I actually dislike the way BoM is going about this event. The chance of storms today was only ever possible to the north of the city, yet they still went ahead with a "one size fits all" approach. They really need to split their forecasting to 4 regions for Melbourne and its outskirts Tha...

Looks like yet another epic dud fail for this neck of the woods. Thank god I watered last night as we have received absolutely nothing!

Next system please whenever that may be.

Skywalker

Distant rumblings here from those cells just to our south here in Burnside Heights. Doesn't look like we will be getting anything.

I've already given up & began the nightly watering routine.

Skywalker

Pathetic lazy "all eggs in one basket" forecasting by the BOM this morning.

There's obviously zero chance of getting anything out here in the western side of town.

Skywalker

Absolutely disgusting conditions down here on the island. Not much better back in the western suburbs earlier this morning either. Pathetic System!

Going to be a very depressing couple of months coming up unfortunately. Sprinklers, hoses & watering cans are armed & ready.

Skywalker

Absolutely disgusting conditions down here on the island. About as bad as it can get.

If I'm brave enough I might go for a stroll & check out the tide, Only thing is our beach is north facing so not expecting anything unusual to occur damage wise.

Skywalker

Pure disgusting windy filth out there today. So over it. Has to be one of the most boring frustrating periods of weather I've experienced for quite some time.

Skywalker

Certainly more than just a couple of mm down here on the island this morning, over 20mm so far & still coming down.

Stark contrast to the bugger all dribs & drabs back in the western wasteland.

Skywalker

Have a feeling the ranges will do their usual thing & shred the absolute crap out of this incoming band.

Expecting 1-2mm at the most here.

Skywalker

The weather gods have finally started making up for lost time it seems in this neck of the woods. About bloody time!

We got absolutely smashed here at work, 18mm according to the nearest melbourne water site down the road at Brooklyn.

Skywalker

Absolutely disgusting conditions down here on the island. Windy filth!!!

Stay safe everyone.

Rain prospects aren't looking great, unfortunately, with the front today, Saturday or Monday Sadly I think you are right HB. :( The western desert is really living up to it's sad existence. It hit 42 backing degrees at work today with not a drop in sight. Only drops falling in my backyard lately is...

Skywalker

Absolutely sweet bugger all here in the boredom zone. Surprise surprise.

Another night of watering coming up.

Skywalker

Unfortunately it's back to full-time watering of the gardens with no rain in sight at all. Can't believe how rapidly it's changed.

Skywalker

Sorry to hear about the Kidney stones hillybilly. They are nasty things. Remember the pain the old man went through years ago when he had them. Wishing you a speedy recovery mate. Briefly back to slightly wintry conditions down here on the island today with some light brief showers pushing through. ...

Skywalker

As i say, never take any notice of the forecasts Yep, exactly. It's much better to make our own predictions & analysis here on this fabulous forum than read any of the nonsense released by the BOM. It's exhausting the amount of times those incompetent fools have stuffed up the forecast. Magnifi...

We somehow narrowly missed that cell that went through Craigieburn while driving back from Kilmore. Copped the back end of it when we got to Wallan. Had no idea it was that intense until my wife saw the reports coming through on her phone.

Skywalker

Horrible day of disgusting windy filth here after absolutely perfect conditions yesterday. Very similar to last weekend, although was down on the island then so didn't experience the filth as much. Starting to need a good drink out here in the western wasteland as things are really starting to dry o...

Nothing beats a perfect rainbow after running for cover with my Kelpie.

Another morning of disgusting windy filth here.

This constant cold rubbish is really testing the patience.
