had enough, thinking she'll make us move to Queensland if we don't get some sun soon
I really hope that you don't go anywhere Jasmine. Like HB & many others I really enjoy your very informative posts. Any negativity in my posts is purely out of frustration at the lack of real weather activity I get to experience due to my geographical location. Anyone who has lived in the western suburbs of Melbourne would know just how uneventful & boring this area can be when it comes to weather, especially during winter.Jasmine, not sure why you are going? I always enjoy your posts. I find the weather humbles everyone, as you can never be certain and surprises do happen. That's half the fun of an amateur forum like this, where people read the tea leaves. Sure there's science, but there's always gaps in what we know.
The media are nothing but a bunch of uneducated bananas with politically based self interests, especially when it comes to the Herald Scum. I stopped taking any notice of their ridiculous weather reporting long ago.The media do get excited, and imho overdid it for most but that's pretty much a given nowadays. There's no clicks to be had in a boring headline.
It's probably due to the fact that it's now Spring, not Winter. The Ski Resorts PR machine usually goes in to overdrive at the first whiff of snow in June-July to drum up business.Gordon wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2017 9:27 am Just passed 20mm for the dates - handy! Local lakes are full or nearly so, streams flowing hard.
As an aside, surprised and a little disappointed in the mainstream media not making more of a fuss about the incredible snow depths now being reached in the high country - depending on location, most snow in 15 years give or take. If it was the least snow in 15 years, the headlines would be screaming. I believe in climate change, but such a shame that climatically positive events like the current one have to be hidden away because they don't fit the agenda!
