Blair & all,
 
I noticed that Rutherglen got down to -4.1C at 7am this morning & then warmed <g> to -3.5C at 8am, while at 8am Mt Hotham was
-0.7C.
 
Any records broken last night? Wonder what winter will be like if this is **only** autumn........(well just)

Hi Michael, Trust me - plenty of heaters up here!!! The main thing I think is the moisture (or lack of) in winter. Even though we're a fair distance north, the dry air means minimums can really drop, especially with the SW'ly winds. Daytime temps are normally in the low 20s...that's the main thing, we tend to get a little warmer than say Sydney during the day. Night time it is similar, or at times even colder. But Obs Hill does have a significant heat island effect, although the Brisbane CBD also seems to have a heat island effect (but it's an inconsistent effect...I still think it's a dodgy site!) The Brisbane AP got down to 5C last night, I got down to 5.3C myself. 5C also at Archerfield (southern suburbs), and 1C at Amberley <-1C grass temp>, and is located on the far western fringes. Logan City was 6C and is also on the south side. The CBD only got down to 8C though...I have a feeling the 5 and 6 degree temps recorded in most areas are probably more reliable than the CBD temp. None the less - still awfully cold! You're right though...the Brisbane AP is capable of lower extremes...I think that's a combination of decreased moisture in Brisbane during winter and the heat island effect at Obs Hill.

Hey Ya'll:
        I just figured out that if you convert Mena's DEGREES of Lat./Lon. into DEGREES CELSIUS, Mena's new location would be:
        1.1DEG NORTH by 34.4 DEG WEST,
  Which would put us in the Atlantic Ocean, about midway between South America and Africa.
         HMMMM.....I think I like DEGREES of Lat./Lon. BETTER!

Re: John Graham:
       Hello to you: WOW!! What a website!! I'va always wondered what it would be like to live on the ocean(beachfront home,etc.) I also (of course) greatly enjoyed the NSW weather Obs., the River Level page, and the AFL page. ESPN used to show AFL games, but not in the last few years. The last Grand Final that I saw was when the West Coast Eagles won the premiership. I also saw "Lethal" Leigh Mathews' final game. For me, one of the interesting things about watching foreign sports events(soccer, AFL, rugby) is to see the advertising banners in the background. I remember seeing AFL games, and in the background I'd see:"Four-n-Twenty Pies", "Hard Yakka", "...anyhow have a Winfield's", ..."any tougher, they'd rust" etc. I think AFL players are the TRUE athletes., playing so rough without pads/protection of any kind; much less running flatout for an hour-and-a-half.

Hey,Hey Everyone:
         In Mena there are 4 bank clocks that indicate time and temperature. 2 of those clocks are no more than about 75 YDS.(68.5m) apart, but on most days(like today) their temps. were 5F different from each other(more on some days). I was wondering what would cause this? I don't know where the temp. sensors are.  P.S. I forgot to mention that I also love Steve Irwin--the Crocodile Man. I greatly enjoy his Crocodile Hunt program, I also enjoyed his "The World's 10 Deadliest Snakes" and "Up Over Down Under" TV shows. We even have a parody of his voice on local radio in an anti-litter commercial. I think he (and Paul Hogan) are great ambassadors for Australia. (Too bad he had to go all the way to the US to find a wife). By the way, who is the Wizard of Oz? What is Victoria's Secret? Have you been Waltzing With Matilda?(LOL!!)

That should answer your question about global warming, Arky. GW is now in the domain of stand-up comedy. The nation's leading forecasters cannot warn until it is too late of devastating frosts, floods, droughts, cold snaps, hail and earthquakes and yet they somehow feel qualified to comment on weather and climate 50 or 60 years ahead. That this defies logic seems to escape them.

I've been getting a number of errors from my outdoor temp/humidity sensor displayed on my WM-918 wx station monitor giving me a " - - - - " reading. I bought the wx station about 3 weeks ago from DSE & it has been running fine till a few days ago when the errors started.
I checked all my connections & everything seems fine. I was starting to think I had bought myself a lemon & was going to take it back when I came across this bit of info at  http://www.weatherwatchers.org/wxstation/WX-200/faq/ & discovered that my problem is not a isolated one!
 
Has anybody else on this list who owns a WM-918 / WX-200 / Huger (all 3 are the same) have/had any problems (or aware of) with their Wx's?

Surprising temperature wise it is very similar to what I would expect in Novemeber ( same seasonal month ) for inland areas at the same latitude here. Although I expect that most Eastern Australia sites to have a High well over 90F on at least one day.
 
On the coast however were I live ( also at 34 ' ) , the ocean keep the averages less extreme, in the several years I took data my November had an average max of 23.2C, and a minimum of 15.1C. The lowest ever recorded in the several years was 10C. But that was 1km from the ocean.
 
Rainfall is a different matter. November is a hit or miss month here. My average was 99mm, but one good year corrupts the figures a little.

The extremes over just a handful of kilometres has been notable. Jervis Bay for example scored 118mm, whilst nearby Greenwell Point scores only 29mm. Less extreme but still significant is Nelson Bay with 84mm, whilst Newcastle of the other end of the Stockton Bight scored 42mm, and Williamtown just a short drive from Nelson Bay did not even make 40mm. Mind you the Newcastle totals will have taken a battering over the last 24 hours ( which is not included ). I had to travel to Nowra on Friday morning and even then the tip of Jervis Bay was under showers whilst the sun shone elsewhere.

Michael Thompson: I suppose our similarities are due to the proximity of the ocean to you, with our altitude having the like effect on us.

Surprising temperature wise it is very similar to what I would expect in Novemeber ( same seasonal month ) for inland areas at the same latitude here. Although I expect that most Eastern Australia sites to have a High well over 90F on at least one day.
 
On the coast however were I live ( also at 34 ' ) , the ocean keep the averages less extreme, in the several years I took data my November had an average max of 23.2C, and a minimum of 15.1C. The lowest ever recorded in the several years was 10C. But that was 1km from the ocean.
 
Rainfall is a different matter. November is a hit or miss month here. My average was 99mm, but one good year corrupts the figures a little.

Just to clarify, the majority of the temps. I listed are from Mena's official wx station(KENA), other sources I occasionally use are the Mena Info Line(for Overall Highs/Lows, and the approx. time they occurred) or the AWS at Mena Airport. (The wx reporting from KENA has an exasperating habit of giving the 24-hour low; which may be the low for the previous morning instead of the current morning). The rain totals are from my rainguage at my house.

Hello Wx Buffs:
         I do wx obs. in Mena like this: A usual day just has a high and low temp. which I can record by listening to KENA. Occasionally a cold/arctic front will come through and I'll need other readings from other sources. KENA gives wx reports only a few times a day(some are forecasts w/no current temp. given). For Overall Highs, Day Lows, Day Highs, Overall Lows, I usually get the temp. and approx. time of occurrence from the Mena Info Line. An ex. this entered into my daily wx log(calendar) would look like this:(For me a day starts at 12:01 A.M. and ends at 11:59 P.M.)  the day in example is Fri. Feb. 16, 2001:
 
              52F      -      27F
 
          12:01 a.m.                  10:57 p.m.
Morn. low=39F
Day high= 44F  8:30 a.m.
Day low= 30F  5:37 p.m. Rain= 2.80"
The 52F is the Overall High, the 27F is the Overall Low.(For the daytime readings, I try to get them right after sunrise and as close to sunset as possible). Some days the temp. falls all day and there is no entry for morn. low(the temp. at sunrise will be the day high). This ex. shows the temp. rising slightly after the morn. low. Since I cannot be on the phone every minute, the times are when I call and are not too far off of actual exact occurrence).   David Powell

Hello David
 
Thankyou for the directions. I love scouring maps but I could not come up with a reasonable detailed state map looking at the whole state not just small sections, do you have a URL? 
I did a search for Mena and came up with a few skeletons - organised crime, gun running, drugs, politicians and murder! All very interesting stuff, reminds me of Griffith NSW without the gun running.

Re. Chas Osborn:
       G'DAY. The following are directions for finding Mena on a topo map:
  Go to: americasroof.com/counties.shtml
   CLICK on Arkansas, a new page will come up with the counties of Arkansas on the lefthand side.
    Scroll down to Polk County, CLICK on Rich Mtn. Lookout Tower, a quadmap will load, either a 1:200000 or 1:100000 scale(elev. in meters) with Rich Mtn.(marked) in the middle.
     For greater detail CLICK on the number(just above top edge of map window) 1:25000, a quadmap will load in(now elevs, in feet).;after maps load, CLICK the Southeast arrow(lower right hand), CLICK Southeast arrow a total of 4 times(let each quadmap load fully in before clicking), after the 4th time, after map has loaded, CLICK the South arrow(bottom) 2 times,(let map fully load each time before clicking). Once this is done you will be on the north end of Mena, then you can click in any direction you wish.  Enjoy   David Powell

Hello! You might try this web address: www.ahtd.state.ar.us/maps.htm  . Yes, Mena's image has been a little muddied by the gun running/drug manuf. allegedly operating through the Mena Airport. I am sure it must've happened, and although I live here, I don't have first-hand info. on any of this. Luckily those illegal ops. have moved elsewhere. The big drug problem here, nowadays is meth labs and small plots of marijuana farming. On this website you may want to CLICK on the State Highway(Tourist) Map. Hope this helps you. Have a :) week!   David Powell

More than 99% of Australia experienced above-normal maximum temperatures in May. It wasn't such a dramatic month for minimum temperatures, but they were still above normal over more than half the country. (Maps of all of the above can be found via the Bureau's climate web pages at http://www.bom.gov.au/climate). Over the globe as a whole, the first four months of 2002 have mean temperatures second only to 1998. Even with a warming trend, cold extremes will still happen - they will just happen less often. Over the 1957-1996 period in Australia, depending on how one defines an extreme, the frequency of cold extremes declined by 10-30% - a noticeable decline but certainly not a complete disappearance. (The reverse is true of warm extremes).

Plain text has worked great with e-mail for the twenty years or so that I've been using it. HTML is only a nuisance. Some of the computers I use handle it gracefully, others do not. Some e-mail server virus scan programs are now bouncing messages that appear to have attached html files because of the recent rash of viruses using this format. With plain text e-mails, you always get the message. With HTML e-mails it's anyone's guess what the message will look like at the other end or whether or not the recipient will ever get it. Hey, I want to read interesting stuff about the weather, not waste time trying to figure out what the e-mail might look like if some dud terminal hadn't scrambled the HTML.

Howdy:
        I believe I've heard this explained before, but I've forgotton it. Sometimes when a storm is on top of us, the clouds will have a greenish color. What causes this?
         Has just about every part of Australia felt the various effects of a cyclone(hurricane)? Mena RARELY gets anything tropical. If the remnants of a Storm make it this far north, it will be just a windy rainmaker. The steering winds direct any landfalling Tropical Storms/Hurricanes either South of us (through Texas) or well to the East of us(One tropical system was carried to the West and Northwest of Arkansas). The last time Mena experienced anything tropical was September 12-14, 1998, when the remnants of Tropical Storm Frances dropped a total of 5.25IN(133.3mm)on us. Sep. 12= 3.10IN(78.7mm), Sep. 13= 1.05IN(26.6mm), Sep. 14= 1.10IN(27.9mm). Before this, I'm not sure of the occurrence.  Have a good one David Powell

Regarding Cyclones, it depends what your classify effects. I think almost every part of Australia has experineced cloud and sometimes rain from ex cyclone systems. More so from Indian Ocean cyclone remnants which can entrained into general mid latitude weather systems.
 
Direct Cyclone exposure is limited to coastal and hinterland areas. In Western Australia down to approx 30'S. On the east coast more like 25'S. The curvature of the SE Australian coast is away from the general path of cyclones, so New Zealand at at higher latitudes actually sees more ex cyclone action then New South Wales.
 
Of course there are always exceptions. Cyclone Donald or ' the duck ' was a notable one and a whole story in itself.
 
 
Read about the duck at the link above.
 
As for Donald ---
 
It looks like a duck,
 
It walks like a duck,
 
It quacks like a duck,
 
It must be a duck !!
 
Translate
 
It looks like Cyclone.
 
It behaves like a Cyclone,
 
It affects the coast like a cyclone, ( strong winds, etc )
 
It must be a cyclone !!
 
yet this duck was never Christened a cyclone.

Howdy:
        I believe I've heard this explained before, but I've forgotton it. Sometimes when a storm is on top of us, the clouds will have a greenish color. What causes this?
         Has just about every part of Australia felt the various effects of a cyclone(hurricane)? Mena RARELY gets anything tropical. If the remnants of a Storm make it this far north, it will be just a windy rainmaker. The steering winds direct any landfalling Tropical Storms/Hurricanes either South of us (through Texas) or well to the East of us(One tropical system was carried to the West and Northwest of Arkansas). The last time Mena experienced anything tropical was September 12-14, 1998, when the remnants of Tropical Storm Frances dropped a total of 5.25IN(133.3mm)on us. Sep. 12= 3.10IN(78.7mm), Sep. 13= 1.05IN(26.6mm), Sep. 14= 1.10IN(27.9mm). Before this, I'm not sure of the occurrence.  Have a good one David Powell

To Everybody:
        Top o' the day to you. My computer detected a suspected virus from one of ya'lls e-mails. I hope this was a mistake, otherwise I AM ABSOLUTELY SORRY if I have irritated anyone to the point of this occurrence. Since Mena is fixing to go into the Summer doldrums, highs mid-80s to mid-90sF, lows mid-60s to mid-70s F; I will try to make my posts more sparse. I assuredly hope this was something beyond human control. Believe me, I'm trying to be a good boy.

I would like to extend my thoughts and sorrows to a fellow List member Andrew Godsman and his faimly and friends.
 
Andrew Godsman died suddenly on May 22, aged 29,

The lowest I could find amongst reliably reporting stations is 3.2mm at Roxby Downs; also 6.2 at Andamooka and 8.6 at Woomera. While SA has the lowest mean rainfalls in Australia, WA has the lowest extremes - the only instance of a rainless calendar year at an Australian station was at a site near Marble Bar.

Latest from the giru Regards Bill, from a cold (very cold for us!)Proserpine. Forwarded Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 11:26 AM Subject: Climate update Climate chatline from Roger Stone for your information. Abbreviated Climate Chatline for May 31st 2002. Greetings to all on the Climate Chatline. * Entire equatorial Pacific Ocean 'awash' with westerly wind bursts, * SOI falls, * Central equatorial Pacific warming, * Early 'onset' stage of some type of an El Niño event apparent. * 'Poor' sub-soil moisture profiles in many areas. Little soil moisture 'buffer' available for winter. As requested, here are some brief, key points regarding current developments. They are presented in dot-point form. Key points: * The Southern Oscillation Index has fallen rapidly over the past 4 weeks. The value for the end of May is ~minus 14. * The equatorial Pacific Ocean is now experiencing remarkable 'westerly wind -burst' activity across its entire length, often a key sign of early onset stages of an El Niño event of some sort. * The central equatorial Pacific Ocean region, where the international dateline intersects with the equator (Niño 4 Region), is now +0.9 C above normal. In itself, this type of pattern generally results in reduced rainfall for many areas of Queensland (time series of sst anomalies can be found at : http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_update/ssta_c .gif.) * Sub-surface oceanic condition data continue to show 'warm' anomalies at depth in the Niño 4 region of the equatorial Pacific. Refer to: (http// www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_update/sstxz.gif). * * The sea-surface temperature patterns in the Central Pacific are the key to future rainfall and temperature patterns for Queensland. Reference to the far-eastern equatorial Pacific at this early stage of developments is mainly irrelevant. * The SOI phase system shows varying rainfall probability values across eastern Australia for the June to August period but with 'low' (~30%) probability of exceeding median rainfall for southern/western Downs areas and most of the tropical north coast and also much of inland NSW. Conversely, this pattern shows reasonably high rainfall probability values (~ 60%-70%) for northern NSW coastal areas for this validity period. The outlook for the July to September period will depend on just how the currently rapidly changing pattern continues to develop. If the SOI stays deeply negative from now on then we would expect comparatively low rainfall probability values to extend throughout eastern Australia.: * There has been no 'downgrading' of the likelihood of 'some sort' of El Niño event. * Potential future impacts of the Decadal Pacific Oscillation on our longer-term rainfall patterns remain interesting. Please refer to SPOTA-1 information on the Long Paddock internet site for more details. * The 30-50 day Oscillation (or 'MJO') has certainly aided westerly wind burst activity in the tropical Pacific over the last month. This system has had little direct impact on reflected high latitude cloud bands that occasionally affect Queensland rainfall. This system is next across our longitudes about mid to late June.. * Reference to 'weak' or strong' El Niño events is misleading as these references refer to the magnitude of sea-surface temperature anomalies not the impacts of an El Niño. As an example many of the sea-surface temperature anomaly patterns observed in the equatorial Pacific during 1991 to 1994 were regarded as 'very weak' El Niño events yet the impact on Queensland rainfall was considerable. * Wheat yield prospects are of concern, considering the current, poor, soil moisture profiles because of limited summer rainfall in some regions.. Please see our web site www.dpi.qld.gov.au/climate/).

My own mail server has intercepted, quarantined and deleted posts from users on this mailing list who have "inadvertantly" sent viruses along with them. It is lucky that the server itself will NOT let through emails of any kind with recognised viruses or trojans. Warnings will be mailed directly to me when this does occour, and i will then consult the director of my ISP in regards to tracing whom these mails came from, specifically because the offending mail itself has a lot of stuff scrambled. There have also been past posts i still have in the Aus-Wx folder here, regarding this matter, rouge virii/trojans. im 99% sure that nobody on this list will ever set out to do such a thing to you, or anyone else on the list in particular. It is also interesting to note the recent topic of HTML, virii will usually encode themselves in a HTML string, unless an attatchment is forwarded. Please do not think people are against you Dave, if they do not like what you have to relay to the Aussie list, they know what to do, if they do not, 5 minutes of "learning" and then another 5 minutes of reconfiguring will fix the problem, In regards to Andrew Godsman, i am rather new to the list and to WeatherZone in general, but i do pass on my sincerest regards to his family & friends in this time of need. From his posts i have recieved here, and read on Wz, he is no doubt held in high regard among his peers and the Wx community. He will be well cared for now by past members of his own family, Lets all remember him for the joy he has bought everyone but lest we not forget the period of mourning for such a great fellow whose life was so tragically cut short.

What can I say, it is sad and sobering, I am stunned. Although I have only met him a few times Andrew was the person you would least associate with a heart attack. He was young, slim, good looking and a prime athelete. He ran marathons and rode his bike to work each day.  I will sorely miss  messages regarding Wollongong weather.

I'd never met him but i always enjoyed his posts to the list, his last being 21-4-02 titled "Snow watching time".
 
I know the feeling of loosing a mate suddenly and i hope his family and friends are dealing with the pain allright.

Hi Arky.
 
Don't get too worries about the virus. I used to get up 10 viruses a day, due to my website been trawled by spammers and the like. I can spot them straight away and dump them.
 
I hope that it is not a personal attack, there are some small minded people out there. I have a surfing website and used to grt threatening E Mails from immature individuals about me exposing their secret surfspots. Secret - within 5 kms of 300,000 people - give me a break.

Greetings A.D.
Being interested in the climate of most places on this globe, I was checking out your state and much of Arkansas receives a rather high annual rainfall, (at least eastern Arkansas), do you have rainfall and climatic data for Mena and does the rather high hills in your area (Rich Mtn) exert an influence on local rainfall amounts, regards Clyve Herbert.
PS In respect to the odd virus, I received one last year that took me 3 days to clean up including a complete reconfiguration of my hard drive, sometimes one or two get through on this list, since I have installed 'Grisoft' viral protection things have been ok, best wishes C.H.

I'm sure that Andrew is looking down at us all while sitting on a supercell. Michael, it doesn't matter how healthy one is...these things can happen to anyone. I myself went through this with a minor attack back in October 2000, which resulted me missing out on TDU 2000. I consider myself to be quite healthy and active, yet due to high cholesterol, which reduced the capacity of my main artery, I myself ended up in hospital for just over a week, and also with the risk of having to be flown to Melbourne for a bypass. Fortunately, with anti-cholesterol tablets and having to take half an aspirin a day, I'm okay now...but I will still always have that risk, but I just don't think about it...especially with so much happening in my life now (8 weeks to go until Baby Yole....YIKES!!!)

Good Mornin' Fellow wx "Mates":
           THANKS for those comforting e-mails. After I posted the virus incident, I talked with a friend who said that perhaps my computer thought the message sent to me was a virus due to my computer being unable to recognize the different code it was written in. My comp. virus alert indicated that the offending message came to me from "Administrator" which is at border.net--and the offending message was a line of random(higher and lower case) letters with a few numbers(which made no sense). Does anyone know of a site where I can possibly decipher this message?

