Aye, I've got the tracky daks on for the first time since September.

Crikey, I've only just seen footage of the aftermath of the Bundaberg floods. Lordy, houses swept off their stumps. Shocked

Time for some decent flood protection, one would think.

Meanwhile, more fires and more homes under threat in Tassie.

We didn't get any snow at all. Just icy windscreens. I wanted my grandchildren to see snow for the first time.

Really sunny and warm now. 12 degrees yesterday.

Was -3 when I went out this morning... heard snow's on the way. Dreaded.

We have continued to have bushfires and today was the first day in about ten which didn't reach thirty degrees but it is hotting up again from tomorrow.

That heinous North Wind.

Freezing cold at night but clear sunny days for the last few days, almost Spring like. Makes you feel like we've turned the corner then they forecast snow again. The gits!

by lardbucket Tue 19 Feb 2013, 20:32

still 'hot as' over this side ... 30+ in Tassie on several days recently, and neither of the big fires are quite 'out' ... more hot weather forecast for the weekend on ABC this am.

We did get some rain yesterday am - which was very welcome. A thunderstorm really, not at Queensland standards, but as good as we get down here.

by horace Tue 19 Feb 2013, 23:32

nice in melb for the past 24 hours...due to heat up again tho

by horace Tue 26 Feb 2013, 01:13

finally some solid rain in melb...sounds like the Chips will be soggy for a while with 8 inches of rain predicted in SEQueensland

The superintendant from Lost Farm told me the other week that they are pumping 2 megalitres a day into the course. To put that into some perspective, the primary on course dam at RQ holds 3 megalitres.

Isn't this where a certain Vile Vomit comes in whinging about Global Warming?? Wink

by horace Wed 15 Oct 2014, 02:29

which one ...there are 5 million of us..

btw I note publication of a study showing sea levels have risen 20cm in the past 150 years after 6000 years of stability

after Putin and the MM punch each other in the guts they'll become mates and find they are the only two leaders who thinks humans do not impact climate change

by skully Wed 15 Oct 2014, 02:58

Some interesting weather about at the moment. The Cyclone near FiJi caused one of the worlds biggest cruise ships to make an unscheduled stop in Hobart.
