Re: Victoria - Tropical rain event - February 2nd-8th 2010

Total for me (in Vermont) was 66.5+98.5+4.0 = 169mm

Just missed out on 100mm on Saturady, thought about getting the hose out!

84mm here in Vermont on my automatic. Melbourne water's Heathmont river aws has 72. I'd guess the most significant rainfall event here this year,

Re: Victoria: Rain/storm event - 6th-10th December 2010 (Obs

I've found out why the Yarrawonga radar often, like now, shows a stationary light rain band overheard. Basically it false echo's due to it being a C Band radar. For the BOM Victorian Radar Site Information on the Yarrawonga radar. "False echoes can be sometimes observed very close to the radar ...