Hello Clyve:
         Yes, I think the mtns. in our area exercise an influence on rainfall, as statewide rain avgs. decrease from Northwest to Southeast. I found a couple of sites for you. cdiac.oml.gov/ndps/ushcn/statepcp.html   The page says US HCN Precipitation Data. Scroll down to Arkansas and CLICK on Mena; the next page will show actual monthly(in inches= 350=3.50IN) rainfall for each month in Mena. The last figure is the rain total for the year. The next site is:  www.co2science.org/ushcn/ar/ar.htm  This will tell about climactic trends. CLICK on pull-down menu to find Mena, then use the other pull-down menus to configure your search. This done, CLICK Calculate Trend; this done a page will come up with your request represented on a graph. You may want to CLICK where it says Calculate Trend in Tabular Form.
          Happy Hunting   David Powell

        Welcome to Part 3....like an epic novel...lol! You can also go to weather.com (the Weather Channel). When page appears, enter Mena,ar or 71953 in the box, then CLICK GO, this done a page with Mena's current conditions will appear.(It says Mena, Ar. as reported from Mt. Ida--abt. 35MI/58.3km East--Mt. Ida's wx, says as reported from Hot Springs---another 35MI/58.3km Further East.) CLICK on Averages & Records, this done you will see each month listed, CLICK on the month of your choice, indicated are norm. high/low & record high/low for each day. Each page will show, I think, 12 days at a time. The month page will also show norm. prec. for each month. MY rain totals and theirs won't jibe, due to the fact that my home raingauge is VERY unofficial. I also like to go to weather.com and check the contrasting temps. in Alaska. While the northern towns are at -30F, Southern towns along the ocean are in the 40sF, or even a greater contrast. I hope you find the info. you need.

Hello Fellow WX "Nuts":
        If ANYONE is interested in detailed topo map atlas of Arkansas, you might want to request a copy of  Arkansas Atlas & Gazetteer, send your request to: DeLorme    Two DeLorme Drive   P.O. Box 298    Yarmouth,ME 04096. or call  1-800-452-5931. I'm not sure what our country's telephone access code is. I bought my Gazetteer from the local Wal-Mart for US$16.95+tax. Just about everything in Arkansas is marked on these maps(the village of Creamery Package, Stillhouse Spring, Nubbin Ridge, John White Gap, Flat Rock Hollow,Possum Walk Creek, McCracken Ditch,Red Allen Road, Williams Ranch Airport, etc, just to name a few of the colorful placenames marked. Also marked are points of interest, golf courses, mun. airports, highways/roads, railroads, hunting/fishing areas, hiking trails/driving tours, etc. Well worth the money, in my opinion.
           P.S. For all you history buffs, if you'd like a copy of Mena's Centennial History, ask me and I will give you the address for it.(I'm even in it!!!)

Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2002 14:43:43 +1000 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2655.55) Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com The list seems to have been pretty quite on this, as has Weatherzone, so I thought I would post it anyway... I thought it might be worth bringing to the lists attention the extremes of rainfall/moisture that Australia has witnessed in the last couple of days. Foremost, Exmouth under what might very loosely be called a NW cloud band - but clearly was not in the conventional sense received a June WA state record rainfall of 304.6mm to 9am Tuesday. Apparently, the town power station was flooded, and witnesses who live through TC Vance verified that it was wetter than during that event (see http://abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s573115.htm for example). The previous June WA record was 272.2mm Urala (11/6/1992 - thanks Blair). Falls near 100mm were quite widespread, but with the rain band substantially tracking along its axis and the sparsity of stations, it is not surprising that Exmouth which would appear to have "scored" a near direct hit achieved such a high total. Mechanistically, the rain coincided with a tongue of exceptionally moist air (precip water near ~55mm) extending from the Indian Ocean onto the coast, and a small but well organized area of rapid vertical motion omega values ~-40 (- I'm sure someone can come up with a nice explanation involving Q vectors or IPV!). From a climate perspective, this rain event coincides with an Indian Ocean NW of Australia which is quite possibly the warmest we have ever witnessed in early winter (see http://www.bom.gov.au/bmrc/ocean/results/SST_anals/SSTA_NOW.gif). On the flip side, the enormous semi permanent high which has firmly lodged itself near Victoria for ~6 weeks, which is linked to the very strong falls in the SOI in the last month, has seen exceptionally dry air become established over much of central Australia. Indeed, yesterday, the precipitable water analysis shorted a minimum of 1mm in the NT which I can't imagine happens to often (comments?), and which has been reflected in the very large diurnal temperature ranges (widely ~20C) which have been common place in recent days (e.g., Yesterday, 0 to 20C Alice Springs, -3 to 16C Wangarratta, -4 to 17 Canberra, -2 to 18C Renmark,... etc). Cheers, DJ BTW that is tragic to hear about Andrew. At 33 myself (and considering myself "relatively" young) it really hits home to think how tenuous our hold on life really can be.

Does anyone know the approximate date that it is due to become operational for the public? The other side of the coin reveals that the Bureau's upgrade of 6-level radar data to 16-levels will not affect standard GIF radar images. Bummer. The underlying network will be upgraded to 16-levels, and only PC-Rapic users and those with access to polar/archive data files (and a suitable decoder) will be able to view the new 16 reflectivity levels. For web image users, 16-level data will be mapped back into the equivalent existing 6-scale level. I'm not sure if this is a deliberate choice on the Bureau's part, or whether it is simply a matter of lack of manpower and resrouces to provide 16-level scaled web images. Kinda makes me wish that ASWA had access to the polar format files...only then I'd need to be (or know of) some kind of graphics/programming guru. :-) Mal Ninnes Wentworthville, Sydney. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ From: "richard modistach" To: "weather mailing list" Subject: Fw: aus-wx: congrats paul Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2002 17:57:05 +0930 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com good on ya peter, good to see other people starting their kids early, spread the word guys, weather rocks.

I was watching this 'NW cloud band" over the past several days its interesting that the enhanced mid and upper level accent channel was so narrow with what seems to be the max accent value just offshore and this peculiar behaviour has persisted for most of the event (3 days) I even suspect some type of surface pressure wave moving along the coast and to the seaward, the main accent also seems to be occurring under a rather efficient mid and upper shear. In respect to the dry air over areas you described there seems to be a change developing in the pattern across south east Aus over the next day or two as the long wave trough finally replaces the current high ......with a bit of luck may be even cold enough for a flake or two down to 600m...regards Clyve H. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Jones To: Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 2:43 PM Subject: aus-wx: Exmouth storms? > The list seems to have been pretty quite on this, as has Weatherzone, so I > thought I would post it anyway... > > I thought it might be worth bringing to the lists attention the extremes of > rainfall/moisture that Australia has witnessed in the last couple of days. > Foremost, Exmouth under what might very loosely be called a NW cloud band - > but clearly was > not in the conventional sense received a June WA state record rainfall of > 304.6mm to 9am Tuesday.

Hello Clyve:
         Yes, I think the mtns. in our area exercise an influence on rainfall, as statewide rain avgs. decrease from Northwest to Southeast. I found a couple of sites for you. cdiac.oml.gov/ndps/ushcn/statepcp.html   The page says US HCN Precipitation Data. Scroll down to Arkansas and CLICK on Mena; the next page will show actual monthly(in inches= 350=3.50IN) rainfall for each month in Mena. The last figure is the rain total for the year. The next site is:  www.co2science.org/ushcn/ar/ar.htm  This will tell about climactic trends. CLICK on pull-down menu to find Mena, then use the other pull-down menus to configure your search. This done, CLICK Calculate Trend; this done a page will come up with your request represented on a graph. You may want to CLICK where it says Calculate Trend in Tabular Form.

       I may be having trouble with my computer. Could you do me a favor? Chas Osborn wants a URL for maps of Mena. Could you post this on the aus-wx board? Topo Maps of Mena can be accessed through americasroof.com.(when they go to the site, they will see a US map, click on Arkansas, when done, a list will appear with the Ark. counties listed with the highest named point in each county., find Polk County, click on Rich Mountain. this done a 1:250000 section of map(with the high pt. marked) will show up. For more detail click on 1:25000, Mena is southeast of there, so keep clicking on the down(south) and right-hand(east) buttons until the map of Mena comes up. Also, for anyone that's interested, Mena's website is: http://www.mena-ark.com/, if anyone wants to see my part of the world. Could you please relay this info. for me?

I'm back in weatherland after a severe work attack. Kinka Beach is the beach at the southern end of Shoal Bay, which in turn is about 10km SE of Yeppoon and just north of Emu Park. Yeppoon received 98.2mm but Yaamba, 40km west of Yeppoon, recorded 121, the highest on the official rainlist for the Central Coast. Hedlow Airfield, about 15km west of Kinka got 57mm and North Rockhampton, 30km WSW got 54mm. Unfortunately there's no official raingauge on the coast along the 80km between Yeppoon and Gladstone (which got 82 at the Met Office but only 41 at the Airport), so there's not much to corroborate 300+mm at Kinka Beach. I don't suppose it is the classic error where the farmer tells the reporter 322points and the journo puts down 322mm -- 322pts = 82mm seems to fit in with what's around it. The highest falls in the Bundaberg area (also the highest in the whole country after Exmouth) were 174.4 at Woodgate, which is about 30km SE of Bundaberg, and 164.8 at Woongarra, which is right in the middle of Bundaberg. BTW, according to my database, several Qld June rainfall records fell on the 4th -- Brigalow Research Stn (39.6, was 36.8 in 33 years of record), Baralaba PO (118.0, 76.7, 75) and Gladstone Radar (82.0, 62.5, 36). In WA, in addition to the phenomenal fall at Exmouth, June records went at Learmonth AP (88.2, 78.2, 46) and Wokalup (73.6, 63.5, 49).

Dear Mr. Herbert:
       Greetings from a Rainy Mena: MY daily accurate weather obs. begin in 1991. According to MY records, the earliest SNOW was flurries w/sleet on Oct. 29,1993; the latest SNOW (as previously mentioned was 4" in early May in--I think--1979). Exact date-wise MY records indicate flurries on Mar. 19, 1989 and also flurries on Mar. 19, 1996. I AM CERTAIN there have been later/earlier SNOWFALLS in Mena but I am unaware of the dates.
         P.S. I've never seen your name spelled like that before.NEAT!!!
          Let me know if I can be of further help.
         As mentioned earlier, Mena's SNOWFALL pattern is so erratic that most years we only get flurries, some years we have a good amount. In an earlier e-mail I mentioned Mena's yearly SNOW totals from 1991-2001; much of the measureable SNOW totals for the year came in one event.       Have a wonderful day    David Powell

George Bush's Global Warming Cause, Shows Purely Political...06/04/02
by Mitch Battros (ECTV)

Remember the old saying "if you can't beat them, confuse them". Well that seems to be the case here. One way to keep the public guessing is to heap tons of analytical scenario's in what they call researched data. There are over two hundred and fifty pages of factual research data. However, what we end up with is nothing more than "subjective conjecture". There is no conclusive evidence. If this were a trial, it would be thrown out of court.

Here is but one single page of many which shows how inconsistent and non-conclusive this study really is. It has more holes than a Texas fly swatter. http://www.usgcrp.gov/usgcrp/nacc/thirdnatcom/comments-general.htm  The responses you see here are made by Senior Scientist in the field of Climatology, Paleology, Historians, Geologist, Urbanist, and Archeologist. Their credibility is second to none. Yet they have a very different view than the suggested 'mainly human influence' this report would have you believe.

To condense thousands and thousands of words down to its essence is to say one thing..."we are all just kind of guessing". I must say, there were some exciting moments in this report. My favorite is when our current scientist use "ancient text" in supporting their evaluation . I love this!

Here is the full report: http://www.epa.gov/globalwarming/publications/car/index.html

This report of what they call "Global Warming" which simply means "Warmer Globe" has done nothing but enforce my conviction as to natural cycles the Earth has seen many times before. I would suspect over the next six months, we will start to see leaks, and then floods, of information coming out about our Sun. I will go even further out on a limb to suggest the current report disclosed yesterday, was to distract us from what may really be going on in our solar system. It will all start and begin with our Sun.

In staying with ECTV's tradition, Values statement, and respected reputation, I will not post anything without first backing it with the research, data, and documents needed to show credibility of this assertion. We have done this over the years and is evidenced with our documentation posted in our "breaking news archives".

ECTV Breaking News Archives: http://www.earthchangestv.com/breaking/archivesindex2000.htm

At this point let me just say that I am confident we will soon be turning our attention back to the Sun before this years end. We will see that humans play a small role in the evolution of climate cycles. Having said this, as I stated from the first of my research in 1999, although we humans play a much smaller role than our environmentalist friends would have us believe, it is important to remain responsible. This is our home and we should treat it as such.

Even though research shows humans may contribute only about 18% to "global warming i.e. warmer globe", this is still a significant amount and we should do everything we can to clean up our act. I will re-affirm that I do everything I can to be environmental responsible. From recycling, to using less heat and air conditioning, to driving an efficient car. I would like to ask you to join me in keeping reasonable responsible. Our ancestors remind us of this often in their messages through ancient text and prophecy.
 

Todays Solar Forecast:

Todays sunspot count is 208. The Sun is peppered with sunspots showing approximentaly eight regions. We had M-Class flares for two days in a row June 1st and 2nd. As a result, watch for extreme weather today with more than likely "record breaking" events to occur.

Partial Solar Eclipse will occur on June 10th. The partial eclipse will last about two hours. Unfortunately, sky watchers along the eastern edge of North America won't see any of it. In Miami, Washington D.C. and New York City, for example, the eclipse begins and ends after nightfall. However, almost everyone in the United States west of Atlanta can see some of the event (weather permitting). Observers in the south and central U.S. are best placed to see a deep eclipse at sunset.

There are a few places, mostly in the Pacific Ocean, where the Moon will cross the Sun dead-center on June 10th (or June
11th, because of the International Date Line). For about one minute, a bright "ring of fire" will surround the Moon. It's what
astronomers call an annular eclipse.

Hi A.D.
Thank you for your reply, in respect to my name I was born in Wales and moved to Australia in 1964 then aged 12, in all that time I have seen snow here in Geelong on about 5 occasions (Leopold is located 12 klm east of Geelong). The most snow I have seen here was on July 26th 1986 when about 2cm fell and was on the ground for about 2 hours, the low hills around Geelong were snow capped for about half the day. The Antarctic blast that day dropped temperatures down to 1.5c (35f) for most of the morning, not bad considering the southwest airmass had passed over almost 3000klm of open ocean after leaving the Antarctic ice sheets, my maximum that day was 7c 44f. My coldest maximum temp (unofficial) was on Aug 8 1968 that was 4.5c (40f) snow also fell sporadically that day also, snow at sea level over southern Aus is very rare and when it occurs will make the front page of the local newspapers... best wishes Clyve H.

For all of those who think they have any ability of picking weather drop by the Australian alpine weather forum.

 

If your keen join the comp and try and predict snow falls 3 days ahead.

Hi Dave,
I can tell you Auckland is 18hours ahead of Arkansas therefore Sydney is 15hours ahead of you.
Thus when we are having lunch in Auckland (12pm) you are having dinner in Arkansas (6pm) and
in Sydney they are just finishing breakfast 9am. Only thing is though, you are in the previous day.
 
I think most countries in the world have daylight saving.

Slight error there, Sydney is only 2 hours behind New Zealand. :) BTW, this is the very reason why GMT (and later, UTC) came about - to provide a common time standard for international coordination. So, for a little bit of tuturial: UTC is equivalent to "standard" time (i.e. not daylight saving) at Greenwich Observatory in the UK (that's close enough for our purposes). A shorthand notation of UTC time is the "z" suffix - i.e. 0200z is 0200 hours UTC. Those who follow sat pics and other BoM info such as the radar images will be familiar with the UTC timestamp. We radio amateurs use it to coordinate international events. At light speed (that's how fast radio waves propagate :) ), time zone differences are obviously important, and we want things to happen at the right time, regardless of where we are. :-) Eastern Australia is 10 hours ahead of UTC - i.e. at 0000z, it is 10 AM local time here). New Zealand is 12 hours ahead of UTC. South Australia is 9 1/2 hours ahead of UTC Western Australia is 8 hours ahead of UTC. Some areas also observe daylight saving time (NSW, Vic, Tas, SA). In these areas, the local time is another hour ahead of UTC while daylight saving is in force. The USA has several time zones which are all _behind_ UTC. Standard time differences are between 5 and 8 hours behind UTC (for the central 48 states), if I recall (Americans will know better than me ;) ). This will be different (obviously!) for those states which currently have daylight saving time. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. :) 73 de Tony, VK3JED http://vk3jed.vk.irlp.net --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

For example, your e-mails show that you are 5 hours behind UTC/GMT. Most of the Australian posts are east coast and we are 10 hours in front of UTC/GMT, so the time disfference is 10 plus 5 you are 15 hours behind us. In the case of the New Zealanders, they are 12 hours ahead of UTC?GMT so the time difference to them is you are 17 hours behind them etc, etc. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ From: "Sha" To: Subject: Re: aus-wx: TIME DIFFERENCE Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2002 22:58:01 +1000 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4807.1700 Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com A really good URL for times throughout the world is : http://www.timeanddate.com Love Sha --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

This Annular Solar Eclipse Super New Moon (20 Gemini) is visible in eastern Asia, Japan, Indonesia, northern Australia, Pacific Ocean, Northern Mexico, United States and Canada, except in the extreme northeast. Center point of the Eclipse is 4:46 pm PDT (be sure to adjust to your time zone). An Annular Solar Eclipse is when the disk of the Moon covers the disk of the Sun but leaves a ring of light around the disk of the Sun. So this is a type of eclipse that does not create the effect of a total eclipse experience where the stars come out, the flowers close up and the animals quiet for sleep, but it does create a powerful experience of the dark shadow of the Moon covering the bright light of the Sun.

Top O' the Day to All:
        I was wondering: Do mountains help generate clouds?(I'm not talking about lenticular clouds that form about very tall mountains). I am talking about puffy, fairweather clouds.In my wx obs. it is a VERY RARE day in which I do not see at least 1 cloud(of any size) the entire day. Sometimes the abundance of puffy clouds in our area don't really show up on the US satellite loop, so I'm wondering if it is a local phenomenon. In MY obs. if I see just 1 cloud in a day, I write "mostly sunny" in my log,(Because, to me, CLEAR means COMPLETELY clear). Totally CLEAR days here are usually the day after a strong cold front has come through and scoured all the clouds out. So, I'm wondering if our mountainous terrain has anything to do with it.  THANKS  Have a :) weekend   David Powell

This is by far the worst case of bleaching on the reef in recorded history. This is potentially an enormous ecolological disaster in the making, as coral polyps are an essential part of the reef foodchain. Not only could this play havoc with tourism, but seriously impact reef fish stocks in coming years. On the positive side, it might knock off the crown of thorns starfish plague. It is believed that continued warmer than normal water causes this problem, as corals are apparently very sensitive to temperature. Many are pointing to this as clear side effect of global warming, with dire consequences for the future, as coral reefs all around the world are now in similar decline. Personally, I suspect there may be other factors at play, with perhaps very tiny concentrations of certain pollutants involved, as the normal diurnal and annual temp ranges of shallow water is quite large. Also the May mean sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly shows the coral sea at normal SST. If SST's have been higher than normal in reef waters this summer, then this may have been impacted by the absence of tropical cyclone activity this year. A normal TC can drop SST quite significantly, 1 ~ 1.5C over a large region, I believe. In my opinion, absence of TC's has been due in part to large masses of relatively dry continental air passing across QLD into the Coral Sea, giving hot dry conditions for much of summer and inhibiting offshore convective growth. At other times high pressure ridges have persisted over the Coral Sea from large Highs in the Tasman, but these have been less frequent this year than is typical. As a result Brisbane has had much less on-shore weather than is nornally expected in summer with consequent poor rainfall totals just inland. Anyway this is my take, I am curious what the better qualified members of this list think. Regards. John. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ From: "arky dave" To: Subject: Re: aus-wx: Very warm day Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2002 21:47:22 -0500 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400 Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com

Damian,
 
The aussie-weather mailing list is great as it is  - if you personally would like to try something with a different perspective you could try either the Forum at TWC and there are also mailing lists for people who want to share weather station information and records and these can be found by going to www.yahoogroups.com and doing a search for what it is that you are specifically interested in.
 
BTW, this list prides itself with the **absence** of personal attacks on members from other members. Regardless of whether you disagree or agree with a person or their comments on this list, there are standards of respect and politeness to be followed . Please adhere to them.
 
Happy hunting!!

Hi Arky. I honestly did not intend to offend you when I sent that message asking you to cut back on mailings. I don't find them irrelevant, don't take it personally like other people on this list did. It's not you in general. I just prefer local weather info', but I know others want world weather. So I'll shut up about it.
Anyway, I'm not very far inland. You can go to this address & type in Chatswood West in the state of NSW to see where I come from. Look for the river, that's where I live.

Hi Arky,
 
Yes I think terrain and geographic location influnces this largely, inland areas often have totally cloud free days compared to coastal regions where moisture is more prevalent.  Mostly it seems to be to do with surface moisture and that impacts coastal regions, which vary according to prevailing weather conditions.  For example, in Brisbane and Sydney it is rare in summer to have cloud free days as the prevailing condition is on-shore, whereas Perth frequently has strings of consecutive cloud free days in summer due to an off-shore very dry airstream.   Mountainous regions act as forcing mechansim to cause lifting and thus cloud formation or even just turbulence which might trigger a level of convection.
 
