Nevertheless, I have been busy given I have been doing quite a few things including the wedding. And of course, just to make matters worse, the Kellyville experience ... http://www.australiansevereweather.com.au/blog_wordpress/2008/09/03/339/ Quite a nice hailstorm yesterday afternoon at my place. Stones were only up to 1cm but there was a fair quantity amongst some torrential rain. A few very close lightning bolts hit nearby. Hail also occurred at Ballina and Lennox Head. Instability remains but it is a lot cooler today - ... http://www.australiansevereweather.com.au/blog_wordpress/2008/08/28/338/ Hi Jimmy - can't believe a month has passed since last writing on here - where did August go?   It sure has been a cold month though as you would expect not too bad here on the North Coast apart from frost in the valleys. No snow chases for me ... http://www.australiansevereweather.com.au/blog_wordpress/2008/08/27/337/ Michael, Time has been passing by rapidly with the wedding preparations well underway. The excitement is building and it should be an excellent day for us. Imelda, Kimberly and I are doing well and Kim has settled into the school doing tons of homework - she loves school! Her English is ... http://www.australiansevereweather.com.au/blog_wordpress/2008/08/25/336/ Michael, I can understand the 'frustrations' of organising meeting material and the time taken. I am pretty sure some appreciate them but don't show it - others may be too ignorant to pass on such a simple word "Thanks". As to weather, today was coooollllldddd. This morning killed my hands which is rare for ... http://www.australiansevereweather.com.au/blog_wordpress/2008/07/23/335/ Lovely mild days continue this 'winter' with low 20s expected again today. The weekend was pretty much perfect for the last days of the NSW school holidays.  We have not used the heater at all this cool season which seems a bit unusual.  Cloud is building up over QLD as ... http://www.australiansevereweather.com.au/blog_wordpress/2008/07/21/334/ Hi Jimmy, Hope Imelda and Kimberley are settling in well. Would be quite a culture shock for many things no doubt. At least the weather has been a bit milder this past several days though nothing like back home ! Last week's cold and snow extending up to the Northern Tablelands ... http://www.australiansevereweather.com.au/blog_wordpress/2008/07/16/333/ Michael, The dual Filipinas arrived Friday morning and came through about an hour after the plan arrived. It was definitely a relief and now life stage two has begun. Very much enjoying being with both Imelda and Kim. Kim is also enjoying it here and loves playing with Sally - our ... http://www.australiansevereweather.com.au/blog_wordpress/2008/07/09/332/ Hi Jimmy - only a few hours to go now before Imelda and Kimberley will be there - the long wait is almost over ! Does it seem like a year since you first met ? Weather looks set to become interesting early next week with a cut-off low and trough system to ... http://www.australiansevereweather.com.au/blog_wordpress/2008/07/03/331/ Michael, Just under a week to go before the couple arrive onto Australian soil. It still seems like an eternity. I can probably stand waiting more for a tornado than waiting for Imelda and Kim to arrive. Oh well - the time will come. Obviously the few things high on the ... http://www.australiansevereweather.com.au/blog_wordpress/2008/06/28/330/
