Cold and Snow – Now July Heat

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Headed up to the Northern Tablelands last Wednesday (15th July) to intercept some snowfalls across the region. A very large cold pool brought scattered storm clouds across NSW. Some of these managed to produce snow on higher ground between Guyra and Glen Innes. The best falls were at Ben Lomond (where I was) where snow depth got to about 6cm or more by the next morning.

All photos for the two days are here:

In contrast to the snow and cold, this week has seen widespread temperatures in the mid 20s. Looks like it will get to 25 today after 24 the past two days.

NSW North Coast Floods – Lismore Flood Pictures

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

Things are slowly returning to normal after major flooding throughout the North Coast the past few days.

The worst locally for me was on Thursday night when wild winds and torrential rain hit – on top of 150mm of rain received the previous 24 hours. We lost power for almost 24 hours and the phone line is still dead. The amount of tree debris from the low pressure systems was amazing – certainly the most I’ve seen around here.

I took some photos on the 21 and 22 May 2009 – in and around Lismore – where the flood levee once again protected most of the CBD from inundation. Another hour of heavy rain on that Thursday night and it would have over-topped.