John.

Top O' the Day to All:
        I was wondering: Do mountains help generate clouds?(I'm not talking about lenticular clouds that form about very tall mountains). I am talking about puffy, fairweather clouds.In my wx obs. it is a VERY RARE day in which I do not see at least 1 cloud(of any size) the entire day. Sometimes the abundance of puffy clouds in our area don't really show up on the US satellite loop, so I'm wondering if it is a local phenomenon. In MY obs. if I see just 1 cloud in a day, I write "mostly sunny" in my log,(Because, to me, CLEAR means COMPLETELY clear).

THANKS! I was just wondering, our surrounding mountains are from 1700FT(518.2m)-2681FT(817.3m) and those clouds look very high. Would our relatively short mountains cause cloud formation that high up? Would our mountains cause clouds to linger? See Ya'll Later David Powell

Hi Arky,
 
Yes I think terrain and geographic location influnces this largely, inland areas often have totally cloud free days compared to coastal regions where moisture is more prevalent.  Mostly it seems to be to do with surface moisture and that impacts coastal regions, which vary according to prevailing weather conditions.  For example, in Brisbane and Sydney it is rare in summer to have cloud free days as the prevailing condition is on-shore, whereas Perth frequently has strings of consecutive cloud free days in summer due to an off-shore very dry airstream.   Mountainous regions act as forcing mechansim to cause lifting and thus cloud formation or even just turbulence which might trigger a level of convection.

Top O' the Day to All:
        I was wondering: Do mountains help generate clouds?(I'm not talking about lenticular clouds that form about very tall mountains). I am talking about puffy, fairweather clouds.In my wx obs. it is a VERY RARE day in which I do not see at least 1 cloud(of any size) the entire day. Sometimes the abundance of puffy clouds in our area don't really show up on the US satellite loop, so I'm wondering if it is a local phenomenon. In MY obs. if I see just 1 cloud in a day, I write "mostly sunny" in my log,(Because, to me, CLEAR means COMPLETELY clear). Totally CLEAR days here are usually the day after a strong cold front has come through and scoured all the clouds out.

Hi,
Also, the higher elevation can put convection above low level stability like a cap. Its not unusual in summer to see storms
over the mountains but clear weather elsewhere. We have a saying in NZ that mountains create there own weather.
Cheers

Howdy:
       I want to say that when I ask about Australia in my posts, I AM NOT trying to slight any of the other countries on this list (NZ, UK, etc). I would love to hear answers from the other countries on this list, so when I'm asking about Australia, I really mean everybody. So, whenever I ask a question, regardless of where you are feel free to answer, I am interested in wx everywhere. Sorry if I made anyone feel left out.
         P.S. I know that I said my upcoming posts would be sparse; believe it or not, I am starting to run out of questions, so I really wasn't trying to lie to you.
          May your day be better than yesterday and your tomorrow even better. :) THANKS:0

In fact TC activity should (in theory) increase with warming. Other factors must come into play (as you suspect) - such as nutrient overloading, the amount of rainfall being deposited from adjoining river catchments, turbidity, ozone hole and so on and so on.... The Barrier Reef is - how old ?....... Well, let's just say very old. I think the current trend for fewer and less intense Coral Sea TC's will not be sustainable and should be just a small scale fluctation in the grander scheme of things. My view is that lack of TC's is due to upper mechanisms at play rather than dry continental air. There were pleanty of occasions when we were teased by ever elongating triopical cloud masses this past season. (but yet again, its more than one factor here as well, and a combination of those factors). By the way, I always make a little time for the Weatherzone (sometimes the lounge section is a source of entertainment when the weather is a little on the boring side - quite often lately!). It offers alternative and occasionally uneducated views - but so what ? Just get stuck in.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE'S STORM SURVEY CONFIRMED TWO DISTINCT TORNADO TOUCHDOWNS...ONE IN BENNINGTON AND ONE IN WINDHAM COUNTY. AN F1 RANKED TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN 1 MILE NORTH OF WOODFORD HOLLOW IN BENNINGTON COUNTY AROUND 900 PM EDT ON WEDNESDAY. WINDS WERE ESTIMATED TO BE BETWEEN 80 AND 100 MPH. THE TORNADO CUT A SWATH 150 YARDS WIDE AND THE LENGTH WAS 1/2 OF A MILE. THIS TORNADO PRODUCE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE INCLUDING KNOCKING AND RIPPING OUT MANY TREES AS LARGE AS A FOOT IN DIAMETER. TWO HOUSES HAD TREES FALL ON THEM. THREE AUTOMOBILES ALSO HAD TREES FALL DOWN ON THEM. A STRONGER F2 TORNADO WAS CONFIRMED IN WINDHAM COUNTY. THE TOUCHDOWN TOOK PLACE ON HAYNES ROAD, OFF HIGLEY HILL ROAD, 4 MILES NORTHEAST FROM THE TOWN OF WILMINGTON, AND TOOK PLACE AROUND 940 PM ON WEDNESDAY. THE SPECIFIC LOCATION WAS RECORDED BY A GPS UNIT AT 42 DEGREES 53.834 MINUTES NORTH LATITUDE AND 72 DEGREES 48.971 MINUTES LONGITUDE. THE SWATH OF THIS TORNADO WAS 50 YARDS WIDE AND 1/2 MILE IN LENGTH. A HOUSE WAS PARTIALLY DESTROYED AT THIS LOCATION, AS A PORTION OF IT WAS REMOVED. THE GARAGE OF THE HOUSE WAS BLOWN OFF THE FOUNDATION, AND ONE DOOR WAS REMOVED, NEARLY KILLING THE OWNER. LUCKILY THE OWNER ESCAPED WITHOUT ANY INJURIES. IN THE HOME...ANTIQUES IN THE ATTIC WERE SPREAD OUT FOR MILES DOWNWIND AND A PROPANE TANK WAS MISSING...PRESUMED BLOWN DOWNSTREAM. THE WINDS WITH THIS TORNADO WERE ESTIMATED BETWEEN 125 AND 150 MPH.

This came my way via another list so I thought I would forward it as it raises some interesting questions concerning computer modelling of climate change. 1. Have all the computer models currently fuelling the global warming debate been run backwards to see how well they fit with history? 2. If not, why not? 3. If yes, are results available for scrutiny? 4. If none of them perform significantly better in 'backcasting' than the particular models refered to below apparently do, are the proponents of global warming enacting a huge (and potentially very expensive) scientific fraud on governments and the public around the globe?

Hey Everyone, How's it going?
        I was wondering, how far inland does the Marine Layer in Australia extend? I think in California, it extends inland for 10-20 miles or so. The easiest way to tell if off-shore/Santa Ana winds  have hit just by looking at San Francisco's temp. They normally have(this time of year) in the mid-60sF, off-shore winds can push their high to the mid-80sF+.
       P.S. Due to the unique wx dynamics in our area; it seems we have a much greater chance of seeing sleet/ice/ice storm than we do of seeing accumulating Snowfall.(For anyone more knowledgable than I, why would this be?) THANKS!!! This wx list is the only one(and might be the ONLY one I'll be on--don't want too many "irons in the fire" or proliferate inconsequential local wx from a VERY SMALL global area).
      Have a :) day today, and a :) :) day tomorrow!   David Powell

Good Aft'noon:
         For anyone interested--there is an article on El Nino--in today's(Friday, June 7) edition of the ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE. The newspaper may be accessed at: www.ardemgaz.com. The article is on Page 2A.
          As for the funny sounding newspaper name: The ARKANSAS GAZETTE(the oldest continuously published paper west of the Mississippi River{since 1819}) and the ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT merged in 1992., and both names were perpetuated.

Hi all.
The energetic sub tropical jet seems to have paved the way for what appears to be more rain on the north west coast of West Australia between Exmouth and Port Headland. Although this baroclinic band is not all that wide there seems to be a core of mid and upper ascent  just coming onto the coast. regards Clyve Herbert.

It variesa round the country. In New South Wales the marine layer normally goes further inland as the day progresses, usually only to the Great divide east edge. This layer is a significant thunderstorm inhibiter, convection rarely occurs overhead. However at the same under the right conditions it can also provide the moisture for storms further inland.

Hey Everyone, How's it going?
        I was wondering, how far inland does the Marine Layer in Australia extend? I think in California, it extends inland for 10-20 miles or so. The easiest way to tell if off-shore/Santa Ana winds  have hit just by looking at San Francisco's temp. They normally have(this time of year) in the mid-60sF, off-shore winds can push their high to the mid-80sF+.
       P.S. Due to the unique wx dynamics in our area; it seems we have a much greater chance of seeing sleet/ice/ice storm than we do of seeing accumulating Snowfall.(For anyone more knowledgable than I, why would this be?) THANKS!!! This wx list is the only one(and might be the ONLY one I'll be on--don't want too many "irons in the fire" or proliferate inconsequential local wx from a VERY SMALL global area).
      Have a :) day today, and a :) :) day tomorrow!   David Powell

Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hey all A question for the group as the coldies come ashore in Adelaide. Mr Herbert? Are there dynamical situations that would support the generation of a genuine meso (and presumably the possiblity or a 'real' tornado) in what we all call a "cold air Cb"? In saying this I am not talking about landspouts, or the kind of winter 'nader that we get in high shear frontal boundary environments. I am talking about the kind of Cb we get in cold pools. Low CAPE, low absolute moisture, very cold upper atmosphere and (presumably) a low tropopause etc etc. I am aware, of course, of the Leopold tornado last year, but my understanding is that that had some unusual meso-scale forcing (???). I guess what I am really asking is that anyone ever seen any meso-like LARGE SCALE rotation under a winter coldie?!!! Any takers?

Happy Day to All:
       I'm wondering: in ya'lls opinion, what was the craziest(most interesting) weather year in Australia? For me, in the US, in terms of contrast, the craziest year was the notorious drought/heatwave year of 1936. 5 states still have towns w/rec. minimum yearly rain from that year. State all-time High Temp. Records from 1936 still stand in 15 states. 2 States (N.D. & S.D.) ALSO set State all-time Low Temps. that year.
 N.D.: All-time High: 121F(49.4C) at Steele on July 6th, All-time Low: -60F(-51.1C) at Parshall on Feb. 15th.
S.D.: All-time High: 120F(48.8C) at Gannvalley on July 5th, All-time Low: -58F(-50.0C) at McIntosh on Feb. 17th.
Talk about a TEMPERATURE TURNAROUND!!!!!

They occur in the west and north. But these storms are quite violent and not your typical garden-variety coldie. And they tend to come associated with meseoscale features that have some very moist air associated with them. And you can be sure a storm was tornadic when clumps of sea weed are reported 10km inland as was the case with a storm last year. And I can't think why there would not be mesocyclones in the more active coldie storms. All the vital ingredients can be there. Why not?

Good Evening to All & Hello:
        Another wild US weather year (to me) was 1993. First of all, you have the great blizzard of March 12-15, which buried the Eastern/Northeastern US with snow up to 56IN(1,422.4mm)deep at Mt. LeConte, Tennessee; and closed every major airport from Atlanta northward.(Mena was on the fringe of the storm and only got flurries :(). The storm set several low baro. records, inc. 28.38"(961mb) at White Plains, N.Y.   Then you have the massive flooding on the upper Mississippi River from April-August, among the flood facts:
*June 13: 4IN(101.6mm)of rain in 1 hour at Lenox, Ia.
*June 22: Measurable rain falls somewhere in Iowa every day through July 25.
*Late June: The Mississippi River is closed to barge traffic for a 535MI(891.6km) stretch from St. Paul, Minn., to Cairo, Ill; stranding abt. 5,000 barges.
*July 10: 7IN(177.8mm) rain in 1 hour in Adrian, Minn.
*July: Worth County, Mo., has 30.3IN(769.6mm) rain during month, 90% of annual rain total.
    Have a really :)  :) week   THANKS & ENJOY David Powell

Hi Arky
There is a shallow underwater land ridge extending between Australia and NZ and 200 miles out east of our Wairarapa before dropping off onto the Pacific shelf. This means all Australians are really New Zealanders.

When federation of Aus NZ and the Islands was being considered in the late 1800's, NZ were very stand-off-ish.   They did not join when they had the chance, even up till the 11th hour.  The final federation planning conference was the 19-21 Apr. 1900 Premiers' Conference in Melbourne, convened to consider messages from UK PM Chamberlain and from the Australian colony federation conference delegates. The New Zealanders requested a number of amendments (notably that door should be left open to come in later on 'original States terms if she got round to seeing virtue (or advantage) in joining).

 Hey Everyone, How's it going?        I was wondering, how far inland does the Marine Layer in Australia extend? I think in California, it extends inland for 10-20 miles or so. The easiest way to tell if off-shore/Santa Ana winds  have hit just by looking at San Francisco's temp. They normally have(this time of year) in the mid-60sF, off-shore winds can push their high to the mid-80sF+.       P.S. Due to the unique wx dynamics in our area; it seems we have a much greater chance of seeing sleet/ice/ice storm than we do of seeing accumulating Snowfall.(For anyone more knowledgable than I, why would this be?) THANKS!!! This wx list is the only one(and might be the ONLY one I'll be on--don't want too many "irons in the fire" or proliferate inconsequential local wx from a VERY SMALL global area).      Have a :) day today, and a :) :) day tomorrow!   David Powell

Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi All. Douglas V. Hoyt's website, Greenhouse Warming: Fact, Hypothesis, or Myth?, at http://users.erols.com/dhoyt1/index.html raises some good questions concerning the global warming debate. In essense, he questions the quality of surface observational data that is usually used to support the argument that global warming is a 'fact', and also questions the reliability of computer models used to predict global warming trends. He presents a rather compelling case for contamination of surface temperature observations with the 'heat island' effects of our expanding population centres, so skewing the averages used to 'prove' significant global warming. When observations are filtered using only sites where there is not a lot of urban contamination, these show much smaller rises than those usually claimed, and he goes on to question the quality of those observations due to what he calls 'skyline' effects, where such things as additional buildings and trees growing over time effect the air flow and radiative qualities of rural sites. He also points out the Microwave Sounding Unit satellite observations and weather ballon observations show no net trend in atmospheric temperatures since 1979. Of particular interest regarding computer modelling is his page Greenhouse Warming Scorecard at http://users.erols.com/dhoyt1/annex2.htm which reveals just how poorly the models do with respect to observations. To summarize, I will paste a short excerpt from the first mentioned page: >Three Final Points > >There are three important points to make about the reported warming of the >last 20 years: > >1. The warming has occurred mostly at night and not during the day. This >result is inconsistent with a warming caused by greenhouse gases, but is >consistent with urban heat island and other surface effects. > >2. The reported warming has occurred only at the surface and not in the >upper atmosphere. This type of warming is completely opposite to what is >predicted if greenhouse gases are the cause. Again these observations are >consistent with problems in the surface measurements. > >3. The warming has occurred primarily in the Northern Hemisphere >mid-latitudes with little in the polar and tropical regions. This result >is consistent with urban influences, but is incompatible with the climate >warming predicted from greenhouse gases which predict it to be largest in >the polar regions. > >In short, the reported warming is inconsistent with warming due to >greenhouse gases in its temporal, vertical, and geographical distribution. >The reported warming is consistent with problems in the surface network. > Certainly some food for thought here!

Hello All:
       I have a question for EVERYBODY. How did you become interested in weather? I have been interested in weather for about 30 years. That, and railroads are just about my main hobbies. I am a wx nut due to the fact that weather IS ALWAYS CHANGING. I enjoy keeping up with global conditions, satellite loops, weather records of every kind, etc. As you can probably tell, my favorite TV channels are ESPN (ESPN2, FoxSportsNet) and The Weather Channel.(If they had a 24-hour AFL/Rugby channel, I would watch that, too). Unfortunately, for abt. 15 yrs. now, the previous week's weather(High/Low/6 P.M. Temp./Prec.) are no longer published in the MENA STAR.(since Dick St.John, the local wx observer died). Note: the Mena paper was named by A.W. St.John, naming it after the KANSAS CITY STAR, where his brother, Virgil, worked. The "backward" weather patterns of localities south of the equator (such as AUS/NZ) especially interest me.

I have been interested in weather since i can remember.. watching the normally dry Todd River in Alice Springs, flood through my backyard. It moved forward from there. My interest in "severe" weather stemmed when i moved from South Australia to Queensland in 1993. The very day i arrived i was greeted by a Supercell and it followed from there, however it really took off in December 1998 when a late night tornadic supercell struck my property here at Jimboomba, winds sustained for over 7 mins, in excess of 120km/h. This was the night i could see a vortex of rain spinning through my front yard, through the lightning which was striking every object you can think of, practically every second. The winds were so severe the whole southern side of the house's wall, bowed inwards and i could truly feel myself being sucked literally, off my front verandah. Many trees were snapped clean in 2, power & phone lines torn down. Massive damage sustained here and all around, figures in $ skyrocketed. This was what made me extremely interested, that and past generations of my family involved in Meteorology and Aviation. Regards.

Actually it has become a Typhoon (Noguri), while Tropical Storm Boris hovers off the Mexican Coastline.
 
A rapid shift to the northern hemisphere - I think you will agree.

Hello Everyone
 
We have been away for a few days and returned last night to Gale Force winds but not a lot of rain.
There is a Storm Warning out for coastal waters south of us.
 It is interesting to see the temperature so constant in these strong winds.

Mail server's been down since Friday so just starting to catch up now. Noguri started as a TCFA less than 200km from here - we were all wondering whether the HKO would hoist typhoon signals or not - they didn't. We copped some close to gale-force winds during the spin-up, but by the time JTWC had called it 07W, the winds here had dropped. As it intensified it appeared set on hitting Taiwan. The people on Taiwan must have prayed. It stayed well south and then kind of swung around Taiwan and headed directly for Okinawa. They must have prayed there as well, because it unexpectedly swung left and went up the middle halfway between Taiwan and Okinawa. Now it seems to be headed straight towards Japan in order to interrupt the World Cup matches. As usual I have all the relevant links gathered together at http://www.drdisk.com.hk/cyclones.htm to make life easier while following it.

My grandfather always used to tell me the story of the day a tornado struck our house while I was asleep as a baby in the pram in the front room. The tornado removed the roof, ceiling, walls, and every stick of furniture, leaving only one item behind on the concrete slab floor - my pram, with yours truly still fast asleep inside and the mosquito net still neatly in place draped over it. He always reckoned that the tornado started my interest in weather which I have had ever since. Since I was a kid I have always loved to be in a thunderstorm - the wilder the better. Around the beginning of the sixties I glanced up one day and saw my first funnel cloud. From then on I kept scanning the sky during storms and was rewarded with many more sightings. Read my account of the Tornado at Tom's Bridge at http://www.drdisk.com.hk/tornado.htm for just one of them. While I would read articles that came my way about cyclones, tropical storms etc., my real interest in them developed when I moved to Hong Kong in the late eighties. Within weeks of my arrival Typhoon Brenda hit us causing a Number Eight Typhoon Signal to be hoisted for a day and bringing the whole of Hong Kong to a standstill. I was hooked on following TCs from then on. By the middle nineties I had developed a website for my company, but couldn't be satisfied with it until it also contained various typhoons and weather pages which all start from http://www.drdisk.com.hk/cyclones.htm and you can just while away the day clicking into various areas from there.

Hi Arky (and all)
 
I often tell people my interest in the weather began when I was probably about 10 or less (I don't exactly know) but one thing I remembered was listening to American composer Ferde Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite which contains (as some other classical music does) a description of a thunderstorm..in the Grand Canyon of course. The story goes that I used to sit right up close to an old gramophone that we had, listening to a 78 rpm recording of this music, as this thunderstorm progressed, complete with thunder, lightning and severe wind squalls. These composers seem to have been pretty observant of these events..even Beethoven got it right in his 'Pastoral' Symphony (No.6) with the storm retreating into the distance, also Debussy in his 'Gardens under the rain' (a piano solo), decsribing a thunderstorm clearing the sultry summer Parisian atmosphere.
I don't think I've ever heard of a musical tornado, however Liszt's 'Dante' sonata contains a close approximation, as Francesca da Rimini and her lover are buffeted by the cyclonic winds of the Second Circle of Hell (as in Dante's 'Inferno').
Now, for those few of you who like classical music, there's something to sharpen the appetite!
Later I would be telling the kids down the street that on a windy day the clouds were moving past the earth, not the other way around, as they supposed....
That's about as far as I ever got with meteorology, apart from developing a fanatical interest in analysing the data, in more recent years.

