Are you all ready for the next drought?

Normal programming resumes.

11mm in the gauge this morning (no spider). Still light rain. This brings our total for this event to 28mm over three days., which is not going to restore subsoil moisture or put any water in the dams. There has been no significant runoff - river height is unchanged at less than 0.5m at the gauge near here, but was totally dry (well, since it was raining it was wet, but no visible water in the bed of the river) where I crossed it at Ballimore on Sunday.

Still no rain here,nothing forecast for the next 7 days.
Seeing lots of frosty mornings.-5 is the best yet.
Water dont like flowing thru the pipes when it gets that cold.

Only 12mm here in Yass over the weekend but 36mm about 60Km North at the farm, happy with that.

Another four millimetres in the gauge this morning. Not much considering it has rained for 24hrs.

Nothing here except cold westerly winds drying everything out.And frosts.

But we do need a bit of a break from the rain so i can get a bit done outside
