Rubbish system so far here. Nothing but windy filth.

Looks like we got through relatively unscathed during Sunday night/Monday mornings storms. No damage to report at either property.

It was probably the wildest night I've ever experienced during our 8 years on the island.

So over this garbage windy filth. It's just relentless. The tiny amount of rain that does fall is immediately evaporated away.

Heading down to the Island tonight for a few days. Will be fair to say that I'll be staying away from the North facing beach in Cowes.

Not at all looking forward to the next week of absolute disgusting windy filth. Really feel for you guys up in the Dandenongs & Macedon Ranges. Going to be quite dangerous conditions. :sccary: Hopefully this garbage doesn't hang around for too long. Impressive light show Sunday night. Lounge windows ...

*double post*

The never ending dry & boring conditions continue here. Not a single drop.

Those lucky enough to be up the snowfield this week have picked the best week of the season. My son will be one of them. He is heading up to Mt Buller with the school first thing tomorrow for camp. I'm very jealous as the only snow I've ever seen is the low level event back in 1986. Gods must have ...

Wish this mild North Westerly windy filth would bugger off. My son is heading up to the Alps next week for school camp. It will be his first trip up there, so would be nice for him to experience a fresh natural snow cover.

Dropped to -1.1°as I was riding to work according to the local Laverton station. Cars iced up everywhere as I was working the dog earlier. Good luck to those drivers.

Very much counting down the days until at least September. Can't stand this uneventful cold crap.

It's been very dry here in the west as well. I had to water some of my outdoor plants on the weekend, and was virtually mowing dust when it came to giving the grass a trim. Can't remember the last time I've had to water plants in the middle of winter.

Rubbish system here, haven't even made it to single digits. Everything shredded by this disgusting windy filth.

Nothing but windy filth & a big fat doughnut looking radar here.

Another rather uneventful front this morning. Think I counted 5 drops on the roof.

Depends on where you are in the metro area. We haven't even reached double figures here.
It's very much hit & miss.

What a system! At least 55mm here, although suspect it could be higher (haven't replaced my gauge yet).
The Deer Park gauge down the road is showing 67mm according to Melbourne Water.

Best overnight result in a very long time here.

Another rather pathetic lazy effort by the BOM today with their continued "all eggs in one basket" approach to their forecast.

The big dry continues. At least I get to ride home tonight with a nice cool tail wind behind me.

The timing of this coming heatwave has simply blown me away, all 3 days of the long weekend!

Horrible conditions coming up here today in Melbourne's uneventful western desert.

Potentially 40 degrees along with the disgusting windy filth which is already here.

It's really bizarre seeing that on the radar.

Unbelievable!

That was fun!
All over now.

Wow, check out that black core over Oakleigh!!