Hello All:
       I have a question for EVERYBODY. How did you become interested in weather? I have been interested in weather for about 30 years. That, and railroads are just about my main hobbies. I am a wx nut due to the fact that weather IS ALWAYS CHANGING. I enjoy keeping up with global conditions, satellite loops, weather records of every kind, etc. As you can probably tell, my favorite TV channels are ESPN (ESPN2, FoxSportsNet) and The Weather Channel.(If they had a 24-hour AFL/Rugby channel, I would watch that, too). Unfortunately, for abt. 15 yrs. now, the previous week's weather(High/Low/6 P.M. Temp./Prec.) are no longer published in the MENA STAR.(since Dick St.John, the local wx observer died). Note: the Mena paper was named by A.W. St.John, naming it after the KANSAS CITY STAR, where his brother, Virgil, worked. The "backward" weather patterns of localities south of the equator (such as AUS/NZ) especially interest me.

Hello:
    Wishing everyone a smashing week:
     I was wondering, do towns in AUS/NZ etc. stay below freezing for more than a day at a time? A few Arctic airmasses have gripped Mena with a few consecutive below freezing days. One of the longest recent stretches of such was: the temps. in Mena stayed below freezing from abt. 12:30 A.M. on Dec. 15 to around 12NOON on Dec. 20, 1989,  something like 131 and 1/2 straight hours. Mena's lowest Max.(that I know of) was a High of 12F(-11.1C) on Dec. 22, 1989. Thankfully, Mena doesn't experience stretches like this very often. What was the Lowest Max. temperature that ya'll know of there?  THANKS & Have a good one   David Powell

Dear All:
      Upon advisement, from time to time, I'll post some late-breaking US weather happenings. Today, June 9th: Fire season has started in California, with blazes not far from L.A., this is accompanying record high temps. Believe it or not, parts of Northern Montana and Idaho have a HEAVY SNOW WARNING(up to 2 more FEET accumulation, WHERE'S SPRING?)., a 3.0 earthquake in west-central California and a 3.9 'quake in Southern Alaska. We here are enjoying the humid muggies with a 50-50 chance of t'storms as a cold front is on the way. Highs in Montana were abt. 25-30F below normal. The Southwest desert locations (Phoenix, Death Valley, etc.) are now regularly topping 100F daily. The rest of the US has rather unremarkable wx.
        Until next time        David Powell       Wishing ALL a top-shelf week.

Virtually all of the US, except southern Florida and most of Hawaii have had SNOW.  The Fla. record is 2"(50.8mm) at Milton.The US Record for 12-month Snowfall is a little over 1,000IN(25,400mm) at Paradise Ranger Station on the slopes of Mt. Rainier in Washington state. The highest annual average is 240.8IN(6,116.3mm) at the ski resort of Blue Canyon, California. I've always wondered what it would be like to live near one of the Great Lakes--where you're assured a "white" Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc, etc. But it SNOWS so much there, that the people are sick of it. Here, we get so little of it, it is still an event much anticipated. ASIDE from Thredbo Village, what would be the SNOWIEST town in AUS/NZ etc.
         Your Ark. SNOW lover    David Powell

Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi Phil, You certainly can get mesocyclones in "cold air Cbs," even the Bureau classifies them (cold air supercells). I think though because the size of a "coldie" is a lot smaller than a normal storm, so is everything else respectively. So your rotating updraft is smaller - but it can still be a mesocyclone. Similarly, I remember a discussion on this list a long time ago about whether mesocyclones could occur in a simple convective shower. Really, there is very little difference between a convective shower and a thunderstorm - it's simply a matter of scaling. Convective showers tend to be short lived and pulsey however, so that goes against the formation of a somewhat more stable and long-lived phenomenon (mesocyclones). But IMO they still occur even in showers! AC Phil Bagust wrote: > > Hey all > > A question for the group as the coldies come ashore in Adelaide.

Hello from the county seat & largest town in Polk County:
      The solar eclipse began here at 7:27 P.M. Central Time. Around 7:42 P.M. I hurriedly viewed the eclipse through a pair of dark sunshades. About 15% or so of the sun was gone. Unfortunately, the eclipse occurred less than an hour before sunset, and with trees and low hills to our west, Mom and I had to go into town(a few blocks away) to get a good look at it. The few clouds cleared out about 45 mins. before event began. Usually we miss most of the major eclipse activity  here in Ark.

THANKS & Have a good one David = > Powell Sub-freezing maxima are reasonably common in winter at mountain sites but are virtually unknown elsewhere. The only exception in recent times was the cold outbreak of 3-4 July 1984. This produced temperatures below 0 C for an unbroken 36 hours at Armidale (900m) - although as this spell lasted from one morning to the following evening there was no daily maximum below 0 (it was above 0 early on the 3rd and then late on the 4th). Millthorpe (also at about 900m, west of Bathurst) had a maximum of -0.3 C - as far as I know the only such occurrence at a mainland Australian site below 1000m elevation - and Guyra -0.5 C. There were unofficial reports of maxima as low as -7 C at Adaminaby (1050m) in June 1946 (anticyclone over snow cover), but there are no official observations to back this up (having said that, there is less that can go wrong with an observation of extreme low maxima than with low minima or high maxima, so I'd give it at least some credence). The lowest official maximum I am aware of at any Australian site is -6.9 at Crackenback (1950m) on 9 July 1978. I imagine the 1901 cold outbreak (which I describe in another post) would have had temperatures at least as low as those of 1984, given the snow associated with it; unfortunately we have few digitised temperature observations from that period, and the key site of Bathurst did not report on the coldest day, 28 July (which was a Sunday; the majority of sites in those days didn't report on Sundays).

SNOW lover David Powell The most notable snow events in eastern Australia have probably been those of 5 July 1900 and 27-28 July 1901 - the former for its intensity, the latter for the area it covered. The 1900 event was reasonably localised but remarkably heavy in the areas which it affected. There were falls of >1 metre between Lithgow and Bathurst, 50-60cm at Bathurst and 20-25cm at Forbes (which is only about 200 metres above sea level). This event does not appear to have been the result of a 'classical' cold outbreak, but rather a small upper-level cold pool on the western flank of an east coast low. (Of course there are no upper-air observations or analyses from then, but the localised nature of the snow tends to reinforce this conclusion - Queanbeyan, for example, had very heavy rain (second wettest July day on record) but no snow). The 1901 event was far more extensive - snow fell over large areas of inland New South Wales (probably somewhere between 50% and 70% of NSW was under snow at some point), and parts of Victoria, South Australia and southern Queensland. This appears to have been a more classical 'southwesterly' cold outbreak of a similar type to the better-known 1984 event. In Western Australia the most significant snowfalls were those of June 1956, but even then coverage was fairly patchy. In summary: most of Australia south of about latitude 30 S (extending to 25 S on higher ground, such as around Alice Springs or the northern NSW/southern Queensland ranges) would have experienced falling (if not lying) snow at some time in the last 200 years, but it is an extremely rare event except at high elevations. The 1 day/year snowfall contour would be at about 900-1000 metres in northern NSW, 600 metres in central and southern NSW, 400-500 metres in Victoria and 200-300 metres in Tasmania. Melbourne (38 S, sea level) has falling snow about once every 20-30 years (most recently in September 1995), but has only had significant lying snow in the city centre once since European settlement.

I rose at 05:00 to the roar of thunder and incessant lightning. I checked the sky and observed 8/8 heavy cloud cover and very heavy rain. When the time came for official sunrise the sky was still almost dark. I don't know how much of the darkness was due to the eclipse above the clouds and how much was due to the clouds themselves. At 06:25 the Observatory hoisted the Amber Rainstorm Signal and it remains hoisted now. It is now more than four hours since sunrise and the sky is so dark that the street lights have all come on again. I am enjoying hearing the rolls of thunder as I work, but would not relish having to try and walk anywhere outside at the moment. Temperature is currently 24.9C and RH is 97%; the wind is 8 km/h from the S and the pressure is 1008.0 hPa. So the eclipse all happened out of sight for us Hongkongers. That's okay I still have great memories of the Total eclipse near Melbourne about a quarter-century ago. It was a real beauty and an absolutely unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime event.

Hotham Heights has the Highest through road in Australia which the Country Roads Board (CRB) tries to keep open by use of snowploughs. Some winters the roads remain open, some winters they don't, so you always have to check with the CRB or the police if you are driving through the area in winter. That's a beautiful road - from Harrietville via Hotham Heights to Omeo - which I have driven during just about every month of the year at one time or another, so if you ever come to visit Oz, Arky, you should really take the time to go through there. If you mean by the SNOWIEST, which town has the greatest snowfalls, someone else on the list will have to answer that; I've been away from Oz for too long.

But I must tell you about the coldest day of my life. We had been in Houston Tx for about two weeks and decided to ride the motorbike down to Galveston on the Saturday just because we wanted to see the place Elvis used to sing about. Nobody warned us about a "Texas Blue Norther". When Saturday came around the sky was bright blue from one horizon to the other and the sun was streaming down, so although it was winter (January) we just put on our Belstaff jackets over our shirts, threw out swimming costumes and towels in the panniers (well, we were going to the Gulf of Mexico, right?), and started the bike and headed south. Barelling along I-45, we started saying to each other, "Do you feel a little cold this morning?" As we approached Galveston there were puddles along the roadside which looked very strange. We stopped and looked at one and it was just solid ice! We arrived at Galveston and headed to the nearest McDonalds to thaw out a bit. The Highway Patrol were in there also thawing out and told us we were mad to be out on a motorbike in this weather. It turned out that the maximum temperature in Galveston that day was 32F and that this was the coldest day that had ever been recorded there since the first Spanish settlement more than 350 years earlier. Now I have been in conditions where the measured temperature was much lower than that, but that was definitely the coldest I ever felt.

Hello! :) To Everyone:
        When Mena enters the Summer doldrums, we are influenced by the westward extension of the Bermuda High. When firmly in place, rain stops, the ground really dries out and the temps. climb toward 100F. The rain (thunderstorms) are well to our West and North skirting the High pressure dome(as if on a conveyor belt). The somewhat semicircular path of t'storm activity is known as the "Ring of Fire".(Such a prolonged occurrence led to the vast flood problems in the upper Midwest area in 1993). Does AUS/NZ etc. have this occurrence? It sometimes takes a powerful cold front to break through the High pressure dome. When we enter a heatwave, it would be due to this., nevertheless we usually get at least small amounts of rain from heating/instability showers.

Dear Ever'one:
        Hello! I was wondering: What was the most widespread (in coverage) SNOW event in AUS/NZ  etc.? Virtually all of the US, except southern Florida and most of Hawaii have had SNOW.  The Fla. record is 2"(50.8mm) at Milton.The US Record for 12-month Snowfall is a little over 1,000IN(25,400mm) at Paradise Ranger Station on the slopes of Mt. Rainier in Washington state. The highest annual average is 240.8IN(6,116.3mm) at the ski resort of Blue Canyon, California. I've always wondered what it would be like to live near one of the Great Lakes--where you're assured a "white" Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc, etc. But it SNOWS so much there, that the people are sick of it. Here, we get so little of it, it is still an event much anticipated. ASIDE from Thredbo Village, what would be the SNOWIEST town in AUS/NZ etc.

Regarding the Tom's Bridge tornado, I did not feel in danger as I could see its sideways movement relative to me and therefore knew it was not approaching me. However, when I got within a few hundred metres and all the airborne debris started raining down from the sky all around me, I felt very glad I had taken the time to don my World-War-Two flying suit, goggles and heavy mittens and boots, although when it was all over I was not actually hit by anything of any size. If I had read as much then as I have now about how deadly and destructive tornados can be, I am sure I would not have approached quite so close to it.

Hello:
       Just another ques. before I hit the hay. I was watching a TV show about Australia(mabye a Steve Irwin special). I just got in on the tail end of a fellow saying that Rabbit Flat in the NT had just about the lowest annual rainfall of anyplace in AUS. I missed the amt. of annual rain. How much would it be? Is Rabbit Flat the driest town in Australia? How about the driest town in NZ, etc.? On average, the driest town in the US is Yuma, Arizona, with 2.7IN(68.5mm)yearly.

Happy Day to All:
      I was wondering: How do Aus/NZ etc. radio stations get their call letters? Here, in the US, radio stations west of the Mississippi usually have call letters starting with "K", eastern stations usually start with "W". Sometimes the call letters fit the area where the station broadcasts from:
       *KCKN(Kansas City, Kansas,= abbr. for Kansas City + old abbr. for Kansas.
        *KCMO(Kansas City, Missouri, + abbr. for Missouri)
        *WACO(Waco, Texas)
         *WLS(Chicago, Illinois--sta. owned by Sears--W[orlds] L[argest] S[tore]).
         *KHOG(Fayetteville, Ark.--in city of the University of Arkansas--the university's sports teams' nickname is the RAZORBACKS, also known as the HOGS).
          *KARK(Little Rock, Ark. "K" + abbr. for Arkansas).
Exceptions to the west/east of the Mississippi naming pattern include: KDKA(Pittsburgh, Pa.--US' oldest radio sta. broadcasting since 1920) and WOAI (San Antonio, Tex.)

Hello Everyone
 
I noticed thunderstorms around 2.30amEST and they continued through to 7am. Lightening at a rate of one a minute and it was interesting to see the rain increase in intensity  for a short time with each close strike.
It is a pity the lightning detector was not working.

I was watching a TV show about Australia(mabye a Steve Irwin special). I just got in on the tail end of a fellow saying that Rabbit Flat in the NT had just about the lowest annual rainfall of anyplace in AUS. I missed the amt. of annual rain. How much would it be? Is Rabbit Flat the driest town in Australia? How about the driest town in NZ, etc.? On average, the driest town in the US is Yuma, Arizona, with 2.7IN(68.5mm)yearly.

Traditionally the lowest Australian mean rainfalls were believed to be around 100mm/year, in the Lake Eyre region and northwards. In practice it appears that those stations which did have averages around 100mm either suffered from chronic under-reporting of small rainfall amounts, or had short periods of record through decades which happened to be dry (remember that in a station with 30 years of observations, a single 300-millimetre month like February 1976, March 1989 or February 1997 will add 10mm to the mean, which is a lot when you're looking at 100mm/year), or both. If one defines 'town' as a place permanently inhabited by more people than those directly attached to an individual farm, roadhouse etc., then you're looking at places like Coober Pedy, Oodnadatta, Marree and Birdsville, all of which have long-term means in the 150-170mm range. Coober Pedy's mean of 157mm is currently the lowest of these four, but I would not view the difference as statistically significant. (I also note that Rabbit Flat wouldn't be considered a town under this definition - as I understand it it is a roadhouse). I haven't analysed all the 'dry' stations in depth, but I would be surprised if any point existed in Australia which averaged lower than 130mm over the last 100 years (not that this proposition can be tested because of the lack of suitable data).

Hello Wx Mates:
       Another Update.....The biggest wildfire in Colorado history is threatening the southern suburbs of Denver....residents in the area may have to evacuate...4 years of drought and Westerly upsloping winds are hampering situation. RED FLAG FIRE ALERTS in effect for parts of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona and Northern California...an early & intense jump on the Summer fire season...
       P.S. If I oversimplify and excessively explain my posts it is due to the fact that I don't know just exactly how much wx info, from the U.S. that ya'll know about. Aside from the Weather Page in the newspaper, brief Aus. temp. forecasts from the Weather Channel, and this wx-post, (+Sig Wx Summary & Daily Extremes Sites) I get next to no info. on AUS/NZ weather. So, all of the info. that you give me is extremely interesting and MUCH appreciated.

Hi Arky,
 
I am well aware of the Bermuda High, even back in the 1970's when I was a grommet ( young surfer ) I used to read in the surfing mags how the Bermuda high was the bane of East Coast USA surfers, it simply did not generate surf  - although the huge continental shelf on the USA East Coast does not help either.
 
Here in Australia we are lucky that in summer our high pressure systems are generally fairly weak and alternate with troughs every 2 to 10 days. Autumn and early winter can however see what we call blocking highs, very large usually 1030 upwards high that sit stationary for days, or even weeks. Depending on position, for the SE  you may get fine sunny weather or relentless cool southerly winds.
 
Michael

Subject: aus-wx: RING OF FIRE

Hello! :) To Everyone:
        When Mena enters the Summer doldrums, we are influenced by the westward extension of the Bermuda High. When firmly in place, rain stops, the ground really dries out and the temps. climb toward 100F. The rain (thunderstorms) are well to our West and North skirting the High pressure dome(as if on a conveyor belt). The somewhat semicircular path of t'storm activity is known as the "Ring of Fire".(Such a prolonged occurrence led to the vast flood problems in the upper Midwest area in 1993). Does AUS/NZ etc. have this occurrence? It sometimes takes a powerful cold front to break through the High pressure dome. When we enter a heatwave, it would be due to this., nevertheless we usually get at least small amounts of rain from heating/instability showers.

As the others have noted Rabbit Flat is far from the driest, in fact they grow wheat in parts Western Australia on less rainfall. Rabbit Flat is too far north to be the driest, being north gives it some monsoon low influence.
 
The other claim to fame of this place is it supposed to have the most expensive petrol in Australia. Not really surprising given the location.

Subject: aus-wx: RABBIT FLAT

Hello:
       Just another ques. before I hit the hay. I was watching a TV show about Australia(mabye a Steve Irwin special). I just got in on the tail end of a fellow saying that Rabbit Flat in the NT had just about the lowest annual rainfall of anyplace in AUS. I missed the amt. of annual rain. How much would it be? Is Rabbit Flat the driest town in Australia? How about the driest town in NZ, etc.? On average, the driest town in the US is Yuma, Arizona, with 2.7IN(68.5mm)yearly.

'Evening All:
         Another question befor I hop the last train to the Land-O'-Nod:
How far away can you pick up static crashes(from lightning) on a car radio? I spend a lot of time in my car and when listening to the car radio(usually baseball/football games) I can pick up static crashes from storms that are A HUNDRED OR MORE MILES away. Does this depend on where I am or where the radio station I'm listening to is?(It will be fairweather here, I'll hear static crashes, I'll go home, turn on The Weather Channel and find out that the storms aren't even close to us).EXASPERATING!!!!!

Hello Wx Mates:
       Another Update.....The biggest wildfire in Colorado history is threatening the southern suburbs of Denver....residents in the area may have to evacuate...4 years of drought and Westerly upsloping winds are hampering situation. RED FLAG FIRE ALERTS in effect for parts of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona and Northern California...an early & intense jump on the Summer fire season...
       P.S. If I oversimplify and excessively explain my posts it is due to the fact that I don't know just exactly how much wx info, from the U.S. that ya'll know about. Aside from the Weather Page in the newspaper, brief Aus. temp. forecasts from the Weather Channel, and this wx-post, (+Sig Wx Summary & Daily Extremes Sites) I get next to no info. on AUS/NZ weather. So, all of the info. that you give me is extremely interesting and MUCH appreciated.

Please come to Victoria,.....    Victoria turned on some dynamic atmospherics this afternoon as the surface started warming and the upper layers started cooling, as the day max exploded up to 18.8c! (you don't need much heat down here in June), islands of congesting cumulus grew rapidly west of Melbourne, within an hour there were multicells over most of west central and western Victoria......My first impression on leaving Melbourne about 1500hrs ...Gees!!! look at that structure on the Anvil west of Melbourne,this magnificent streaming anvil was curving around a large and vigorous storm west of Geelong.....Things got better, soon after passing Werribee and near the You Yang's hills, what shows up!, a splendid rain free base and a wall cloud scuttling along behind a fast moving rainshaft, these storms were very fast movers (at least 80kph moving from west to east). My Lightning detector was starting to work overtime with rapidly increasing discharges (low AM Band),CGs were visible through the rain shafts and a few clear air bits as well (putting a leg out of bed!). I drove through a small core at Little river with council workers running for cover under a large gum tree,( I thought of going back to warn them of the potential dangers but a close CG in a nearby field sent them racing for their lolly pop truck). Soon I was through the rain core and on to Lara just in time to see a large fast moving  multi cell over Corio with a curios curved infeed band on its rear end and fast rising scud joining the ever darkening base,this was a fierce updraft with strong and surprisingly straight CGs appearing every few seconds,there was an occasional loud boom and then within a few hundred meters I was into flash flooding,water everywhere!. As I approached Corio I noticed an odd brightness to the fields despite the very gloomy conditions, the brightness was mounds of hail, piles of it, fields were covered like snow, hail drifts in gutters and on roofs,at  the core of the hail swath there was the spooky hail fog,roof gutters hung low and some had collapsed, even trees had hail piled in forks,Kids were out throwing, shovelling and making hail Anthony's. I pulled over and set to playing myself what a sight!,off to the east the receding severe multicell had and organised infeed band and wall cloud and a rain/hail shaft trailing off to the southeast,......I checked my watch..is this June!!!!....The storm structures were interesting showing very strong updrafts between 800hpa and 500hpa the anvils were some of the best I have seen, very sharp edges.....Rain, Rain , come and stay, come and stay another day!....regards Clyve Herbert......whoopee.

Clyve,
 
That's a great chase report!!!  Especially for those of us who firstly had to watch it all unfold from the roof & then only managed to escape just as the storm was overhead ......but some great cc's & cg's!!  Moving incredibly fast !!
 
This radar loop was from about that time today http://www.stormchasers.au.com/Jun02/radar0612.gif
 
I'll put up a few more satellite images to go with this.

