To rub the lemon juice into the stab wound, the entire state is covered in Melbourne cloud
Tomorrow the forecast says "sunny", although I'm sure it'll cloud up right on sunset as it always does, as the forecast for thursday is already cloudy and ofcourse for the whole week thereafter
you know it's bad when there is wall to wall cloud and rain forecast during full moon

I think I may have to go online and use one of those remote telescopes, it is becoming way to frustrating weather wise.
Weeeellll well well, just as I predicted, a whole stack of cloud is tearing into Victoria at supersonic speed, crossing the SA border at 14:30, just in time to reach Melbourne by nightfall 7Timer backs up my theory, showing full overcast from midnight thru till 22:00 Thursday.
Last night was a bit cloudy (understatement for the Melburnians) with no wind at ground level. A few thousand metres up was another thing.
This is six stacked frames taken through what was the closest I saw to a hole, each 0.1sec with total elapsed time about 3 seconds. The clouds are aligned, not the Moon or Jupiter.
had lots of stupid ugly drizzle for days now, Melbourne style.
Continual overcast for the last several nights now. No wonder I've been smashed for those last several nights.
I hope summer is extremely hot and sunny everyday for months on end, hopefully we get several 40-45C days. I don't want to see any rain or damn cloud for hundreds of days on end.
Nothing less will compensate for this hellhole of a winter
IYA2009 = cloudiest year on record (unless ofcourse if you live in Sydney, where its been the sunniest and warmest winter on record as per usual)
i feel your pain mate, but there are others less fortunate than you. try being an amateur astronomer from the UK, i come from a place where it rains .... 300+ days of the year.

And yet has less total rain than Sydney - 1200mm vs 760mm. Melbourne is even drier with only 650mm rain per year. Cloud is another matter. For Sydney the number of 'officially' clear days and cloudy days are 103 and 133 respectively while Melbourne is 49 and 179.
The difference is Melbourne gets hundreds of days of insipid ugly drizzle year round, which amounts to next to nothing while Sydney (aka heat,sun and storm capital of the universe) gets its rainfall from heavy showers and thunderstorms
Melbourne is analogous to Scotland while Sydney is a carbon copy of Tunisia

In Melbourne it's cloudy 365^9999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999 days a year
It cant get worse than this, it really cant. Even my grandma from Hungary who was here from December to June noticed the crap overcast weather here.
What makes it worse is that this crummy year, Sydney would have a hell of alot more clear skies and us here in Hell would have a hell of alot more cloudy skies.
International Year of Astronomy......I think I'm gonna hurl.
Some might say it matches the residents .... but I wouldn't be so cruel.
Some might say that the residents' mood are a direct product of the evil insipid drizzly grey british weather here. While people in Sydney and Bribane frolick in Bikinis and shorts in the sunshine, we are stuck in trench coats and hoodies like the grim reaper under lead skies and drizzle
Lemon Juice and salt rubbed into flayed skin? This is much worse.
I can't even get a photo of me & my scope for Omaroos compendium.
It's bloody raining all the time.
I might just have to set it all up in the rain and get a pic with an umberella.
Jeezzzzzz
