A bit stormy

The gods are certainly angry down here tonight, no observing tonight.

That's pretty impressive. In a bad way of course (unless you like storm photography?)

So long as they are getting plenty up on the Monaro, they need it more than we do down here on the coast.

There is a pretty impresive light show going on at the moment,

Tis a good little program Chris.

Rained a bit here as well over the last 24 hours, we could do with a month of weather like that.

Still looking pretty wild.

Hi John, looks like Merimbula copped a bit as well. That will keep all the new plants I put in happy.

Ken,

I don't mind the clouds when we are getting good rain out of them

Close to 150mm so far since 1700 last night.

Cheers
