I think it would be a good idea if we all took the time to respond to the
BoM questionnaire today.  It will be a good platform for us to air our
praises and concerns and have them heard.  I've already responded in detail.

That's great BoM. Any idea on how long it will last completely funded
by the Australian taxpayer instead of cost-recovery subscription?

Thanks Don, those northern beaches are always a hot spot for heavy rain when
it hugs the coast.

I had to drive to Sydney on both Wednesday and Thursday mornings and there
was some very heavy rain along parts of the F6 freeway, real hit or miss
showers.

Hi everyone,
	The Bureau of Meteorology is offering warnings and forecasts by
e-mail as a trial service.  What do people think of the idea of
subscribing the "Aussie-Weather" mailing list to this new, trial service?
	What do you think Jacob?

I dont have a problem with it personally, but this list is very active as
it is, and some may not want extra emails, plus I wouldnt know how the BoM
offers their emails forecasts, it could only be for one city per email, and
if we asked for every city to be sent on this list that would mean quite a
few extra emails a day with all the updates throughout the day.  I'm also
not sure (dave in Boston, USA would know) if this list would allow itself
to be on another list.

Please don't....

If you want them - do it with your personal email address - like I will be.

Hi every1,
Sounds great, if you have access to email all day.
It sounds like a great start!
Kevin.

Hi every1,
Well... so much for my local knowledge forecast.
I thought yesterday that we'd be lucky to get 5mm but at about 1 p.m. 
local it started bucketing down!
Then we got some local thunder (we heard it distinctly in my Year 10 
class) and I started to sweat on some hail. (None reported however).
Final result (as at 10.30 p.m. local) about 9 mm. (and if you think 
that's not very far from 5 mm. then you've never explained it to wheat 
farmers in the process of stripping crops!)
No observable lightning. Wind was quite strong for about 30 - 45 minutes 
but never got above thirty knots.
Thankfully, (and god bless the BOM for free radar today!) I could see it 
clearing by about 3 p.m. local.
Quite cool ( c. 17 C) at the minute and not much breeze.
Hope it's more interesting elsewhere. :))

Yours,
Kevin Phyland.

Just a quick question...
I've noticed that there are only two ranges of radar available in 
Australia - 256 x 256, and 1024 x 1024 km.
My question is this...
If radar can only 'see' 256 km. from the source (and I'm assuming that 
the radar is straight-line, and can't account for curvature of the 
Earth) then how accurate is it (i.e. at what heights) at the 256 km. 
limit?
It only occurred to me today that Wycheproof just happens to be about 
256 km. from both Mildura and Melbourne. 
Are we in a radar 'hole'?
I'm assuming that the 1024 x 1024 km. pictures are composites, but I'm 
still quite curious.
Any thoughts?

Kevin from Wycheproof.
