Right smack under it here in Macedon, really loud thunder and a lotta lightning over the last hour or so. Looked like about 7mm in the gauge as i ran inside from work. Still steadily raining now. Nice and cool too.

Steady thunder here, wish the radar was back so I knew what is coming. Skies are black and temp is dropping. Have to go back to work soon too.
Re: VIC Trough, Heat, Showers, Thunderstorms, etc Feb 15-19

Looks like I will be watering the garden tonight, very little chance of anything down here as usual.

Bloody frustrating with this damn radar not working. I need to make plans to get home as I'm on the bike.

If you look at the national radar there is storms pretty much the entire length of the trough now. From Melbourne all the way up in to the NT!

Some CC's and rumbles here and somewhere between 0.0 and 0.1mm so far.

Who knows. Looks like the storm is extending pretty fast down south.Dane » Thu Feb 16, 2012 4:07 pm wrote:Dane wrote:Looks like I will be watering the garden tonight, very little chance of anything down here as usual.
