Unless I've got the wrong station (086071) BOM have upgraded October's, possibly the 31st. Now showing 53.0 & 144.8 which brings us to (sadly I think) 243.2 as we are up to 45.4 for November. Another couple of mm's and I'm out too.

Yes it is all to do with the quality controlling that the BoM undertake.

another 2.6mm means that it's slipping away from me. Only 1.3mm to go and I'll be eliminated too, that should happen by next thursday :-(

Nov total now at 49.4mm

Give or take a mm, we currently sit on 268.2mm with a handful of days remaining.

Steve is closest to the pin and will be until the total reaches 273mm, then DC449 holds the mantle.

If would be foolish to suggest that proteous (327mm) & apocalypse (350mm) are out of the competition. It will depend on storms that could drop 30mm today or Saturday!

Very exciting times!! :D

Total now around the 283mm mark! 8-)
Unfortunately its so long to Steve.
DC @ 278mm, holds the mantle until the total reaches 302.5mm, then Proteous assumes control.

As Bill Lawry would say, "It's all happening", in a good way!! :D

Total around the 304mm mark.
Bad luck Dc, Proteous now lays claim to being the winner, unless we get another inch and a half by tomorrow night!

At 304.8mm, a huge congratulations goes to Proteous, winner of the Spring 2010 Rainfall Competition.

Great to see so many people knocked out by our record Spring rainfall totals.

A big thankyou (and bad luck) to all AWF members who were involved, as well as a big thankyou to those who donated the prizes.

Stay tuned for more exciting competitions in 2011.