I pulled over and set to playing myself what a sight!,off to the east the receding severe multicell had and organised infeed band and wall cloud and a rain/hail shaft trailing off to the southeast,......I checked my watch..is this June!!!!....The storm structures were interesting showing very strong updrafts between 800hpa and 500hpa the anvils were some of the best I have seen, very sharp edges.....Rain, Rain , come and stay, come and stay another day!....regards Clyve Herbert......whoopee.

Hi Greg.
Pardon my explanation, its not 'scientific really' I spotted a secondary vorticity area as described over western Vic (this evening) to the north of the primary centre near the southwest of Tasmania. These secondary vorticty areas often do not often last long and dissipate or become absorbed into the primary low,they tend to move at other times around the primary centre sometimes doing a complete circle, just like one did in late May, after rotating around a strong primary centre southeast of Tasmania and then moving up the west coast of Tasmania and across Bass Strait making land fall near Wilson's Prom.I call these ankle biters....all for fun  regards Clyve Herbert.

Hello Wx Mates:
       Another Update.....The biggest wildfire in Colorado history is threatening the southern suburbs of Denver....residents in the area may have to evacuate...4 years of drought and Westerly upsloping winds are hampering situation. RED FLAG FIRE ALERTS in effect for parts of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona and Northern California...an early & intense jump on the Summer fire season...
       P.S. If I oversimplify and excessively explain my posts it is due to the fact that I don't know just exactly how much wx info, from the U.S. that ya'll know about. Aside from the Weather Page in the newspaper, brief Aus. temp. forecasts from the Weather Channel, and this wx-post, (+Sig Wx Summary & Daily Extremes Sites) I get next to no info. on AUS/NZ weather.

Hello to all you wonderful wx Mates:
       MANY THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR HELPFUL ANSWERS!
I was just thinking...Instead of a number prefix for Aus. Rad. Sta. call letters; how about the FIRST letter in the call name be the first letter of the state of broadcast(the FIRST TWO letters in the case of NSW & NT), and the last 2 or 3 letters would relate to the stations' location. You might wind up with something like this:
       *WNEW(Newdegate, W.A.)
        *NOMA(Maningrida, N.T.)
        *SAND(Andamooka, S.A.)
        *QWIN(Windorah, QLD.)
        *NEAR(Armidale, N.S.W.)
        *ACAN(Canberra, A.C.T.)
         *VSHE(Shepparton, VIC.)
          *TWYN(Wynyard, TAS.)
My favorite US call letters are WXYZ(Detroit, MI.); WWWE "3WE"(Cleveland,OH.)KING(Seattle,WA.) and, of course, the station in Stuttgart, Ark.--the duck hunting capital of the Eastern Arkansas Delta--is KWAK.    Enjoy     David Powell

I recorded a record wind speed of 33.8 KPH this morning at 10:48 am on my weather station. The wind is very warm & dry but my weather stations outlook is saying rain. Another cold front is coming. Who thinks a trip up to Oberon for snow chasing should be organised in the next couple of days?

Dear Mr. Williams:
        Hello to you. I want to compliment you on your weather page. I have visited it(along with the Sig Wx Summary site)countless times. It really satisfied my hunger for wx info. from the faraway, mysterious land of Australia. BTW, how did you become interested in weather? Well, just wanted you to know how much I enjoy the Aus. Wx News & Links Page. HIP-HIP-HOORAY to you.

Hello! :):) Day to All:
        I was wondering: What was the worst year for bushfires in Australia? What year had the least bushfires? A few years ago, here, the Forest Service was doing controlled burns not far from town. The smoke really diffused the sunlight. So(stupidly! only for a few seconds) I glanced at the sun with a pair of binoculars, I actually saw about 7 sunspots. I think in 1963 there was a forest fire near Eagleton(abt. 12MI NW of us) which was caused by an overheated journal from a passing freight train. I do not know how big it became or how close to Mena it got; but it's the only time I know of an uncontrolled forest fire in our area. Rarely we get dust blowing through town(carried on Westerly winds from very dry neighboring areas in Oklahoma).

Hi Everyone:
        Fire update.....the forestfire in Colorado has consumed 136 SQ MI....is within 15-20MI South of Denver....on satellite pictures Westerly winds are blowing the smoke all the way into Kansas...about 50 homes are burned...fire is so large, it's being treated as 2 separate fires.

Interesting how Nimmitabel receives the most snow but receives the least rain out of 'all' those towns??
Also Orange receives more snow than Katoomba which is 82m higher, but less rain, & it's further North??
It also seems that the top ridge of the mtns receives more rain than lower parts. But I was taught in geography that clouds dump their rain as they 'approach' the mountains, then loose most of their rain while climbing the mountains. This theory doesn't seem to be true along the Great Divide. Tully is an exception of course.

I don't think the Nimmitabel snowfall data is terribly representative - it only has 11 years of data, including three very big years for lowish- elevation snow, 1965, 1966 and 1968. 5-6 days/year is probably a more realistic long-term average for them. (In contrast, your Oberon figure is too low, probably because Oberon only observed weekdays for much of the time; more recent data suggests an average of around 12-15 days/year). The apparent Orange-Katoomba paradox is explained by their relative aspects - Orange is highly exposed to the W and SW, Katoomba to the E. Katoomba gets a lot of its rain in easterlies, which are often too warm for snow; Orange is ideally situated for the colder W and SW airstreams. (Also, westerlies are most common in winter; August is the wettest month of the year in Orange but one of the driest in Katoomba, and while Orange is much drier than Katoomba over the year as a whole, it is wetter in the months from July to October). As for snowiest town, it depends what you call a 'town'. Cabramurra has traditionally claimed to be the highest 'town' in Australia (and by extension would have the highest snowfall), but these days I'd argue that Perisher Valley and Falls Creek have at least as much claim to being a town as Cabramurra does (all three have permanent populations of a couple of hundred). Alpine resorts aside, I can't think of any centres with population > 100 above 800 metres in Victoria, or above 500 metres in Tasmania. > It also seems that the top ridge of the mtns receives more rain than = > lower parts. But I was taught in geography that clouds dump their rain = > as they 'approach' the mountains, then loose most of their rain while = > climbing the mountains. This theory doesn't seem to be true along the = > Great Divide. Tully is an exception of course. The air is still rising (with moisture condesing, and ultimately falling) until the point at which the airstream crosses the crest of the range (and sometimes slightly beyond). There is some evidence to suggest that, if the range is high enough, there is an altitude beyond which precipitation starts to decline (an NZ study suggests that the peak was reached at about 1200m) but most Australian ranges aren't high enough to test this. And Tully isn't an exception - the summit of Bellenden Ker gets almost twice as much rain as Tully does.

Hi,
Thanks for that very interesting summary. I assume a snow day is a day with falling snow reported as opposed to a day
of snow lying.
 
The NZ winter resort of Queenstown is only at 330m (12.1 snow days). NZ highest town is Waiouru 823m 19.5 snow days.
The highest manned weather station in NZ is Ski basin 1554m 76.1 snow days.
 
Cheers

Have they built the giant gumboot in Tully yet?
 
One of the reasons mentioned (locally, by those 'in the know' in TNQ) for Tully's high rainfall is that it is surrounded on three sides (N,W and E) by hills/mountains.  Normally this would suggest a rainshadow effect - probably, however, the eminence to the east is insufficient to take the grunt out of the easterlies.
 
On a completely unrelated topic, it's amazing how of all the main roads between capital cities in Australia, the one most likely to get blocked/closed because of snow, is that between Sydney and Brisbane.  Fill that under useless trivia!
 
Again unrelated, I was amused by the complete weather illiteracy of the motor racing TV commentators last weekend, during the local V8 hoonfest, when they looked out to dark clouds gathering over the Brindabellas and were convinced a deluge was headed their way.  Of course, like 90% of all such non events, the centre of Canberra and the rev heads remained dry.

Evening all.
A rather interesting synoptic set-up over Australia with the southern ocean belt of low pressure 'piggy backing over a strengthening high at almost 60 south., which has displaced low pressure systems northward and closer to the Australian mainland.It will be interesting to see how low pressure will get over southeast Aus over the next several days. Hi Blair do you know what the lowest pressure has been over Victoria in recordable history,a figure of 978 comes to mind for Melbourne?..regards Clyve H.

Hi Damian,
You must have a very sheltered site as we record max gusts up to 50 km/hr at least twice a month and reached 118 km /hr in August a few years ago.Over the last few days we have recorded 50 km /hr each day thanks to a strong northwest flow .Actually the Brindabella Ranges some 60 km west of us cause a reversal of wind at our site at times when lee waves come down to the surface. We are 661 metres ASL the Brindabellas are around 1400 metres. Unfortunately our AWS is still being repaired in the US because of Power supply problems but we have many records of this wind reversal in strong Westerlies.

I recorded a record wind speed of 33.8 KPH this morning at 10:48 am on my weather station. The wind is very warm & dry but my weather stations outlook is saying rain. Another cold front is coming. Who thinks a trip up to Oberon for snow chasing should be organised in the next couple of days?

Hi all,
 
Went to Dick Smiths Electronics this afternoon & got them to swap over my outdoor temp/humidity sensor from my weather station (WM-918) for a new one. I've been having some wild readings over the last couple of days. My WX station even claimed it got down to  -19.8C the other day (but only for a couple of seconds.. a real quick cold snap!  ;)
 
The staff at DSE were surprised to here that there seemed to be a history of problems with this sensor. They said they will send the old sensor off to be checked and will let me know if they find anything wrong with it (may take up to 4 weeks). Should be interesting.
 
Just hope the new sensor lasts a lot longer then the old one & that the problem *was* only the sensor & not somewhere/something else...

So far the top speed my WX station (WM-918) has recorded in the 2 months I've had it is 54.4km/h on the 7 June and yesterday during a storm here in Adelaide it got to 45.7km/h at my place (but i did get a rainfall rate of 245mm/h during that storm) 
 
So what's some of the big Max/Min in temp, wind, rain rate/fall etc that everyone has recorded on *their* home WX stations???

Hi,
 
To my area in Golden Grove, the record from our Davis WMII Complete weather station:
Highest Max 44.8C but the sensor was under the eaved, so it will be unaccurate reading but while then Parafield Airport reached 45.8C that day. Sensor was then moved to the backyard in the radiation shield 6 ft above the ground on 4th/5th of May 2001. Lowest Min 2.7C on 7th of July 2001. Sensor again moved to the above verandah transparency roof for better airflow away from crowding backyard with gardens and fence which obstructed it and caused humidity reading to be too high this year by April. Highest wind gust on record here was 36.5 knots (67.6 kph) on 6th of October 2001 and max one minute mean wind speed 26.1 knots (48.3 kph) on 6th of October 2001. Wind speed taken from anemometer at the top of 10m pole since 29th of June 2001. Davis WMII do not record rain rate. We are going to upgrade to vantage pro soon with more new feature included rain rate.
 
Last 2 squall line this month. First was 35 knots top gust while second one this week was 36 knots top gust. Rain rate taken from weather display software. 1st 72mm/hr, 2nd 80mm/hr. (Peak highest rain rate due to 0.2mm resolution though).
 
Highest one minute rainfall since was 2.4mm, which is 144mm/hr.
 
By the way, here you go with the record I have. Have fun with the weather station.
 
From Nathan.

Just started raining again and the temperature is now falling slowly... I suspect warm fronts are under forcasted in Australia - perhaps the public charts are simplified to avoid confusion. Then again I have read somewhere that many Australian cold fronts, especially the types that circulate around cut-offs, are actually occlusions. Comments? Looks like a wild w/e in Adelaide. Lots of cold air action in the last 3 weeks including 2 cold air thunderstorms. Shaping up as the best WX start to winter in years here, and we are slowly making up our rather large rain deficit with possibly another 30mm+ to come this weekend. p.s. great reports from you guys re the storms in Vic the other day.

Since then, I have usually managed to be in a different state that the one which was burning during all the worst fire outbreaks. However, in early (January?, February?) 1965 I was working at Traralgon in Gippsland when the call came through: "All of East Gippsland is ablaze; every able-bodied man is required to go and fight it." My dad, apart from being a trained fireman, was also the Gippsland manager for Pioneer Concrete, so he arranged for all of the concrete agitator trucks to be filled with water and headed for the fires. We set up a two-way radio base station and generator in the back of the Holden ute and headed off with all of the trucks. It was Thursday evening. We went first to Bairnsdale where we had heard before leaving that there were terrible fires, but on arrival we found that they had all been brought under control. However we were told of a desperate shortage of water for fire-fighting in the Briagolong area so we headed back that way. Basically we would pair up a concrete truck with a fire truck so the fire truck didn't have to leave the front for water - the concrete truck would go to town for water and come back and keep filling the tank of the fire truck. I manned the base station and kept full concrete trucks arriving wherever the CFA trucks were running out of water. When a great number of the outbreaks were under control, we were sent into an area near Briagolong to set up our base there to try to save a bunch of farmhouses which had been evacuated because they stood in the path of the only fire that was still running wild. It was now Friday night and we set about back-burning all the dry grass in the farmers' paddocks to make a 500 metres wide belt of fire break around ourselves and the houses. By about midnight we had completed an excellent firebreak and advised control that we would stay put to extinguish any spot fires that crossed it as it would now be impossible to get out without being caught by the fires in the bush. Suddenly the control station advised me that we all had to get out now or be incinerated. They reported a firestorm heading directly for us at 70 miles per hour and told us there was no way we could live through it if it caught us. We got locations of the firefront and plotted them on maps and decided that if we obeyed orders we wouldn't see morning, so we elected to stay there and let the firestorm come. When we advised Control that we were staying put they told us they would get a priest to pray over our remains tomorrow. The sky grew brighter and brighter red and orange as the fire front approached. We wound up the windows on all vehicles and placed them in a circle around the paddock far enough apart that if one should ignite, the others should still be safe. We saturated the vehicles, the houses, the ground and ourselves with water. We got woollen blankets and saturated them. As the firestorm approached it looked like a tornado - a bright yellow, rapidly-spinning funnel of fire about a hundred metres wide and I have no idea how tall - its top vanished in the clouds of smoke. Its noise was like an express train or a jet aeroplane approaching - very scary. All around this funnel gale-force winds seemed to be blowing towards it from every direction making dust storms ahead of it and intensely roaring fires behind it. It was so bright, it was almost white-hot. The heat from it was causing gum trees to explode when it was still hundreds of metres away. When the radiant heat from the firestorm was starting to blister our skins we all dropped to our faces on the ground with wet blankets pulled over us. The noise and the heat were unbelievable. The tornado of fire passed within 200 metres of our position. Suddenly the noise and heat were gone and we all emerged from our now bone-dry blankets and rapidly attacked a half dozen or so small spot fires that had started around the houses. Soon we could see that we had saved the houses, but we couldn't get out of there because the bush was all ablaze. We advised Control of our situation and decided to have a sleep on the lawn until daylight. Don't know if any of us actually slept, though. After daylight, when we could see that the bushfire along the only road out had died down to a safe level - it was pretty well burnt out - we drove out using chain saws to cut burning trees lying across the road. We arrived at a town - probably Stratford, but I'm not certain (memory's going 37 years after the event) - and as the fires were all declared to be under control we all went home. So there's an eye-witness account from the middle of a bushfire. I have no desire to ever get that close to such a firestorm again.

Hello All:
       Wishing everyone a BEAUT of a weekend:
For 2000-2001 SNOW season in Arkansas: 13 towns had at least 1 day of 1IN(25.4mm) or more snowfall. Eureka Springs(Carroll County) led with 3 days of 1IN or more. Mena(Polk County) only had 1 day with 1+IN, but led the state with 6IN(152.4mm)accumulation.
         1961-1990 Average: Mena is in an area of 54-56IN(1371.6-1422.4mm) annual precip. The southeastern part of the county averaged over 64IN(1625.6mm) precip. annually.
          The Highest Elev. town in Arkansas (w/substantial population) is Huntsville (pop. 1,394) the largest town and county seat of Madison County, at an elevation(hospital) of above 1,480FT(ab. 451.2M). There are, of course, higher localities, but these places are not much more than "wide places in the road".
          I SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU ARE ENJOYING MY INFO. AS I AM !!!GREATLY!!! ENJOYING ALL OF YOUR INFO. :) :}    THANKS    David Powell

Well Wed the 13th was a fun day apart from working. It was funny, I woke up to get ready for work at 6am, temp was 9C, and at 7am it had dropped to 7C. While at work the wind was very cold from the NNE, and I'd say at about 930 10am, it would have been close to 6C. Then at Lunch time, about 1230, I started to notice big solid Cu developing and thought hmmmm wierd. Back to work at 1pm and it was rather warm, temps up to about 14-15C, and guess what I saw a nice big towering backside of a nice Cb! but it was moving away to the SE and away from ballarat and work :(. My uncle rang from Warnambool earlier and said that there was a thunderstorm raging. I thought very strange. So at about 4pm, knock off time, all hell looked like it was going to break loose, got very dark and though ahhh going to rain, no storm, how wrong I was. I sat in the meal room and watched the cricket and waited to see if this was the mystery Cb. Next thing FLASH, and then BANG, I got excited and ran to the car. Problem was this storm was moving rapidly away due SSE. But there looked to be more to come with more Towering Cu. I started thinging that this was Aug 8th 2000, sunbury Nader, hmmm similar day. So I got home and it all went quiet and nothing was photogenic, doh! But it was darkening on the west again. So I filled the car and headed out to my partol sites and waited. It wasn't long, I was awarded with a nice light show, lots of CGs but not many CCs. Heavy rain and there was some reports of hail. But the problem was these storms where moving very fast and also it was night now therefore they were dying. :( Not much rain actually fell in alfredton from the storm/s a total of 7mm. For the year ending June 11, 2001/02 I had 536.5mm of ran with 12 Thunderstorm days. Cheers Les Baxter Ballarat Weather PS Prob going to AGM in Syd Aug 18th. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ From: "arky dave" To: Subject: aus-wx: HAPPY FATHERS DAY Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2002 01:41:46 -0500 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400 Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com

On that day, the storm approached rapidly with relatively little warning. When it arrived, it was extremely lightning active, and resembled a ball of burning steel wool (put a 9V battery across a ball of steel wool and you'll get what I mean :) ). This system announced its presence through an early darkening, and the start (of the cell that passed over me) was much less dramatic. There was also relatively little lightning (though others reported significant lightning). Because both storms struck around the same time of day, I was within a few km of the same place for both storms.

Again unrelated, I was amused by the complete weather illiteracy of the motor racing TV commentators last weekend, during the local V8 hoonfest, when they looked out to dark clouds gathering over the Brindabellas and were convinced a deluge was headed their way.  Of course, like 90% of all such non events, the centre of Canberra and the rev heads remained dry.

Warmest Greetings to All:
        This is an example of a warm front here in Mena. On Jan. 28, 2001: The Morning Low was 37F(2.7C). Warm Southerly winds kicked in and the temp. rose accordingly. The Day High(near Sunset) was 51F(10.5C) around 5:24 P.M. The temp. continued to rise with S/SW Winds, to an Overall High of 59F(15.0C) around 8:14 P.M.(the temp. for the rest of the night remained steady).  Sometimes a Warm Front gives a brief warm-up right before a cold front slams us. The temps. can also rise at night due to a blanket of fog rolling in. As said earlier, it is indeed strange to watch the temp. RISING at night. The above mentioned event was a dry Warm Front.
          Best Wishes   Cheers    Regards    etc,etc,       David Powell

Hi All,
I was going through my papper clippings for July 84 and came across an article "city had snow 3 times last century".
Snow fell in Toowoomba 3 times in the years  between 1899 and 1901 according to an old weather record handed in to the Chronicle.
Record was kept by the late Mr R.W. Scholefield. The report was kept in the possession of his daughter:
Report covers : 1890 - 1901
Snow storm in the city July 24th , 1898
snow and sleet fell June 13th 1899.
snow recorded on July 29th 1901.
Toowoomba had its wetest February 1893 - 28.42 inches (721.9mm). Annual Rainfall that year was 66.45inches (1687.8mm).
 
Other years of snow reported
19th July 1960 max 7.3C.
3/4 July 1984  max 7.0C
19th August 1996 - brief fall of snow for about  10 mins at Picnic Point and Mt Lofty.
 
