Michael,
Yes school is back and so am I! I begin work shortly and get back into the routine. And I guess some more stories to boot haha.
It has been a pathetic season stormwise thus far in terms of intensity or locality I guess so basically we should see what the second season brings forth. Humid [...]

Hi Jimmy - well the school holidays are over and things are back to ‘normal’. Kids were looking forward to school (mostly) and Alison has been into preperation work for her class for many days already. Back to quiet at home for me. Spent most of the Australia Day weekend away from the PC with [...]

Michael,
You hit the nail on the head with the cooler than average temperure concept. In fact, I personally cannot recall a summer with so many relatively cool maximum temperatures as this summer for such an extended period of time! Yes I know we had a few episodes of heat but it is infrequent. Usually by [...]

Hi Jimmy, already a month since Chrsitmas - January sure has flown. It continues to be a month with below average temps and plenty of cloud and isolated showers. Almost every day this month has had rain.
The models were tipping some thunderstorms within range of the Northern Rivers by the end of the week but [...]

Michael,
Yes the photographs were impressive for the flood event so the video would have been impressive as well - animals running around in the water - it would have certainly brought out the seriousness and scale of such a disaster.
We have finally begun with some rain including a couple of severe storm events and both [...]

Hi Jimmy,
We are now on day 20 of consecutive rain days - of course many of those have not had much but still quite an impressive run. I’m not sure I’ve come close to that many in a row before. It has totalled about 440mm with the major flooding in that lot. I attended an ASWA [...]

Michael,
thanks for the well wishes and yes the Department of Immigration instructions to me are very ambiguous and that concerned me as well. I have complained or I guess provided feedback - we simply would like to be together sooner than later. It tears into your heart to think that some panel is deciding your [...]

Hi Jimmy, great news things are progressing with Imelda. Chatting to you yesterday and seeing the confusing wording on the Department of Immigration website is concerning. Hopefully there are no delays with the application or the way it is sent ! You’d think it would be clear given the number of applications that must be [...]

Michael,
I certainly have followed what was going on though I am surprised at the extent of the rainfall that has fallen in the region! It is hard to imagine that some have received more rainfall in a few days we receive in a whole year on average. Incredible. The images you have taken certainly can’t [...]

Hi Jimmy, finally getting on top of things following the major flooding in the area since Friday. We copped about 400mm from the event though some places near the NSW/QLD border have received over 1000mm of rain. The extraordinary part of this event was the incredible rainfalls Friday night through the Tweed and Upper Richmond [...]
