Petros Weatherzone Addict Registered: 30/12/2002 Loc: Inverloch Vic	No thunder or hail here, gusty SW'ly was a nuisance but overly remarkable - we did manage 4.5mm rain pretty much to model consensus. Seems the brunt of this secondary event for this thread has focused on Melb/Far W Gippsland? We touched 20C this morning before things went colder. The ABC radio certainly acknowledged that the vent was significant for Melb commuters this arvo (lucky it was a holiday week!).

Had a nice view of this mornings work charging up the bay and out towards the Macedon Ranges. It reminded me a lot of the fronts crossing the SW coast of WA in winter but less wet. Lucked out at lunch time and got drenched. Once you got out of the wind the sun was quite nice this afternoon. Felt quite mild on the way home.

Lindsay Knowles Moderator Registered: 18/01/2003 Loc: Pakenham Victoria's Storm Capi...	What an insane day. I have been fishing up on the Snowy River up the back of Buchan chasing mega Bass and spent last night at Briag. I had to drop Robbie back to Wang and we were going to go through Licola and Jamison but at the last minute decided to go through Dargo and come out at Hotham. Great last minute decision as we got snowed on at a nice open spot at 1622 mtrs. It was an amazing sight seeing big snow flakes falling at this time of the year. Up until this point there had been no rain. We continued along the road and when we got to the Great Alpine Road we had to head up to Hotham. I could not believe my eyes. It was snowing just under 1400 mtrs and when we got to just over 1800mtrs it was like a blizzard. How exciting it was to see so much snow sitting on the ground and we had a ball up there. I have posted a pic and video on Facebook and will put up some more video footage tomorrow. Summer in crazy Victoria

I was in shorts a tshirt and wearing thongs so I wasnt all that keen on getting out of the car although I did to take a couple of pics.

Petros Weatherzone Addict Registered: 30/12/2002 Loc: Inverloch Vic	Yep great choice Loo (I'm glad I wasnt up there on my motorbike). Picked up one of the kids from the Prom today, several brief showers about down that way bouncing between 15.5 - 19C between the showers and the odd sunny patch, SW wind very much abated but ocean still upset. Lots of peeved campers and empty camping spots (next week would be a great time to make a "last minute decision trip" to go camping down there!). By Sunday it will be the best spot in Australia again. 21.4C here today, cloudy with moderate SW'ly, baro peaked at 1019 hPa but starting to fall again (dunno why it would)? 0.25mm trace in the gauge brings us to circa 8mm for the system although the stong winds would have left us way in rain deficit (not so for Sale - the've done well).