Cheers
Sam

Hello to ALL Melbournites(Melbourners? Melbournians?)and Wx people:
      Just thought you'd like to know that there is a MELBOURNE, ARKANSAS; which is the largest town(pop. 1,619--elev. 604FT/184.1M) and county seat of Izard County.(within the city limits is POWELL Spring!). To the Southwest of the town is MELBOURNE CAVE. People's last names seem to be more prevalent than the names of the Australian Capital Towns. Usually in the US, "Sydney" is spelled "Sidney". I'm sure I could find a multitude of ya'lls last names as placenames, but I'm right now looking for your Capital Town's names as placenames in Ark. TOPO MAPS are interesting, you can wind up with some interesting placenames; such as He!! for Sure Hollow and Red Door Cemetery.(Hollows seem to have, as a whole, the most colorful names).
        P.S. I even have a dog-"Blue"(9 yrs. old) who is a Blue Heeler/Border Collie mix. A little bit of AUS. in ARK.!
        Hope ever'ones week is a BLAST!!      David (non-colorful lastname) Powell

A BIG Mena Salute to ALL:
       I was wondering: Do the ski resorts in AUS/NZ have to make much of their SNOW or do they rely on SNOW that has accumulated naturally? If not, what % do they have to make? I think most ski resorts supplement natural accumulation with man-made SNOW. A Virginia ski resort makes its own SNOW, and opens up way before other resorts(strange to see a path of SNOW down a mountainside surrounded by the brown, dead grass of Autumn).
       P.S. If I could apply some Aussie Weather Slang to our weather: We here sometimes have what I would call: YARD SALE X'ERS (A rain event that cancels-out yard sales or any other scheduled outdoor activities).
        Jonesing for Wx info.            David  Powell

Severe Weather Warning 

Issued by MetService at 11:23am 16-Jun-2002

MORE SNOW ON THE WAY FOR SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE SOUTH ISLAND

MetService forecasters are expecting a low to cross the South Island
during Monday, accompanied by widespread rain. 
In Southland, Otago and parts of south Canterbury, temperatures are
likely to stay low overnight and the rain is likely to fall as snow
above about 400 metres about the eastern hills of Otago and south
Canterbury, and possibly lower in some inland basins in Otago and the
MacKenzie country.
Snowfalls are likely to start just before dawn on Monday and continue
through the morning, then become much lighter in the afternoon. 
Up to 10cm may settle in some areas as low as 300 metres during the
morning. 
Above about 500 metres 15cm or more is possible, especially about the
eastern hills from the Lammermoor Range to the Hunter Hills.
Metservice advises residents and travellers in these areas to keep up
to date with the latest weather forecasts as many roads may be
affected by snow and ice.

NZ ski resorts have their snow making going most of the time, certainly every night. Skiers like freash powder
every morning.  Very snowy conditions over South island at the moment with nature doing its thing.

A BIG Mena Salute to ALL:
       I was wondering: Do the ski resorts in AUS/NZ have to make much of their SNOW or do they rely on SNOW that has accumulated naturally? If not, what % do they have to make? I think most ski resorts supplement natural accumulation with man-made SNOW. A Virginia ski resort makes its own SNOW, and opens up way before other resorts(strange to see a path of SNOW down a mountainside surrounded by the brown, dead grass of Autumn).
       P.S. If I could apply some Aussie Weather Slang to our weather: We here sometimes have what I would call: YARD SALE X'ERS (A rain event that cancels-out yard sales or any other scheduled outdoor activities).

We have seen the barometric pressure dip very nicely to around 994mb during Saturday and some very nice cloud patterns yet the total rainfall for Adelaide for the weekend has been a very miserable 1.4mm !! including none today ( far short of the 30+ mm expected ). Needless to say no thunderstorms either as were forecast. It certainly feels like there is a rain barrier for this weekend. We are waiting for the low to get to the east of us to get into the moist southerlies but by the time the low is to the east there wont be much left of it! On a much more positive note from a State point of view the weekend has been great as there have been some really good falls in the far west ( Ceduna ) and upper Eyre Peninsula and also the mid-north ( 20-45mm ). These areas did need the rain which will greatly assist cropping and seeding.

Hi Jane Haven't looked at any charts yet, but here in Adelaide we had a rainband through about 5-6am, and it has been quite mild since then under a heavy sky of mid level cloud.

Hi Cath,
Most definitely was & still is fog. If you are a local you've probably seen it on the news by now.
Amazing watching it roll in from the west around lunchtime today at Sandringham - apparently it had blanketed Black Rock this morning & moved out to sea but came back in. I had to travel a good 15 kms inland before I found the sun again (~5PM). Not often that ships have to use their fog horns on Port Philip bay but they were today.
Cheers

Just sitting in my front yard watching the flashing lights. So I'd suggest something to everyone, at least once a year stop chasing one night, pull into a nice spot with a good view of a few cells, pull out a fold up chair and sit quietly and watch.

Right on Debbie! When I arrived at Brighton beach around 11am on my bike ride I noticed a layer of fog out over the bay. I cycled down to Frankston pier to watch the Cbs down to the south, and shortly after arriving around 1pm, was engulfed in fog!!

I do an awful lot of 'staying put' on many of my chases - hanging about in paddocks and waiting on the sides of dirt roads, just watching, absorbing what is happening around me & learning plays a major part of my "storm chasing". Not unusual for me to stay in one spot for an hour or two, watching and waiting. Often the "chasing' part is to mainly to get to your target location - although you may have more than one of these on any particular day. I carry a gas bottle, kettle & the makings for a cuppa - and drink a lot of them as I chase Mind you, the locals never seem to understand why you are sitting on the side of a road with a cup of tea in the middle of nowhere........ > We can get busy all the time chasing storms, looking for structure, rushing > after possible tornados, and forget to sit and look at the beauty of a > lightning storm.

Now they are "hoisted" electronically on the corner of the television screen, on the Internet, and in frequent radio broadcast advisories. Every railway station and every shopping mall has signs indicating whenever a typhoon signal, monsoon signal, or rainstorm signal is hoisted. For a description of the signals and what they mean, look at http://www.hko.gov.hk/informtc/tcsignal.htm which details the TC signals and look at http://www.weather.gov.hk/textonly/explain/intro.htm for a description of all twenty weather related signals and warnings. While it's great to check the signals on TV or Internet before venturing outside, it is somehow far less exciting than years ago when you would go out and look at the nearest signal tower to see what signal was hoisted at the top of it.

There has been widespread snow through inland Otago/South Canterbury today down to 100m.  
This follows a similar fall on Saturday morning. The media report the snow storm is biggest in

Jane, Slow on the report, but I did run into a furious storm in Tollangi Forest (upper Yarra Valley) yesterday around 2:30pm, after day of Mt biking. I would estimate rainfall rates in the vicinity of 100mm/hr. I was driving through the storm so it is hard to estimate total rainfall amount, but 10-25mm would not have surprised me going by the amount of water at the side of the road. Typically, people were still driving at ~110km despite visibility down to ~100m with rain and fog. Interestingly, my biking friends returned to Melbourne via Kinglake and reported a ~200m wide swathe of hail, with hail "like snow" lying on the ground to around 5cm. Of course, nothing to report from the once wet Dandenong ranges.... not even fog.

GREETINGS ALL:
        With all this unseasonably warm weather that ya'll are getting, do you stay alert for a tornado/severe weather outbreak? Here, people keep an eye to the sky when unseasonably warm weather is about to be quashed by a cold front. Mena's Nov. 1993 tornado happened like this. Unseasonably warm weather is nice, but before too long, there'll be a price to pay.
       P.S. A woman confessed to setting the huge Colorado forest fire(over a nasty letter from her former husband). The cooler temps, and spotty rain are helping firefighting efforts.
        Wishing Everyone Lots of Interesting Weather
         David (now on Weatherzone) Powell

Snow has been falling to sea level in Canterbury this afternoon south of Christchurch. Many roads have been closed
in both Otago and Canterbury. A front has been slow moving over the region creating blizzard like conditions for
some towns.

The closest I can find to this is a (rounded??) 30°C for the last 31 years, and a 29.6°C between 1886 and 1989. Any update Blair? Most uncomfortable, but perfect for growing sugar cane - roll on this SW change. By the way, no rain here from this trough - so far. The wind is still in the north (NE/NW), and light.

Most of us know the dangers of chasing at night and do not continue chasing after dark. In fact, come sunset, if storms are still going strongly, most chasers are thinking about where they can park themselves to do just that - sit and watch. Even during the day, a significant portion of the day is spent just sitting and watching. Most of the driving is usually done to get the target area and also to get home again. I totally agree about the lightning though. It is awesome to just sit back and watch it all happen.

Jane,

I think this might be the "warm front" you identified at the weekend over SE Australia at work here.

The warm front is analysed by NZ Metservice:

http://www.metservice.co.nz/maps/tnz_0000_analysis.asp

A comparison of soundings between Wagga and Invercargill this morning (2002061700z) makes for interesting reading.
 
Today's 500hpa, 700hpa, 850hpa and 925hpa temps at Wagga and Invercargill respectively were:

Wagga:

-25.7, -7.5, 2.2, 6.6

Invercargill:

-23.7, -8.5, -3.1, 1.6

Interestingly, the middle and upper atmospheres are colder at Wagga (with any snow not getting below around 1400m at the time of this morning's
sounding) than at Invercargill with snow reportedly getting close to sea level.
The cross-over point seems to be around 680hpa (above which Wagga is colder and below which Invercargill is colder).

The really notable feature is the 537.6 dm thickness at which snow falls to sea level at Invercargill (compared to the 526dm which we generally need for
sea level snow in Australia).

Amazing what a bit of latitude and some sheltering behind a substantial mountain range (which allows a substantial layer of cold air to build up) can do.It I guess it also shows the folly of using any one parameter to predict what the atmosphere will do in any particular situation.

Snow has been falling to sea level in Canterbury this afternoon south of Christchurch. Many roads have been closed
in both Otago and Canterbury. A front has been slow moving over the region creating blizzard like conditions for
some towns.

i dreged up this draft i did on the 12th march, thought id better post it.
 
Jimmy Deguara wants to know about this new guy on the block as do most of you do i'm sure, for starters i'll republish a letter(in part) i sent to Jane O'neill on 22\2\02 just after i started reading aus-wx and go from there.
   ---------------------------------------------------------
   I've been storm chasing for over 20 years now, ever since
I got my licence to drive. back then I kept my hobby well and
truly locked in the closet. it wasn't full on stormchasing,
mostly just going out the road to get a better look.
   as time went on I got more and more into it, people started
to notice that when there were storms around I went 
completely out to lunch. they didn't tell me I was nuts but the 
look on their faces gave them away. I knew other people did it
but I thought it would be for a purpose like the bom. for
research or photographers to sell photos. at that time I did it
for fun and to see how thunderstorms worked. I justified it as
my own private bit of research.
   then I got austar and discovery channel a few years ago,
some of the storm chasing, lightning and twister films made
the hair on my neck stand on end, ( and they still do ), the
only difference between them and me is they really are crazy.
   I then thought there would have to be other storm chasers
in aus. but they would be random individuals like me. the only
major weather contact I had was bom. in Adelaide and
Mt. gambier, I started to let as many people as possible know
I was a storm chaser to see if I could find someone of the same
species. again I started to think I was marooned on a desert  
island.
   then by sheer accident I found the weatherzone on the net,
I went straight into information overload, there was so much
to look at, computer models and forecasts, radar, "LIGHTNING",
sats., and the forum, I noticed that all these people called
themselves weather freaks and all had allotted weather freak
numbers, aha, could be on to something here, so I emailed
to weatherzone to find out these people. they didn't reply back
but everyone else sure did. I had that many emails coming in
from strange people I thought I'd been whacked with a virus.
   the first one was from majordomo welcoming me to aussie
weather so I opened it, looked like I'd been put on a mailing
list. its been great sitting back watching you people talk to each
other about all the weather stuff going on around the country.
   I'm emailing you because I'm not quite sure what to do, I
emailed majordomo about what to do but I didn't get a reply,
I've sent my application off to aswa, but as yet no one is
talking to me. seeing all the action going on all all over the
place makes me feel like a little kid dragging his heels on the
edge of a playground waiting for the other kids to come and
ask him to play.
   by the way I actually live in Naracoorte, s.a. but I think
what goes on over here and western Victoria can have a lot of
relevance to what happens over your way at times. the
bottom line is where do i go from here ? interacting and communicating with other stormchasers is all new to me,
can you help ?
-------------------------------------------------------------
   well that seems like years ago now, Janes reply was basically sit back, chillout, read what's going on and throw a comment in here and there and people will eventually get used to me. well guess what, like most of her weather analysis i've read she was spot on. i'm 43, last saturday actually and run my own business, sole operator, i like to study and understand most fields of engineering but mainly mechanical and electrical. my main line of work is engine head repairs, welding and reconditioning. yep, i do head jobs but i also fix all manner of wierd and conventional bits & pieces, from instruments to steam engines. i'm also one of those vintage stationary engine nuts and go to rallies whenever i can. until sales were banned in s.a. last dec. i sold fireworks to the general public and also helped my supplier in adelaide to set up and fire professional shows, great experience. i am also a member of  CFS Region5 (s.e.s.a.)headquarters operations group specialising in mapping,logistics and met. i also like shooting and go on regular fox hunts during the winter months. a few years ago i helped a guy start a security business in naracoorte, countrywide security, doing security guard work, commercial and domestic alarm installations and night club bouncing (whoops, crowd controlling), all good experience, i'm not a high fallutin academic, more a get down and get my hands dirty type of person. i tell people i'm crazy but don't ever make the mistake of thinking i'm stoopid.
 
well that's a brief bit about me. apologies for off topic

Hi Patrick,
the Invercargill sounding would not have been all that representative of the environment over the central South island.
Invercargill shows very stable air. however thundersnow was reported from Ashburton.
As you suggest, the Alps screened off milder Tasman sea air, the environment over Otago and Canterbury staying
bitterly cold after a wintry outbreak on Saturday. There was major transport disruption yesterday with main roads
closed including state highway 1 and both Queenstown and Christchurch International airports closing last night.
4000 rural properties lost power.  This morning the weather has cleared so should see an improving situation.

Subject: Re: aus-wx: NZ snow

Jane,

I think this might be the "warm front" you identified at the weekend over SE Australia at work here.

The warm front is analysed by NZ Metservice:

http://www.metservice.co.nz/maps/tnz_0000_analysis.asp

A comparison of soundings between Wagga and Invercargill this morning (2002061700z) makes for interesting reading.
 
Today's 500hpa, 700hpa, 850hpa and 925hpa temps at Wagga and Invercargill respectively were:

Wagga:

-25.7, -7.5, 2.2, 6.6

Invercargill:

-23.7, -8.5, -3.1, 1.6

Interestingly, the middle and upper atmospheres are colder at Wagga (with any snow not getting below around 1400m at the time of this morning's
sounding) than at Invercargill with snow reportedly getting close to sea level.
The cross-over point seems to be around 680hpa (above which Wagga is colder and below which Invercargill is colder).

The really notable feature is the 537.6 dm thickness at which snow falls to sea level at Invercargill (compared to the 526dm which we generally need for
sea level snow in Australia).

Amazing what a bit of latitude and some sheltering behind a substantial mountain range (which allows a substantial layer of cold air to build up) can do.It I guess it also shows the folly of using any one parameter to predict what the atmosphere will do in any particular situation.

Snow has been falling to sea level in Canterbury this afternoon south of Christchurch. Many roads have been closed
in both Otago and Canterbury. A front has been slow moving over the region creating blizzard like conditions for
some towns.
Cheers

It is good to hear another person come to the party. Hope you do well Richard. What's scary is that we share some similar insterests, in electrical and rallying. It is good to see Bourne, Mackinon, Aureal and a few of the others go flying around Perth, Dakar and the other places.

i dreged up this draft i did on the 12th march, thought id better post it.
 
Jimmy Deguara wants to know about this new guy on the block as do most of you do i'm sure, for starters i'll republish a letter(in part) i sent to Jane O'neill on 22\2\02 just after i started reading aus-wx and go from there.
   ---------------------------------------------------------
   I've been storm chasing for over 20 years now, ever since
I got my licence to drive. back then I kept my hobby well and
truly locked in the closet. it wasn't full on stormchasing,
mostly just going out the road to get a better look.
   as time went on I got more and more into it, people started
to notice that when there were storms around I went 
completely out to lunch. they didn't tell me I was nuts but the 
look on their faces gave them away. I knew other people did it
but I thought it would be for a purpose like the bom. for
research or photographers to sell photos. at that time I did it
for fun and to see how thunderstorms worked. I justified it as
my own private bit of research.
   then I got austar and discovery channel a few years ago,
some of the storm chasing, lightning and twister films made
the hair on my neck stand on end, ( and they still do ), the
only difference between them and me is they really are crazy.
   I then thought there would have to be other storm chasers
in aus. but they would be random individuals like me. the only
major weather contact I had was bom. in Adelaide and
Mt. gambier, I started to let as many people as possible know
I was a storm chaser to see if I could find someone of the same
species. again I started to think I was marooned on a desert  
island.
   then by sheer accident I found the weatherzone on the net,
I went straight into information overload, there was so much
to look at, computer models and forecasts, radar, "LIGHTNING",
sats., and the forum, I noticed that all these people called
themselves weather freaks and all had allotted weather freak
numbers, aha, could be on to something here, so I emailed
to weatherzone to find out these people. they didn't reply back
but everyone else sure did. I had that many emails coming in
from strange people I thought I'd been whacked with a virus.
   the first one was from majordomo welcoming me to aussie
weather so I opened it, looked like I'd been put on a mailing
list. its been great sitting back watching you people talk to each
other about all the weather stuff going on around the country.
   I'm emailing you because I'm not quite sure what to do, I
emailed majordomo about what to do but I didn't get a reply,
I've sent my application off to aswa, but as yet no one is
talking to me. seeing all the action going on all all over the
place makes me feel like a little kid dragging his heels on the
edge of a playground waiting for the other kids to come and
ask him to play.
   by the way I actually live in Naracoorte, s.a. but I think
what goes on over here and western Victoria can have a lot of
relevance to what happens over your way at times. the
bottom line is where do i go from here ? interacting and communicating with other stormchasers is all new to me,
can you help ?
-------------------------------------------------------------
   well that seems like years ago now, Janes reply was basically sit back, chillout, read what's going on and throw a comment in here and there and people will eventually get used to me. well guess what, like most of her weather analysis i've read she was spot on. i'm 43, last saturday actually and run my own business, sole operator, i like to study and understand most fields of engineering but mainly mechanical and electrical. my main line of work is engine head repairs, welding and reconditioning. yep, i do head jobs but i also fix all manner of wierd and conventional bits & pieces, from instruments to steam engines. i'm also one of those vintage stationary engine nuts and go to rallies whenever i can. until sales were banned in s.a. last dec. i sold fireworks to the general public and also helped my supplier in adelaide to set up and fire professional shows, great experience. i am also a member of  CFS Region5 (s.e.s.a.)headquarters operations group specialising in mapping,logistics and met. i also like shooting and go on regular fox hunts during the winter months. a few years ago i helped a guy start a security business in naracoorte, countrywide security, doing security guard work, commercial and domestic alarm installations and night club bouncing (whoops, crowd controlling), all good experience, i'm not a high fallutin academic, more a get down and get my hands dirty type of person. i tell people i'm crazy but don't ever make the mistake of thinking i'm stoopid.
 
well that's a brief bit about me. apologies for off topic

Although it already has enough comms equipment and antennas to sink the Titanic. It was given to me as a bomb that needed some serious body and motor work, it at least runs well now, but the body is still being dealt with and the suspension is stuffed. Now being a Telstar the nice figure of brand new electronic suspension is $400 per strut. Luckily I have found a friend with a same year model Telstar he wants to offload for about $100 with reconded motor, good bootlid, good suspension and exhaust, then there is just a we bit of glassing to do. ___________________________________ Glen O'Riley goriley at tsn.cc www.mypage.tsn.cc/oriley * Computer Repairs * Computer Sales * Computer Upgrades * Computer Networking * Computer Training * Web Page Construction * TV Antenna Installation * Livestock Work -------- WebMaster For: www.ansansw.com.au -------- Storm Chaser Firefighter SES Volunteer ACREM CB Radio Monitor Rail Fan _________________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Yole" To: Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 12:54 AM Subject: RE: aus-wx: Fw: new stormchaser.sort of > Richard, > > It's great to hear from you.

See http://www.drdisk.com.hk/tornado.htm for a report of a trip I did on my own donkey's years ago - well, more than thirty years ago, anyway. You've got a great area for storm chasing with all that flat country and open roads. Here we have a 50 km/h strictly-enforced limit over the whole country (except freeways) and mountains everywhere so that we more or less have to wait for the storms to come to us. And then of course we have International borders which take hours to get through as soon as we go more than 30 km up the road. Enjoy chasing in SESA and Western Vic!

 Unseasonably warm weather is nice, but before too long, there'll be a price to pay.
           
 
 
Hello David
 
This is a common statement here for normal fine weather. Here it is a change to rain, wind and rain.
This year has been unseasonably fine.
This morning a very heavy frost with a low of  -1.3C which is not far off the all time record low of -3C.

A FINE DAY TO ALL:
        Hello, I was wondering: What was the highest t'storm cloud tops that ya'll know of? The Weather Channel used to list cloud top heights on storm activity on their National Radar Update; the highest t'storm tops that I know of were around 68,000FT(20,726,400mm--{HAHA}or around 20,731.7M), which storms were located in extreme Eastern Oklahoma(not far from us). By contrast, SNOW producing cloud tops can be as low as 4,000FT(1,219.5M).
          Unfortunately, for a good number of years, the Weather Channel no longer indicate cloud tops.

