An extremely light misty shower here atm, though the adjacent coast around Kurnell has had a lot more, the oil refinery has been blotted out various times throughout the morning. Obs Hill still sitting on the big fat zero, but should get something on Friday by the look of it.

Still a good chance it will miss Obs hill looks like its breaking up a bit over the CBD. if Obs hill can escape this shower than there are no more chances until end next week.
I was down at Circular Quay at around 13:30 this afternoon and there were a number of moderate bursts of rain, enough to get me wet and to make people run for cover anyway! I would be surprised if only 0.4mm is registered at Obs Hill, looked to be a good few mm's in it.

Not a single drop of rain for here. Might be waiting a while for some. Dry spell has started. This sucks.

For the 12 hours up to about 5-6pm today the radar showed a constant production line of showers forming to the south east of Sydney. These then moved either north or north-west into the metropolitan area. It looked like a blitzkrieg to which the Obs Hill rain gauge finally succumbed at around half four this afternoon.

Not a single drop of rain for here. Might be waiting a while for some. Dry spell has started. This sucks. I hear you. And our last big rain event fizzed to almost nothing. It's dry. I seem to be escaping the worst of the frosts, elevation and wind most likely, the cold rolls down the hill like water. Some small nasturtiums that were evidently in the path of it got melted, but those in raised beds are still hanging on, the tops are all burned but it seems that the cold stuff doesn't stay long enough to do significant damage. And a huge cosmos plant, the bottom sections of it are burned where the cold air has rolled past, but the tops where the flowers are are fine. Rest of the garden is showing the effects though, looking very stark and wintery. and yet on the deck, I have Jasmine flowers coming out, some Banksia Rose flowers, and there's buds on the Clematis. Weird. These are spring flowers. 6-something this morning and a cloud-fog.

This mornings frost is Walcha's 17th in a row.Average about -3.5 That's amazing, Ron. Not quite as cold in Armidale. It was -1.5C this morning, we have had 8 consecutive frosts, and 16 frosts for the month so far. Average min for the month up to this morning is -0.6C.

I'm going to try and get up to Walcha this winter to experience one of your frosts, preferably on a morning approaching -10C. The way this winter is going it looks like there'll be plenty of opportunities in June and July. Can Ron or anyone else recommend a good place to stay?
The Kirrawee weather station near me scored a drought breaking 1 mm yesterday, probably a little less right here as we were right on the edge of the showers. Blue sky was visible to the west most of the time, with late sunshine after 4.

Had me a nice little storm roll through buladelah tonight at work,. had one cell roll through with some heavy rain and some nice thunder around 8pm,.. and a quick radar check got me moving double time on the mop..finishing just in time to enjoy a nasty lil cell that just skirted the northern edge of town just after 830pm, had a really nice CG's and crawlers (first crawlers ive seen in almost a year) then followed up with heavier rain then the first cell and a fair amount of pea hail in the mix. Enjoyed the light show for the drive home and sat on the beach watching it flicker away like mad  not bad for a sneaky little storm!

Bit of lightning off the coast last night, storm withdrawal syndrome had me stuck to it with the long lens, nothing too decent unfortunately due to the distance.  0122-003 by davebassjunkie, on Flickr

I saw a flash last night and figured I was seeing things, it was clear here, but perhaps we got a reflection. It was quite pronounced, too.
