10mm in the gauge this morning so about 18mm for the event. There a sneaky front for tomorrow morning so could add a couple more. Was thinking 20mm is a pass for this one here, so might just sneak there
Bumper system for the city and northeast burbs, Otways and a fair bit of Gippsland. Lots of 20-40mm falls and a few spot over 50mm with a bit more to come. Mid summmer events are so important for reducing fire risk, given the plants a drink etc so fantastic to see.
Very wintery out there. Not unusual for January but still...
Got the wood fire going here with 8C. Kind of weather we get a couple of times in most Jan/Feb, and comes in handy for burning those branches which fall off the trees on the hot days. Saw some video of snow on Ben Lomond yesterday. Baw Baw might have seen the odd wet flurry, but the other mountains in Vic seem to have got cold after the precip cleared out.
I did find the media pretty frustrating yesterday... Whinge whinge whinge because it rained and was mild
It’s like we all would prefer to live ar Oodnadatta. They went on how it wasn’t like summer. Just last Saturday it was 42C which is about 16C above average, and yesterday was 21C which is 5C below average. By my calculations yesterday’s temperature were way more normal than a week before
