You're not wrong Wes, had another 6mm overnight to bring total to 12.5mm for the event. Not too bothered if we get more, but expecting possibly 20-30 more over the next few days - as others have said, GFS has been bang on so far, no reason why it should be wrong for next part of sequence...

The radar is looking ominous with all that widespread light stuff. The humidity is awful, something's got to give surely the heavens are about to open up all over the place.
Kinda disagree, 35 mm since yesterday morning, its barely stopped but barely gotten heavy either. Seems like that over this side anyway.
Agree with wobbie. It seems to be localised here. We have had 15mm for this event with most of that falling on Tuesday and we are 20mins from Gembrook. It would be very boring if we all had the same thing to report

I'll let you know how much we've had here in about 40mins.
Spoke to Stormybloke, 12mm in the manual gauge (weather station is stuffed again...) since he last checked it, but had 14.5mm for the year so far.
The rain continues in Flinders, 21C and had 25mm here since 9am yesterday. I guess it's another day playing Monoploy or Cluedo...
And quite possibily another 100mm to come that way next 48 hours which would pass it half way their annual average already for 2011 2 weeks into the Year

It has been a more western event yeah...65mm here and constant. Nothin local about it from about 30km west of the cbd
Closing in on 100 mm for the event here: another 46 mm to 9am & a further 10.5 mm since. GFS of a couple of days ago doesn't seem so outlandish any more!
101mm for Horsham and 134mm Mt William and with all the downstream lakes 100% , GMW water will have a job on its hands. They will probably stuff it up again
Yep AV, could get very messy by mid arvo if we get some clearance. Bit of a convergence band running almost N-S from Ballarat-Swanhill, worth watching. Macallums Ck here just under 3m now, was only 45cm high yesterday arvo, risen around 2.5m overnight.
52mm here for the 24hr to 9am this morning. 48mm of that overnight. Not quite the 161mm that Jeparit got but certainly starting to see the potential of this system translate into results. Hopefully no Toowoomba like stories coming from the Grampians and Wimmera regions today, I haven't checked the news.
