RAIN !!!

yesssssssssssssssssss

STREWTH!!!!! Was camped down in the SE area of Dwellingup and this morning is started getting a bit dark and then the temp suddenly dropped. Pull finger! - time to go. We were down a 100m of very steep rutted track and if we left it even a bit later we'd still be there now and for days to come. No way of getting out without a winch.

Naturally commonsense prevailed so we did the only safe thing and promptly went straight to the nearest pub for a counter lunch. On the trip back down to the coastal plains we were down to 50m max visibility and the scarp was in full, thick cloud. That rain was HEAVY. Torrents of muddy water and sticks and stuff flowing across the roads.

On channel 40 there was plenty of swearing going on as truckies were having problems with car drivers freaking out and just stopping in the middle of the road.

Yes it is coming down in bucket loads, glad we are at the top of the hills!!!!!!!!!

Good for the gardens and hopefully will soak into the ground a little.

Cheers

Hi All,
Weren't all the Easter campers lucky. Usually starts to p#ss down on the Sunday night and continues on to midday Monday. Perfect for packing up tents and such like.

It has been drizzling almost constantly here (WA South Coast) all day with some heavy showers in between.

Not sorry to see the rain, we sure need it everywhere.

I am very envious.
Good luck to you all.

We have had 10mm in the last two months in what is usually our "wet" season. We have had 70mm all year. Normally in January we get that in a week.

I know you guys need it but pleeeease send some over to the non-coastal eastern cities.

I know it will rain again...... sometime........hopefully????????

Cheers (or tears) Cam

Spent the w/end down at Marg Rv. Drive home today was wet all the way. Nth Dandalup was the heaviest almost hard enough to force me to stop. 20mm plus so far.

Just started here at Gero. 21:10 to be exact. Not much in it though. I hope we get more.

Morning Doug

Just after daylight here in Tamworth - Monday morning. I am planning to work outside today but as I left home to go to the office - this strange stuff (clear and tasteless) starting falling from the sky. No idea what it might be but know I have not seen it before (or if I have the Oldtimers has helped me forget LOL) Unfortunately it is just a passing shower with no substance. "It will rain one of these days" - glad somewhere is getting wet anyway.

Cheers

Safe travels Doug,

Poor old Keepit Dam is at about 3% at the moment, Splitrock ( a new puddle finished in mid 80's north of Manilla) is the same and Chaffey (town water supply) is at 16% - we go onto level 5 restrictions at 15%.

Cheers

Nothing unusal in Perth, after moving there I couldnt believe the wraps the weather got (supposedly) I found it to be a darn cold place especially in the evenings and it rained more often than ive seen for a while
