How are the NSW members going with the storms ?,looks like Coffs Harbour,Lismore areas are getting a pounding,hope they are'nt too bad.

I'm in the middle of the two and we've had a bit of rain but not too bad and it's just eased off but still rumbles around and meant to get more but really we need it as there's cracks in the back yard that are an inch wide and some over a foot deep..I'll try and get some pic's tomorrow if it's fine

ausjack · November 12, 2013, 09:45:54 AM

well we had another 20 mm and nice steady rain so it got to soak in so the cracks are closing a little :yahoo:
but I did just take a pic's while the sun is out, they go deaper than this as well, just didn't want to loose me ruler :winkextra:

WOW, unreal AJ hope you get more rain,the storms are a bit hit & miss up here too.
Ipswich had a bad storm 2 nights ago,ripped roofs off houses & caused plenty of other damage,the next small town to us had 40mm & we got 2mm but we're nowhere near as dry as you so fingers crossed things get better this week.
They are saying storms again this arvo/tonight,tomorrow & Thursday as well.

Heavy storms all around us but just passing us by. We are getting the wind but not the precipitation. Most frustrating when rain really needed.
I look at the weather radar and see all the red/orange zones nearby and have, several times, watched the rain falling just a few km from where I stand to get a good view out.

Yeah I hear ya Jeff as that's what we've had for months on end but we had more today and a BIG storm this arvo with another 20mm and you can see the bloody grass growing already

Tis raining again right now, nice and steady so it soaks in :good: But not too much as I want to get more done and I know it will send the humdity through the roof :heat:

You couldn't have said truer words AJ .... even my sweat is sweating!

But in saying that, the rain has been brilliant!!!! Still over the moon about it. Tanks are on the brim, dam is full, river is flowing ..... geez the grass might actually grow now (actually it is already). :yahoo:

Jeff, hopefully your's won't be too far away!

ausjack · November 13, 2013, 02:06:46 PM

Gee ya can't pic it here ATM as it was nice and warm five mins ago and now it's bloody raining again so I think it's time for a noodle while I wait :whistle2:

Your sweat was sweating? You're lucky. This morn our temp was +6 F (-15 C)....somewhat cool.

Unicorn · November 13, 2013, 04:14:32 PM

Yes, in comparison, we are very lucky indeed -15 C would be a shocker! What temp does it come up to?

Not much more than that here, mate.

Bloody spring came and went already.. all two days of it.. Grrrrrr.

accumulator · November 13, 2013, 10:55:26 PM

Absolutely bucketing down here right now.

ausjack · November 22, 2013, 09:35:24 PM

sorry bad pic but this is a little of what we had the other day, just glad it wasn't cricket ball size like some places

Unicorn · November 23, 2013, 10:46:47 AM

Phew AJ, ours was a similar size, though not as much as yours.

It still sent me running out in the thunder and rain with blankets to cover the car!

ausjack · November 23, 2013, 11:06:17 AM

spewin the grass was so long 'cause there's more that's hiding, yeah not real fond of the old hail storm but we don't get anything like when I was a kid and the late arvo storms would roll in and the gutter would be chocka and the hole place look like it had been snowed on but that was many many moons ago, oh the memories when I can remember them :laugh2:

I'll come for a visit uni and build ya a lean too
