There was a little statue on our windowsill. Because there was no swaying it didn't fall over but it did do nearly a complete 360 in place.Quote:

Three of the mechanics have been sleeping in the office and lunch room as they can't get home too easily firstly with the floods and now with the landslide on Putty Rd. (Two of them live at Colo and drove up the Putty to Singleton and then down the M1 to come to work - a 4 hour drive! The third also lives on Putty Rd. but he came to work on Sunday before the bridge closed.) Brad lives at Bilpin so would need to travel via Mt. Victoria and the Great Western Hwy - at least 2.5 hours.
The Mickey Dee and Hardly Normal down the freeway from me have just re-opened after our BNE flood. The weather here was cold yesterday, driving around after lunch the D3 was showing 11 and 12 degrees!
Max temp here yesterday was13⁰. [bigsad]
Roads flooded overnight, but not deep enough to close. Still a lot of water laying around the district.
I was quite surprised yesterday when i checked the rain gauge 65mm since the showers started last week was only expecting it to be less than 20mm.
It's 8deg this morning but that wind makes it feel a lot less.
Bogged it-

Poor sods-"Forbes farmer Neil Kingham who has also been forced to replant his crops on three occasions this year"
That must hurt!
Now the New bit? The Rossby wave
What might be amazing to some is the hundreds of places that had More than 100mm of rain last week.
DARKES FOREST (KINTYRE) wins by a country mile with 729mm for the week.
A VERY handy 42mm here overnight, Most welcome indeed [bigrolf]
Ran into my next door neighbour's mother while I was helping my bogged visitor yesterday. She tells me she has the tractor bogged again. I am not going to take mine over there again - last time I ended up with it bogged as well!
The petrichor this morning, heralded the end of the ten day drought.
There's not much in the precipitation, but the breeze if fluctuating between forty and frightening.
I think my transpiration pits have had it... I don't think they've really done their job for months.....and I've rerouted the grey water to avoid continuous soaking.
