Well this weekend will be the 19th weekend in a row that its rained here in sunny Tas :p

Makes it a bit hard to mow the lawns when the grass is wet and halfway up your knees :(

But it's good to see all the dams full, water lying in the paddocks and having the Gorge flood for a solid 3 weeks :)

Hope the rain spreads north to break your droughts :)

Damn right you should be hoping it comes north!! Sunshine is nice and all, but a bit of rain (or a lot) would be nice for a change in parts of the mainland.

You better start filling sandbags; those icecaps might start melting if you keep having weather like that :wasntme:

Speaking of Hobart, I'll be down tomorrow on field service. Whats the bet it rains :angel:


I hear you've had lots of rain down there...more than the norm ;)

Yeh we've had heaps, last I heard Great Lake had gone up 4.2m :o and that was a fortnight ago

There has been plenty of rain here in Horsham. I have been adjusting doors and locks as the house moves!

We had a nice little storm last night that dropped 16mm on us, so we are happy :D I hear you've had lots of rain down there...more than the norm ;)

Had a nice little storm here last night as well - pitch black at 5:45, I was out walking and was on the highest ridge around here, full of iron stone. Must say I was a little nervous, plenty of lightning around as well. At least the rain held of until I was about 400m from home, but then it let loose with hail as well. :eek::eek:

We got just under a inch over the weekend, then topped up with a short, sharp storm yesterday enening.
