Wow, just went outside to start gardening and it started to snow. I was doubtful last night when they said snow to 700m this morning 3.5° now. Good stuff. There were some pretty 'blobby' showers (to use the technical term :) ) here early yesterday morning, so makes sense. 23mm here for the dates; 3...

Geez it’s bleak here today. Probably up there with the worst day of winter back in June. Agreed! Wind has dropped, but haven't seen more than 5C today, and often down to 3.5 to 4C with the heaviest showers. Another 6mm since 9am so up to 20mm for the last day or so. Adding to earlier in the week, q...

After several hours of nerve-wracking, house-rattling wind, it seems to have swung a bit more to the south-west, and backed off somewhat. Fingers crossed...

Edit: Just after I posted, there were a few blobs of wet snow during a heavy shower.

Gordon

Horrible day here, worst wind of the year I'd say. Yard and paddocks a mess.

14mm and 4C; no sign of snow here either.

Gordon

Healthy rain here this afternoon with another forecast-beating 10mm plus (still raining).

Some scary gusts late afternoon, but wind seems to have backed off over the last couple of hours.

Gordon

Great falls to the east!

'Only' 5mm here, but that's about double the forecast, so a good result.

Gordon

Just noticed this thread - posted in the wrong one! EC has snow to 600m asl around here on Friday evening. Latest BOM 4 day synoptic charts certainly show a deep southerly fetch at the end of the week, which usually means low level snow... although I've thought we were a chance a few times this wint...

Gordon

Ironically, EC now showing a cold outbreak late next week. Can’t keep up. Yesterday it was showing record warmth. As one who has to regularly plan outdoor work, I'm finding forecasts more than a few days out particularly unreliable over the last couple of months. Meanwhile, we received another 3mm ...

Gordon

6mm here and still raining, so another useful drop - although still going to be well below average for August.

Running about 1C above average for maximums; 0.5C for minimums.

Gordon

Thanks for the updated thread once again HB.

Light showers on and off most of the morning here, and continuing now; perhaps getting a tad heavier. Nothing was forecast until evening, but we'll take it, especially as I'm working indoors today

.

Gordon

13mm to 9am for us, nothing spectacular, but still our best daily total since June and already exceeding what I was expecting, with more rain falling.

Gordon

Lots of short, very heavy downpours this evening - unexpected. 10mm over the last few hours and more to come.

Gordon

Just outside the date range, but looking like a proper cold outbreak later next week. One to watch, and possibly worth a new thread if the models hold for a couple more days.

Gordon

What are Majors? I suspect he means the major (and therefore higher elevation) ski resorts like Buller, Hotham etc. as opposed to the likes of Lake Mountain, Mt Buffalo, etc. The former have picked up several centimetres of fresh snow this morning, which they desperately need (and more if they can ...

Gordon

After a couple of cracking days (though too windy for my liking yesterday), quite a wintery morning here, 6C with drizzly showers; 5mm to 9am.

It is just bizarre hearing these warm, dry Tassie reports - you'd think being 400km further south would count for something

That is serious wind

Finished the month here with 2mm overnight, making a total of 44mm, so only about 60% of average - first below average month for a while.

Gordon

Fairly unremarkable spell of weather here, with cool, drizzly and often windy conditions. Temps (max & min) are only running about half a degree above average, so not enough to really notice. July rainfall is down at 30mm mtd, but again, it's been so wet up until now, there's still water everywh...

Gordon

Managed an even 20mm for the dates, so keeping things wet here.

Certainly amazing to see so much water in store in early July. Just about every big storage statewide except Rocklands is 90% plus. Virtually unprecedented for this time of year.

Gordon

Been down the south-west Vic coast - glad we left ahead of the forecast 7m surf!

Back home, 8.5mm in the gauge in 48 hours to 9am, and a couple of mm since. Wild winds, but not quite as bad as I was expecting.

Gordon

Watching with interest as I have a few days outdoors in far SW Vic from midweek...

Btw, finished June on 91.5mm; ytd 361.5mm
