Rain

You NSW and QLD folk getting any falls tonight from that nice big cloud mass streaming down from the north?

We're forecast to get some heavier rain for Wednesday and Thursday. Maybe a few showers tomorrow.

Rain here for the next day or two and then a week of clear weather by the look of it. Windy but sunny

About time!

just as it should be TOO

we have had enough here on the coast

but then we don't want too much up RB's way either - i don't think he gets round to teaching them chickens to swim

have placed your order for those items Dave - should hear more to-morrow about when they will be here

Welcome to Qld, beautiful one day, still raining the next. I just hope the dams are getting the rain they need.

Can't be my fault. I haven't taken delivery of anything serious for weeks now.

I was told we were gonna get snow on Wednesday! Dunno how thats gonna work if its coming from the north! Maybe a cold blast coming up as well from the SW?

We got about a half inch of snow last Wednesday in town in Walcha!

I haven't had any clear skies worth noting for weeks!

Hey 1ponders....maybe your suppliers should sell you a rubber dinghy with your purchases? hehe, that way you can keep your equipment out of the water when it comes!!!!

Nice, soaking rain in Brisbane all night long and continuing this morning. Not sure if it is reaching the dam catchment areas. The dams are down to 18% combined levels, with some only at 13% full.

Cheers

Dennis

Nice that you're getting rain. We've got rain for the next 2-3 days as well.. more withdrawals. It will be July before I get to image again.. 1 whole month without imaging.. serious withdrawals.

Berts lenses arrived yesterday, this is what it was like lastnight and today.
It better clear up soon, I've only 8 days left to observe/image. I'd better get back to the virtual bubblewrap, release some tension. LOL

Whew! So it's your fault! I thought the God of Astronomical Punishments was getting an early start on me.


At least the dams will be getting a top up.

We've had 28mm and it's still pouring down.

50mm for the month, which is close to our average.
