We got a little light to medium rain for a few hours, the grounds is so dry though it really didn't do much at all. I think we need a good few weeks worth of rain, during the day of course and then clearing for the evenings. At the moment there are a lot of strong winds passing through.
We had very strong winds here in Albury all last night then we had a quick down pour sometime early this morning but only damped the lawn until the sun broke through.
Well I have to say we aint flooding, but it sure is green around the place.
Over the range to the west is where it all starts to get serious. I've only
had to water the garden 2-3 times over the last maybe 6 weeks. all the
tanks are fill.

All the best to all in 2007! hope you have a fun and safe Xmas
What an unusual thread of comments for an astro forum!
Just goes to show how seriously bad the drought is!
We've had nothing yet... hopefully it's coming.
You know it's a serious drought when astronomers are preying for rain! (mind you with the cloud and smoke we've had lately, it would've been good if it was raining).

Unusually? Really?
The weather's every bit as valid a topic as cricket... christmas, fishing or The Thing... don't you think, Al.
Probably more so, given the impact it has on our hobby?
It is, after all, the General area of IIS
So.. let's keep those reports of rain rollin' in. It makes me feel good to hear it's raining. Somewhere
Now I know where all our wet season rain has gone from Gove
Great to see you folks getting some rain, you sure need it
We have had about 100mm for the month so far, but with some nice clear "Observing patchs" in between !
