Come to Sydney!!
No I'm kidding, really.

Isn't always the way when it comes to observing. It is either a glut or famine. Worst, why is it always when some good event is on I.e. The Jupiter Polar Crunch (JPC) (copyright pending!)
However, in Melbourne and the surrounds I would have thought water in the dams would have been the priority. Wouldn't it be nice if the cloud and rain could be concentrated over the dams and clear everywhere else.
Hope all you Melbourites soon have a change of fortune - perhaps when the weather warms up!
