...................................

And, speaking of rain, does anyone else think that the new BOM website is rubbish?

It felt a little awkward and needlessly complex initially, but over time I've got used to it and it feels quite okay now. I like the fact that you can geek out if you want to, or you can just check the basics.


Likewise, Pauly. Now that I'm used to it I find I can navigate it pretty well.

I was lucky when in the Navy to have a good mate who was a PO MET (Petty Officer, Meteorologist) who taught me lots of little tricks... especially how to understand highs, lows and isobars to understand and even predict future weather.

^^  I tend to rely on willy weather more than anything BOM related.  Its all driven by the same data.   For some reason Willy is better at the winds than BOM is.

I was watering plants I don't want to lose this morning - until the rainwater tank ran dry.  We've had less than 2mm of rain this month and the January mean is 46mm.

Sorry but burning the Australian flag at a protest disgusts me and loses all my respect. The Rent-a-crowd mobs stooped to new lows this year IMO.

Happy Australia to those who love this country and what it is, we are still very fortunate by comparison.

To those who live in constant anger and hate for the place, well you all know my lingo, its class and the eloquence with which I deliver my messages.


Excellent restraint there, GTC. Would your message to those who choose to harm and denigrate our country and its people be something like, FO?  ;D
About as close as fark is to swearing Baggers.
