Definately good to see
Both my brothers had dry dams .I was talking to my oldest brother this morning and most of his are now close to full and one is overflowing
It is good to see more widespread rain this time around
Who said cyclones are bad things
As long as you arent under them I suppose

We had 42.5mm from sundown Christmas eve too sunup boxing day it was very welcome. the little creek past my house is running again it had stoped a month ago, the last fiew years it's been stoping earlier each year which is a bit of a worry. A wet Christmas day was relaxing as we knew we could eat and drink and not be worried about bushfires which sadly ruined many family Christmases in the district in the week before.

Default Today's weather

This forum has a wild assortment of characters logging on and sharing their stories. Catching up on some updated thread is the most interesting part of my day. I guess our weather is much the same. I include some photos.....of what we have awoken to in the last two days..... I live a few miles away from the notorious Hammond Barn. Enjoy.

Yesterday was one of the hotest I've tried to work in. It was 40C in the coolest part of my side varandah added to that the heat of the wind and it was almost unbearable to ride the motorbike around the paddocks . When the wind dropped around 17:00 I went spraying and the blitz fired up instantly with no choke and it was parked in an open front shed.

We have untypical winter weather this year. Since X-mas the temperatures are around freezing with a large part of The Netherlands covered in snow. Although it is only a thin layer in places, it stays! Typically, if and when we have snow, it melts instantly or thaws away in 1 - 2 days.

See how beautiful Holland can be here: http://www.foto-digitaal.nl/2009/12/...euwfotos-2009/

It makes me remember George Blackburn's description of a winter spent near Groesbeek...
