26mm for the event at Doncaster East (@ 1730hrs).
Tipped out 77mm from the gauge up here at Lake Eildon (gauge last emptied on Sunday).
Plenty of surface water between Coldstream and Healesville and then from the Spur to Eildon itself.
All rivers flowing nice and hard but should stay under minor flood levels.
Looking forward to seeing the lake tomorrow morning! 8-)

Small pea sized hail at Camberwell East! Delivered by a short, sharp shower.

Man the wind here is insane, I was just clipped by a coldie and the squall that came with it was literally a roar. The coldies forming W of Tassie as Karl mentioned are going to be crackers with loads of hail in them and snow for the people in the hills. Just hope one passes over you!!!

Awesome news about the snow falling already Jane, do you know the stats for snow in October for your area?

Nice WC!! I think with hail shower that just passed and the heavy rain falling here, judging by the fogged up windows, that that snow line is going to drop quickly in the coming hour or two.

1mm in about 2mins here with that and now steady rain.

Not much chance of snow here now. Tell tale signs on radar already that we are in for a very dry night. Maybe a shower or two later tomorrow here when the coldest air has passed.

Well bloody freezing here now and clear so hoping the wind keeps up to stop the frost from coming down. Ended up with 19mm for the second event so ended up with 35mm for the week. Ideal moisture now and enough for us now. Anything now will be bonus

Down to 3.3c with continuing showers. It generally needs to be under 2.5 here for slush so we might get there yet!

Well, I'm having my first pure hail coldie, no rain in it, they're small but noisy. I think the snow line will be very low tonight if we're have straight up hail in Richmond. Temp here down to 6.8c

Chris and Steve, you guys must be absolutely freezing up there on Mt Dandenong. It's sooooooooooo cold here in Ferny Creek and we've had some graupel. Think I'll head to bed soon so I can be up early to photograph the snow :)

Just saw on the news a dam is threatening to collapse some ways out of Wagga, sorry forgot the name of the town.

it is cold, but I love it!

Seems to have subsided for now, but looks there is a little more on the way coming up across the peninsular... :D :D

Steve - were you in a big white landcruiser with lots of lights???