You may or may not be surprised that similar stories exist in ASWA. This is also one of the reasons why ASWA developed - to give people such as yourself an opportunity to feel normal again:))) You should try and get yourself to ASWA meetings and if you feel you would like to join, fantastic. I am not a firm believer in doing more than encourage people to join but more on their own judgement and their own decision. Please do go to the web site: http://www.severeweather.asn.au about ASWA or for membership http://www.severeweather.asn.au/meminfo/index.htm As to chasers not talking to you, I would have thought the forum and the aussie-weather list would have been one form of communication but I suppose you mean talking in person or over the phone and also chasing with someone rather than alone. Also sharing videos. Well ASWA is a great way to start but simply just attend a SA meeting. Get into contact with Kathryn Wall and she will give you details of the upcoming meeting. If it is too distant, make it a two day trip and stay the night and then go back. There are other avenues of meeting chasers: one is the annual ASWA Conference 17th August 2002 here in Sydney. Great fun and very informative - the highlight of the ASWA calendar. Another way is also to come on the Thunder Down Under which is held each year. There are several groups that take time off to chase storms during the late November and early December period. Anyway, I hope this helps and thanks for sharing that with us. I hope you haven't thought you were being ignored or not appreciated on either forum.

Before the days of internet I thought I was the only person in Australia truly interested in storms. Certainly when I would take off at 10pm at night chasing flash floods or hail even my parents thought I was mad. One day I was reading the Daily Telegraph and there was a picture of Michael Bath with a wall cloud in the background, I could not believe it the article went on mention not only one but two ( Jimmy Deguara ) storm chasers. I knew then I was not alone. I had a weather website up around 1995 - 1996, around the same time Michael and Jimmy appeared on the net, at that stage the BOM only had a Gopher site. That did not stop the BOM trying to take legal action against my site, but that is another story that even made it to the then ministers desk. As the internet grew weather folks came out of the woodwork everywhere. This was the beginning of my education. The thing I like about the weather and storm chasing community is that weather can often be the focal point for people who come to that spot from different interest paths. For example some love astronomy and weather is natural path. Others love physics and maths and end up at weather, others come from a volunteer / emergency services path. Myself I came from a love of physical geography, geology and botany. The great thing is we all then have something we can teach each other.

I've always had an interest in the weather, but it took a full circuit via emergency services, comms/ham radio, a chance meeting of an ASWA member at a party (Hi Max! :) ) and the Internet to come back to the weather. Hopefully I'll get the time to manage a few short chases, but also quite happy to offer support assistance when I can't go out myself.

Thunderstorm tops tend to be higher in the tropics. Therefore places like Darwin have tops well in excess of 60,000ft. , I have heard 70,000Ft, even pushing 80,000ft. But do not take that for gospel.

A FINE DAY TO ALL:
        Hello, I was wondering: What was the highest t'storm cloud tops that ya'll know of? The Weather Channel used to list cloud top heights on storm activity on their National Radar Update; the highest t'storm tops that I know of were around 68,000FT(20,726,400mm--{HAHA}or around 20,731.7M), which storms were located in extreme Eastern Oklahoma(not far from us). By contrast, SNOW producing cloud tops can be as low as 4,000FT(1,219.5M).
          Unfortunately, for a good number of years, the Weather Channel no longer indicate cloud tops.

Whoa!!! Really??!?! Was I drunk at the time?? ;-) I remember we had Don Whitford from the BoM giving a talk at our ASWA meeting, and he was in Darwin for a few years. He mentioned about a time he was flying around Darwin, and he said that they were at something like ~~75,000 ft (can't remember exact height for sure), and he said that the top of Hector was a further 5,000 ft above that. I know during DAWEX that there had been a few mentions of times where Hector reached 85,000ft, which perhaps I quoted in an ASWA meeting. However, I must confess as to not asking at the time how this height was actually measured! Cheers -- Robert A.

exellent idea michael, storms are attracted to an organised camping trip like ants to a picinc, but it'll have to be incognito , if they find out it's an aswa group they'll stay away with a vengance.lol.

Happy June to ALL:
       Can someone give me an explanation/theory/reason of how weather has an effect on arthritis? Awhile before a rainstorm, my shoulders are really tight and stiff; before a big cold snap, my knees really hurt. I have to move my other joints occasionally to keep them from getting stiff. I can predict the weather before it gets here. I have ankylosing spondylitis(calcium deposits) in neck and spine., sometimes my right knee will swell--and I've had to have it drained twice, my left ankle sometimes swells and busts some capillaries. Thankfully THESE occurrences are rare. Also, cold, damp Winter weather freezes me up---I just want to hibernate in bed and stay as warm as possible. Even when I go swimming(on my back) I don't like the water to be too cold. If anyone has a reason/explanation/theory I would be glad to hear it. THANKS!!!

Hi all,
    The 16th of June gave north Canberra a VERY unexpected storm from around 2pm. the storm woke me up and i shot out the door within 2 minutes up to my lookout that is 50 meters from my house ( www.canberra-wx.com/map.htm ).
I ran out the door with my low res webcam/digi cam and snapped away for 5 minutes till i had to rrun home put a jumper on and jump on the net to look at radar returns. i then grabbed the normal film camera and went off to take more snaps.. i had to work from 3pm so time was against me but luckily it passed over me around 2:30pm bringing pea sized hail and a bit of wind.
 
More pics will be up when i get the film developed and if i fell like mucking around with the digi shots... But for now...
 
Cheers

Hi all
Just to add on to the previous post...
Maybe somebody can confirm these for me though: The actual development, my theroy...
There had been a NW'ly flow over NSW for a couple of days bringing record June temps to the north coast, and very mild temps for most centres., Canberra Hadn't felt the affect of this the previous 2 days reaching 13C but remaining around 10/11C for most part of the days. the 16th was different with temps reaching 15C around 1:30pm and an expected cold change was due that day also, Which was suppose to bring snow to the alps down to 1700m, my theroy is the Colder upper air arrived around the same time as the Max temp (1:30pm) and along with the orographic lifting affect the Brindabella's have, it initated strong convection which ended up giving me this storm.
 
Please correct me if im wrong, casue i would like to know what actually caused this storm and the report the canberra times gave doesn't do it for me. "The storm was triggered when the temp dropped 4C in 90 minutes"... more like temps dropped 4C WITH the storm..
 
 
Cheers

Subject: aus-wx: Canberra Storm 16-6-02

Hi all,
    The 16th of June gave north Canberra a VERY unexpected storm from around 2pm. the storm woke me up and i shot out the door within 2 minutes up to my lookout that is 50 meters from my house ( www.canberra-wx.com/map.htm ).
I ran out the door with my low res webcam/digi cam and snapped away for 5 minutes till i had to rrun home put a jumper on and jump on the net to look at radar returns. i then grabbed the normal film camera and went off to take more snaps.. i had to work from 3pm so time was against me but luckily it passed over me around 2:30pm bringing pea sized hail and a bit of wind.
 
More pics will be up when i get the film developed and if i fell like mucking around with the digi shots... But for now...
 
Cheers

So, working from definition number 1: if this nasty depression causes it to rain cats and dogs then they must be already dead and very smelly; definition 2 shows us that any rain collected will taste bad or smell and perhaps it means too that the whole depression will be so nauseous as to vomit - NZers, wear a hat and carry a brolly; definition 3 means it would be offensive or objectionable which most on this list would find it difficult to picture any depression being and as for it being obscene, well, I shall let the reader imagine...; definition 4 indicates it could be vicious, spiteful or ugly - a bit difficult to imagine in a weather system and as for the example given, well, I have had farmers tell me "It's been a dog of a day" so just maybe; and definition 5 says this depression may be bad to deal with, encounter, undergo, etc. so maybe this fits best in the eyes of those organising outdoor events or something similar.

I think I remember reading that falling air pressure had an effect on the nerve endings that trigger pain but I'm not sure how.
I have regular visits from Uncle Arthur Itis in the knees and cold damp weather plays up with it as well as, curiously, hot sultry weather.
Seems hot packs or other heat treatments (like infra red ray lamps, hot wheat bags under the neck etc) get the circulation going.
Often when the barometer's falling, it all feels like the barometer's fallen right onto it....! Perhaps get a smaller instrument...

Subject: aus-wx: ARTHRITIS AND WX

Happy June to ALL:
       Can someone give me an explanation/theory/reason of how weather has an effect on arthritis? Awhile before a rainstorm, my shoulders are really tight and stiff; before a big cold snap, my knees really hurt. I have to move my other joints occasionally to keep them from getting stiff. I can predict the weather before it gets here. I have ankylosing spondylitis(calcium deposits) in neck and spine., sometimes my right knee will swell--and I've had to have it drained twice, my left ankle sometimes swells and busts some capillaries. Thankfully THESE occurrences are rare. Also, cold, damp Winter weather freezes me up---I just want to hibernate in bed and stay as warm as possible. Even when I go swimming(on my back) I don't like the water to be too cold. If anyone has a reason/explanation/theory I would be glad to hear it. THANKS!!!

Simon you are right I saw the CT report . It was a cold air pool in the middle and upper levels  combined with surface heating  and a surface trough which triggered the storms . I noticed CB over Tidbinbilla Peak around 2pm with showers starting over the mountain but lost track of events as I had to go to Fyshwick . We had a light fall at Fyshwick but at Gilmore my kids reported three brief but heavy showers of small (sago ) Hail enough to cover the lawns.We did not hear any thunder but the clouds were CB but with low tops as is usual in winter. Our  thermograpgh records showed the impact at Gilmore but not at Bonython so the showers must have missed them
I didn't realise  how strong it was over your way til I saw the Paper.

Hi all
Just to add on to the previous post...
Maybe somebody can confirm these for me though: The actual development, my theroy...
There had been a NW'ly flow over NSW for a couple of days bringing record June temps to the north coast, and very mild temps for most centres., Canberra Hadn't felt the affect of this the previous 2 days reaching 13C but remaining around 10/11C for most part of the days. the 16th was different with temps reaching 15C around 1:30pm and an expected cold change was due that day also, Which was suppose to bring snow to the alps down to 1700m, my theroy is the Colder upper air arrived around the same time as the Max temp (1:30pm) and along with the orographic lifting affect the Brindabella's have, it initated strong convection which ended up giving me this storm.
 
Please correct me if im wrong, casue i would like to know what actually caused this storm and the report the canberra times gave doesn't do it for me. "The storm was triggered when the temp dropped 4C in 90 minutes"... more like temps dropped 4C WITH the storm..
 
 
Cheers

Hi all,
    The 16th of June gave north Canberra a VERY unexpected storm from around 2pm. the storm woke me up and i shot out the door within 2 minutes up to my lookout that is 50 meters from my house ( www.canberra-wx.com/map.htm ).
I ran out the door with my low res webcam/digi cam and snapped away for 5 minutes till i had to rrun home put a jumper on and jump on the net to look at radar returns. i then grabbed the normal film camera and went off to take more snaps.. i had to work from 3pm so time was against me but luckily it passed over me around 2:30pm bringing pea sized hail and a bit of wind.
 
More pics will be up when i get the film developed and if i fell like mucking around with the digi shots... But for now...
 
Cheers

Hi Gavin.
Yep Quite a nice little surprise, there wasn't much thunder in, every 1 minute or so, some very nice Cgs were seen and a Close CC that made the power lines that are 10 meters away go "ZZzzZzzzppp" lol, you can see the power lines in that pic!

Simon you are right I saw the CT report . It was a cold air pool in the middle and upper levels  combined with surface heating  and a surface trough which triggered the storms . I noticed CB over Tidbinbilla Peak around 2pm with showers starting over the mountain but lost track of events as I had to go to Fyshwick . We had a light fall at Fyshwick but at Gilmore my kids reported three brief but heavy showers of small (sago ) Hail enough to cover the lawns.We did not hear any thunder but the clouds were CB but with low tops as is usual in winter. Our  thermograpgh records showed the impact at Gilmore but not at Bonython so the showers must have missed them
I didn't realise  how strong it was over your way til I saw the Paper.

Hi all
Just to add on to the previous post...
Maybe somebody can confirm these for me though: The actual development, my theroy...
There had been a NW'ly flow over NSW for a couple of days bringing record June temps to the north coast, and very mild temps for most centres., Canberra Hadn't felt the affect of this the previous 2 days reaching 13C but remaining around 10/11C for most part of the days. the 16th was different with temps reaching 15C around 1:30pm and an expected cold change was due that day also, Which was suppose to bring snow to the alps down to 1700m, my theroy is the Colder upper air arrived around the same time as the Max temp (1:30pm) and along with the orographic lifting affect the Brindabella's have, it initated strong convection which ended up giving me this storm.
 
Please correct me if im wrong, casue i would like to know what actually caused this storm and the report the canberra times gave doesn't do it for me. "The storm was triggered when the temp dropped 4C in 90 minutes"... more like temps dropped 4C WITH the storm..

Hi all,
    The 16th of June gave north Canberra a VERY unexpected storm from around 2pm. the storm woke me up and i shot out the door within 2 minutes up to my lookout that is 50 meters from my house ( www.canberra-wx.com/map.htm ).
I ran out the door with my low res webcam/digi cam and snapped away for 5 minutes till i had to rrun home put a jumper on and jump on the net to look at radar returns. i then grabbed the normal film camera and went off to take more snaps.. i had to work from 3pm so time was against me but luckily it passed over me around 2:30pm bringing pea sized hail and a bit of wind.
 
More pics will be up when i get the film developed and if i fell like mucking around with the digi shots... But for now...
 
Cheers

Started on June 8, the Hayman forest fire continues to burn in the Pike National Forest, 57 kilometers (35 miles) south-southwest of Denver, Colo. According to the U.S. Forest Service, the fire has consumed more than 100,000 acres. The image is available at: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/images/earth/usa/west.html . Acquired Sunday morning, June 16, 2002, the Aster image shows active fires in red. The dark blue area is burned vegetation, and the green areas are healthy vegetation. Clouds are white. The blue cloud at the top center is smoke. The image covers an area of 32.2 by 35.2 kilometers (20 by 21.8 miles). Aster is one of five Earth-observing instruments launched in December 1999 on NASA's Terra satellite. With its 14 spectral bands from the visible to the thermal infrared wavelength region and its high spatial resolution of 15 to 90 meters (about 50 to 300 feet), Aster will image Earth for the next six years to map and monitor the planet's changing surface. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry built the instrument. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., is responsible for the American portion of the joint U.S./Japan science team that validates and calibrates the instrument and the data products. More information about Aster is available at: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/current/aster.html .

Hi Richard and all.
The evolvement of this low pressure system has been interesting,there has been a sustained and very strong tropical moisture plume operating north of NZ for a few days and is connected to a large equatorial cloud 'splotch' on both sides of the equator over the past week or so. This moisture plume has been directed south by the presence of a persistent and strong upper long wave trough...ok we have the basics sitting there for something significant....over the past several days I have been watching a cold pool paddling about south east QLD (about 20 to 30 thousand feet), this area of upper cold air can be seen by the development of showers and storms over the past few days. Early Wednesday this upper cold pool suddenly shifted eastward and has been incorporated into the large baroclinic cloud band north of NZ. The merging of this upper 'cold pool' occurred to the northwest of NZ overnight  all this together has or seems to have been the final ingredient for the development of this interesting LOW...regards Clyve Herbert..

Thought the following may offer thoughts to ponder. Interesting in the context of what is known, and what is postulated, today. I'm sure there are some on the list who have more up-to-date theories and information - how about it?? Regards, Bill Proserpine NQ From the 1941 US Department of Agriculture Yearbook of Agriculture "Climate and Man" - quotes In the section Climatic Change Through the Ages, by Richard Joel Russell >> It will be news to many people that man, during his geologically brief existence on earth, has never known a "normal" climate. We are now at the tail end of an ice age and living in a period of crustal and climatic violence as great as any the earth has known. << Under the heading Geologic Climates (same author) >> There are two broad types of climatic pattern indicated by the geologic record, the normal and the glacial. The characteristic of glacial climates is the existance of frozen seas during the summer in the polar regions. Such is the case today. The absence of polar ice is the charactistic of normal times from the geologic standpoint. The difference between glacial and normal climates is sharply defined, and transitions from one to the other occupied inconsequential intervals of time. It is probable that less than one percent of geologic time ...... has experienced glacial climatic patterns. << >> ........ The early Cenozoic was such a time. Plants closely allied to some of our warm climate types were flourishing in places such as Greenland, Spitzbergen, and other lands in high latitudes where their growth is impossible today. Even more strikingly uniform were the temperatures in all latitudes during most of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. << ?? Normal not good for stormchasers (weather appreciators). >> Gentle meridional (north-and-south) temperature gradients during normal geol ogic times were accompanied by less intensified pressure belts. The physical contrast between air masses to the north and those to the south produced a belt of cyclonic disturbance and lower pressures at about 60° of latitude. This zone of storminess was located some distance poleward from its present position, and the intensities in cyclonic disturbance were far less than are now experienced. Middle latitudes had rather monotonous weather, with few invasions of sharp fronts between air masses causing abrupt weather changes. << >> Precipitation was less during normal times. << >> The land areas on somewhat more than half of the earth had a climate much like that of tropical lowlands today. << >> The oceans of normal times were much warmer than those of today. << Under the heading The Ice Ages >> Normal times have had little to do with shaping the destinies of physical or biologic history. Both plant and animal life suffered abrupt and extensive change during each revolution. << (the revolution being the change from normal to glacial periods, and vice versa - WAW) Under the heading Climate changes since the Last Glaciation >> It is an open question whether we are now experiencing an interglacial stage (short term trend towards normal - WAW)or the actual ending of the whole ice age. The weight of evidence suggests the former, but there is no actual proof. << AND finally, one quote very dear to my heart In the section The How and Why of Weather Knowledge by FW Reichelderfer >>Climate and weather are basic natural resources, but they must be understood if they are to be turned to good advantage. No one has better reason to know this than the farmer.................. << There are many more gems, and I haven't yet read half of the 1200 odd pages.

I think I remember reading that falling air pressure had an effect on the nerve endings that trigger pain but I'm not sure how.
I have regular visits from Uncle Arthur Itis in the knees and cold damp weather plays up with it as well as, curiously, hot sultry weather.
Seems hot packs or other heat treatments (like infra red ray lamps, hot wheat bags under the neck etc) get the circulation going.
Often when the barometer's falling, it all feels like the barometer's fallen right onto it....! Perhaps get a smaller instrument...

Happy June to ALL:
       Can someone give me an explanation/theory/reason of how weather has an effect on arthritis? Awhile before a rainstorm, my shoulders are really tight and stiff; before a big cold snap, my knees really hurt. I have to move my other joints occasionally to keep them from getting stiff. I can predict the weather before it gets here. I have ankylosing spondylitis(calcium deposits) in neck and spine., sometimes my right knee will swell--and I've had to have it drained twice, my left ankle sometimes swells and busts some capillaries. Thankfully THESE occurrences are rare. Also, cold, damp Winter weather freezes me up---I just want to hibernate in bed and stay as warm as possible. Even when I go swimming(on my back) I don't like the water to be too cold. If anyone has a reason/explanation/theory I would be glad to hear it. THANKS!!!

Actually I am wondering about there actually being a frost though I was not able to confirm it. This really depend on the atmospheric profile. If the air was dry and fairly still, yes I would say there was but as the air was moist from the past few days, you may have found a little fog developed down there making it more difficult for frost to develop down there. In fact, a couple of occasions last year, we had frost up higher say about 50 - 60m a.s.l. though I noticed that as I went down further into the valley, there was fog and dew. In other words, there may have been frost earlier but if it had jnot formed in time earlier then no frost occurred at all. Another thing that does not work in favour of a frosty morning is the ground temperature - I doubt there has been any frosts this year so you need substantial cooling of the ground temperature to help increase chances of frosts. I think July will bring a whole series of them once drier air moves through. Late seasons? I think so. Anyway,enough ramblings from me.

As Jimmy says there has to be substantial cooling. In my location too often a 'night wind' comes up whereas 300 metres away at lower levels, frosts on car roofs (and elsewhere) would be common. But yesterday there was a dead calm..not a breath of wind. It's very unusual for the inversion to come this far up.The frost was only enought to ice up the thermometer; there was next to nothing on the grass. A good 'frost-ometer' is to place a thin patch of dead grass clippings in a fairly open place (I do this a metre from the screen) ..frosts form very easily on dead vegetation and this is good at times when it doesn't appear on the grass. Obviously it has to be away from fences and buildings to avoid outgoing radiation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jimmy Deguara" To: Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 7:07 AM Subject: Re: aus-wx: Cold night in Sydney's North > Hi Damian, > > At 11:48 AM 20/6/2002 +1000, you wrote: > >3.5 degrees last night recorded here between Chatswood West & North Ryde in > >Sydney's Northern Suburbs.

HEllllooooo You All:
       The "Weather Bomb" was mentioned tonight on FoxNewsChannel. There was video of a blustery/rainy traffic scene on the Harbour Bridge.Also mentioned was the fact that inner island ferry trips were still on, but outer island trips have been cancelled.
        We(US) FINALLY get this news.
         Maybe all you NZ'ers should ALL take a vacation(holiday) to more tranquil Australia. After the "Bomb" detonates, then you can go back to NZ and clean up.
         Awesome Weekend To ALL    David Powell

Unfortunately due to liability potential, ASWA has shied away a little from these sorts of events. ASWA used to organised Thunder Downunder (as it did in 1999), but the ASWA committee decided against future organisations of it through ASWA due to liability. I know it's a shame, but ASWA can't risk the higher risk activities such as camping and stormchasing due to ever increasing insurance premiums and the number of people seeking compensation. What I do suggest and recommend is that for people who want to do these activities with ASWA members is to come to an ASWA meeting, meet ASWA members and make friends through there and organise a camping trip with some friends. This goes for stormchasing etc. I think the closest thing to this is the SDS retreat which is held jointly by NSW/QLD - information has been/will be sent to ASWA members. Thanks again for the idea - it's great to see so many people interested in ASWA and its activities!

Actually, I am rather impressed that so far inland, you get so much rainfall. Incredible considering there are no mountains to create orographic effects.

If airmasses are moist enough and the upper air is OK (and I think Arkansas is fairly exposed to tropical influences as well), the air would penetrate straight through. Consider an analogous situation: if we didn't have our Great Divide, moist onshore easterlies would be more effective in bringing rain further inland especially if there was a surface or upper trough present. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jimmy Deguara" To: Sent: Saturday, June 22, 2002 11:16 AM Subject: Re: aus-wx: COMPARABLE RAIN > Hi Dave, > > Some suburbs in Sydney could approximate those rainfall figures but more or > less coastal communities further north and some further south can match > that and in some cases go higher. > > Actually, I am rather impressed that so far inland, you get so much > rainfall.

Due to our weather dynamics, in summer we have an almost daily 20% chance of a heating/instability shower.The Ouachita (pronounced WAH shee taw) Mountains are the only major US mountain chain that runs East-to-West.Ouachita=an Indian word meaning clear, sparkling water.Mena's elevation is 1,177FT(358.8m).Our mountains are ancient fold mountains, which are somewhat steeply rising narrow-width ridges with no well-defined jagged central peak. Wishing you(and everyone) lots of interesting Winter weather. Your AUS Wx fan David Powell P.S. The wettest town in Ark. is Glenwood(Pike County) with an annual avg. of 55.44IN(1,408.1mm). I know of at least 2 instances where Mena had over 10IN(254mm) rain in 1 day.(due to excrutiatingly slow-moving stationary fronts).There have been a couple yrs. where Mena has had almost 80IN(2,032mm). To tell you how we have been blessed by abundant rainfall: From 1990-1999, Mena had only 2 yrs.(1991,1992)with below normal rainfall. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jimmy Deguara" To: Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 8:16 PM Subject: Re: aus-wx: COMPARABLE RAIN > Hi Dave, > > Some suburbs in Sydney could approximate those rainfall figures but more or > less coastal communities further north and some further south can match > that and in some cases go higher. > > Actually, I am rather impressed that so far inland, you get so much > rainfall.

At Auckland the baro fell from 1016mbs to 990mbs in about 16 hours. Parts of Northland and the Coromandel (east of Auckland) received over 100mm in 24hrs. Wettest area was possibly Thames where 270mm fell in 24hrs, 60mm in 1hour. Winds gusted to 50kts in many areas exposed to east. Met. Service did well to warn people 24hrs before storm hit. However there was one fatality. I guess these rainfall totals are remarkable given its mid winter. We seem to be getting winter deluges more these days.

Woke up to a frost this morning between Chatswood West & North Ryde on the Lane Cove River.
The first frost of the season for my neck of the woods. The temperature in my backyard got down to 2.2 degrees. At 8 am the temperature was 3.4 degrees but at the bottom of my street at the bottom of the valley in the cleared park there was a decent noticeable frost still lying around.

Make sure you check again in the morning. It's already 4 degrees on the grass here (Seven Hills)..and that's at a higher elevation than most of the immediate area.

Kununurra is in the NE corner of the region. As every river in the region was flowing with water, I wouldn't exactly call the surrounding region desert! Dusty, yes, but not dry at all! But I do agree with you on the temp. changes. At the moment it is the dry season, but I was surprised to find that while the days were around 30C, the night temps inland often dropped to around 4C. Therefore, ours plans of swimming in all of the waterholes in the Kimberley were dashed - the water was freezing! An absolutely stunning part of the world - I may go and live there someday...

While in the Kimberley's recently, I noticed the reasonably new Wyndham radar, situated on top the the 5 rivers lookout. A fantastic site for a radar, as this lookout has 360 degree views.

I don't think the policy of getting the fires out at any cost has haunted us yet--but, when going against nature it could bite us at any time.The "Rodeo" fire near Show Low, AZ has burned 85,000 acres and is 0% contained. The Hayman fire is being slowly overcome as there have been rains in the area. C-U Later :)

The main presentation by Paul Graham from the Weather Company will be a time-lapse storm movie set to music of Franz Liszt. Not to be missed! Following the presentation, there will be the opportunity to discuss new methods in studying severe storm development. Attendees are invited to bring any photos of recent storms or weather phenomena for discussion. Neil Moody, from the Bureau of Meteorology will present rainfall and temperature data for May and June. This meeting will be an important opportunity to discuss the future of the Weatherwatch group and who will take responsibiilty for 2003. Planning for the August 28th meeting will also be on the agenda. Visitors are very much welcome and light refreshments will be available throughout the meeting. Hope to see you there!

Rabbit Flat is a service point and camping ground in the Tanami Desert on the Tanami Highway. It is run by a very friendly or uncooperative man (depending on your views in regard to the local aborigines - so best to avoid this topic if you want fuel) and his elderly french wife. Opening hours are odd - Friday to Monday only. Other times, and you will be greeted by a massive impassable gate across the entrance. If you don't have jerry cans, and arrive when Rabbit Flat is closed, you will have to wait, as the next service is 350 km away, north and south. These are both communities, which both have regular power outages, which in turn means no petrol until the power comes back on. 
The current price for Unleaded is $1.35 per litre. I thought it would be closer to $2.00, so not too bad considering the owners could pretty much charge what they like. Diesel is at the price the owner decides on for the day, as the price cannot be displayed on the bowser - too many numbers. There is an actual sign on the bowser which states this! So it pays to be courteous! The most expensive I've filled up is at Mount Dare, in the extreme North of South Australia, at $1.40 per litre. That was some time ago, when the general fuel prices were higher.    
For the last 3 years Rabbit Flat has actually been quite wet - some of the big Monsoon storms reach the area in the summer.
Oodnadatta in S.A. would be my bet for driest settlement in Australia - I think their annual average rainfall is around 90mm.

As the others have noted Rabbit Flat is far from the driest, in fact they grow wheat in parts Western Australia on less rainfall. Rabbit Flat is too far north to be the driest, being north gives it some monsoon low influence.
 
The other claim to fame of this place is it supposed to have the most expensive petrol in Australia. Not really surprising given the location.

Hello:
       Just another ques. before I hit the hay. I was watching a TV show about Australia(mabye a Steve Irwin special). I just got in on the tail end of a fellow saying that Rabbit Flat in the NT had just about the lowest annual rainfall of anyplace in AUS. I missed the amt. of annual rain. How much would it be? Is Rabbit Flat the driest town in Australia? How about the driest town in NZ, etc.? On average, the driest town in the US is Yuma, Arizona, with 2.7IN(68.5mm)yearly.

The front part of that storm dumped hail the size of base balls on our vehicle. We received 5 significant dents. I won't repeat the words I said when I heard the thumps - especially due to the fact the main precipitation core had nor arrived - falling from the front part/anvil. (It was our last day chasing). There was a warning on the storm for "hail larger than the size of base balls" and I believe from the non-standard way the warning was issued that there must have been observations. That photograph shows the storm in a weakening phase. Perhaps it was in the photos just before that when it was at it's most mature and dumping the hail larger than the size of base balls. A storm earlier had followed almost the same track having a base ball hail warning on it as well. We simply went through the damage path observing snapped and leaning power poles (straight line winds?? possibly a tornado) and a lot of leave debri from the hail. Thanks for your comments.

If you speak from a global warming perspective, then you may find less frequent severe winters (warmer minimums). Perhaps the 70's was an episode of particular nasty winters. I mean 1970 was in particular cold. Another way to look at it is to consider other regions? Are other areas in NSW for instance getting milder winters? How about the urban effect? We are on the edge of the rural urban fringe but I think that will only have a minor almost negligible effect on our temperatures for the time being anyway. But I know that those in built up areas definitely can tell the difference. So one has to consider several possibilities and test them statistically. All I can say is that frost used to occur more frequently in my younger days. I recall having to wear gloves. My parents recall frozen pipes were common hence no water coming out into the kitchen (in the older style housing of course that had pipes running on the outside of the house. Also note that we have not gone through winter as yet. July and even August sometimes can be produce significantly colder mornings. Autumn this year was late and also finished late. It is always interesting to see what the future will do.

Severe Weather Warning 

Issued by MetService at 12:14pm 25-Jun-2002

HEAVY RAIN IS REARING ITS HEAD AGAIN

MetService expects the rain levels to beef up on the South Island
West Coast on Wednesday as a moist northwesterly airstream alights
from the Tasman Sea. Those people living in Westland and Fiordland
can expect persistent rain tomorrow,with heavy falls about the ranges
and mountains. There is also a reasonably good chance of
thunderstorms accompanying the heavy rain. This will help to give
useful rainfalls in the catchment areas of the Canterbury lakes and
rivers.

Thanks for the update sound bad for Show Low though.We are getting some good news coverage here. Local Wx Bureau is talking of snow to low levels here on Friday night.Canberra gets a snow fall about once in two years though we see snow here more often as we are higher at 660 metres above sea level.
take care

I don't think the policy of getting the fires out at any cost has haunted us yet--but, when going against nature it could bite us at any time.The "Rodeo" fire near Show Low, AZ has burned 85,000 acres and is 0% contained. The Hayman fire is being slowly overcome as there have been rains in the area. C-U Later :)

HEllllooooo You All:
       The "Weather Bomb" was mentioned tonight on FoxNewsChannel. There was video of a blustery/rainy traffic scene on the Harbour Bridge.Also mentioned was the fact that inner island ferry trips were still on, but outer island trips have been cancelled.
        We(US) FINALLY get this news.
         Maybe all you NZ'ers should ALL take a vacation(holiday) to more tranquil Australia. After the "Bomb" detonates, then you can go back to NZ and clean up.
         Awesome Weekend To ALL    David Powell

I am not debating the fact that there weren't severe winters back in the 80's and 70's, but we live in an age that is climate controlled, and only a small percentage of the population have to 'really' endure the extremes. This morning, I left my 100 year old house, that has been refitted with insulation, plus two split systems, not to mention a radiator heater in every room. At in 1902 it had but one fireplace. I step out of the toasty house, into the crisp morning air, into my climate controlled car, and 5 minutes later, the interior of my car is a veritable oven while outside its frosty. I step out of the car into an air conditioned office and apart from when i occasionally step out to move around i am in a controlled environment. I am not really exposed to the elements at all. The average punter 50 years ago had very limited access to this technology, so they were forced to endure the extremes. Thus we look back as adults, in our climate controlled world and say it is not as cold as it used to be, where it might be closer to the truth to say that in my lifestyle to don't get exposed to the cold as much i used to. This morning while completing my morning walk, my fingers were firmly nestled into some gloves. The temperature was showing -2.9 at Cranebrook, and that was pretty nippy from my view. I do believe that urbanization does contribute to an overall warming, but obviously their are other factors at play in this also. dann ____________________________ Daniel Weatherhead weatherhead at ozemail.com.au Blaxland, NSW ============================ SYDNEY STORM CHASERS http://www.sydneystormchasers.com ============================ ----- Original Message ----- From: Jimmy Deguara To: Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 4:03 PM Subject: Re: aus-wx: Very heavy frost in Sydney's North > Hi Damian, > > I sometimes wonder?

It was the coldest morning this year. Actually to add to the point, a lot of people around here also went out before sunrise and worked in the market gardening activities and yes during the frosty mornings. A lot of them are retiring. So one would feel quite cold. However, people that made the references did refer to previous years which really were not the most extreme years. Like I said, the last extreme year was 1986 and I suppose before that 1982 had cold mornings - we were in a drought. This winter is, as I said, acting quite normal and we have the potential to see some extremes during July. The high belts will make sure of that. With a cold weather outbreak approaching, it could also mean even more severe frosts after that. So this morning was -2.9C. Great stuff. I love the -4C mornings when the ice remains on your car for 15 minutes into the trip!!! You hose off the frost only to have the water freeze on the windows. Last year was very low key in regards to frost. This year will most likely be different.

Thank you for the report from Strahan Helen & Chas...up here on Collins Cap it is certainly the "harshest" to date this year.  Atm  4C very windy tending S and very wet...if the trend continues into tonight I would anticipate snow to 500m give the synops.
I may come over for a surf if that's OK !!!!  ?????

The body acclimatises quite quickly to new temperature regimes. Is 20C warm or cold? That would depend on what you are used to. I grew up in the cold climes of southern NZ and never noticed the cold. When I travel back there now I shiver. Also I think we experience temperature differently through our life span. Children and teenagers don't notice cold or heat like adults do. I think the weather is more extreme these days. More severe storms anyway. And the climates of our larger cities have got warmer due to urban heat islands (already mentioned).

I hope it's not too hard to understand! The test was carried out on overnight minimum temperatures. First, I had to limit the test to no earlier than 1978. Data prior to that were in different, lower level parts of Seven Hills and therefore influenced the outcome very dramatically. Then, I compared June to August separately and in total. To do that I compared the data from 1991-2001 with the data from 1978-2001. Then I formulated the hypothesis: That minimum temperatures in 1991-2001 was not significantly different to those of 1978-2001. For June, the last 10 years were significantly warmer than the long term at the 95% confidence level. For July they were significantly warmer at the 97.5% confidence level For August there was no significant difference. For winter as a whole, the last 10 years were significantly warmer at the 99.5% confidence level. By 'confidence level' we mean we can state with xx% certainty that there was or was not any significant difference of the order quoted. I would reserve judgement about winter as a whole.This is because (a) it is a composite of very different variations of individual months and (b) averaging such variability over 3 months is not a very reliable measure..it probably needs a different type of statistical test. For July I would also reserve judgement as it's a bit of a borderline case. It seems it's safe to say June is definitely significantly warmer in the last 10 years than the overall average. One could do a check against frost frequency but that wouldn't be conclusive because frost is also a function of the terrestrial minimum as well as cloud cover and wind speed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Barnett" To: Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 8:31 PM Subject: Re: aus-wx: Very heavy frost in Sydney's North > I will do a little statistical analysis of winter months at Seven Hills > splitting the 37 year period into roughly 2 halves or even more finely and > see if winters/winter months are significantly different.Could be > interesting. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jimmy Deguara" > To: > Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 4:03 PM > Subject: Re: aus-wx: Very heavy frost in Sydney's North > > > > Hi Damian, > > > > I sometimes wonder?

Hello Chas & Helen.
I have been checking the air mass due on Thursday/Friday, with the core of cold air between Tasmania and Victoria, its a little early to be sure of trajectory but the thermal trough associated with this cold wave looks significant and there is a possibility of snow to lower levels i.e 300m, things will be clearer on Thursday. There also appears to be a reasonable rain band developing ahead of this trough  onThursday, especially for Victoria and Tasmania. It was interesting to hear about the large waves in your area recently, last night I could here the very recognisable sound of breaking surf here at Leopold (7 klm from Barwon Heads Beach) We only here that sound a few times each year. regards Clyve H.

Hello Ashton
 
Looks like Friday will be your snow day, Bom are talking snow down to 600m.
Let us know what happens tonight, the barometer is rising at 2hpa a hour at the moment with the wind not  expected to swing south of SW.
What is the elevation of Collins Cap?

Thank you for the report from Strahan Helen & Chas...up here on Collins Cap it is certainly the "harshest" to date this year.  Atm  4C very windy tending S and very wet...if the trend continues into tonight I would anticipate snow to 500m give the synops.
I may come over for a surf if that's OK !!!!  ?????

Hello Everyone
 
Very windy here overnight with our strongest gust - 40knots gusting 52knots. Another 24mm of rain to 8am that gives us 96mm over the last four days. Other stations are on the 150mm mark to 9am yesterday so they could be well over 200mm on the 9am report

It's a shame. Global warming is a worry, or is the warming because we are still coming to the end of the ice age? It would be interesting to study whether west of the range has colder nights these days due to the clearing of most of the vegetation. Which could also increase the daily winter temperatures while the night time winter temperatures are colder. Urban areas would be getting warmer & warmer all the time as new trees & shrubs grow to cover houses & homes are becoming warmer & warmer with new & improved heating. This could explain warmer winter readings in all the larger towns & cities, which has been discussed here before. Maybe the winter temperatures are the same as they have always been. Maybe its us that have changed our local environments. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ From: "Clyve Herbert" To: Subject: Re: aus-wx: Strahan Weather Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2002 17:50:34 +1000 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 X-OriginalArrivalTime: 27 Jun 2002 07:52:11.0670 (UTC) FILETIME=[8B800360:01C21DAF] Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com
Hi all and Chas ,Helen.
Just having a look at the sat pic about 1600, the cold pool looks as if it will move through Bass Strait and Victoria over night and Friday, the wave low west of Tasmania appears to be having a slongshot effect which is good for Victoria, although there is plenty of cold air for Tasmania to enjoy on Friday,but Vic may see a few flakes down to 400m between 0400 and 1200hrs Friday regards Clyve H.

It looks as though most of the cold air has moved  to the west of Tasmania!
 Its 6C here at 6pm the wind is from the NNE so that would put a low to our north! Have you any thoughts.

Hi Dave - that looks very similar to the radar signature on 28 May 2000 - a great day for Canberra. Given that tomorrow is also the 28th, I am beginning to get a good feeling about that number!!
 
I would, however, like to see Wagga's current temp of 9.0 fall 5 or more degrees over the next few hours. Warrnambool's 5.8 is looking good for a coastal station.
 
Cheers,
 
Patrick

Hi Chas and Helen.
There is a satellite low and associated cold pool just west of your location (was not analysed on the 1600 chart!?) I think this will become absorbed into a primary low to the southeast of Tasmania tonight,but the cold pool core seems to be heading across Bass Strait and southern Vic, so you will find that your wind direction should shift southwest or to the south overnight or tomorrow morning. There is a ridge moving in from the west later Friday which will warm the upper layers by Sat,.....overall there will be plenty for us weather lovers....regards Clyve H.

Gale force gusts here at Blackheath this evening -- highest gust so far at Mt Boyce was 78km/h around 10pm. Still quite balmy at 5.4, but I notice that Orange AP temp at midnight has dropped to 2.3, with 2.8mm precip in the past hour, I suspect now turning to snow. DP there has risen from -6 earlier in the evening to +1.
 
I suspect that the fast-moving cloudband now over the central west will drop pretty widespread light snow, and I'm hopeful that it will reach the Blue Mountains. However, behind that there doesn't seem to be much moisture. The current satpix show the wintry Cu/Cb cells dying as they move inland from western Vic/southern SA, and all the progs have low humidities at 850 and 700 for tomorrow, despite 700 temps of -10 to -12 pushing north into the Northern Tablelands (where GASP has an intriguing thickness low for 0z Friday). Here's hoping that the cloud buildup over the Central Tablelands will give enough light snow showers to build up some cover, though I doubt much will reach as far east as Blackheath.

Hi Dave - that looks very similar to the radar signature on 28 May 2000 - a great day for Canberra. Given that tomorrow is also the 28th, I am beginning to get a good feeling about that number!!
 
I would, however, like to see Wagga's current temp of 9.0 fall 5 or more degrees over the next few hours. Warrnambool's 5.8 is looking good for a coastal station.

Hello Clive
 
It looks as though most of the cold air has moved  to the west of Tasmania!
 Its 6C here at 6pm the wind is from the NNE so that would put a low to our north! Have you any thoughts.

Hi all and Chas ,Helen.
Just having a look at the sat pic about 1600, the cold pool looks as if it will move through Bass Strait and Victoria over night and Friday, the wave low west of Tasmania appears to be having a slongshot effect which is good for Victoria, although there is plenty of cold air for Tasmania to enjoy on Friday,but Vic may see a few flakes down to 400m between 0400 and 1200hrs Friday regards Clyve H.

That sounds right Bussy, back to wind low to right.
What I did not explain was the wind here in the morning from the north then to the NW for two hours until 10am then back to the N with it sitting in the NE most of the day. After posting the email the wind went E then SE it is now from the SSE.

There is actually a contact for him on his main page which can be found here : http://apollo.ps.gen.nz/~windy/ One thing that struck me about the area as I was flying in not long ago was the vast scenery difference either side of the heads. On the Northern side is the Waitakere region that is extremely Volcanic with plenty of Black Sand beaches and amazing Vegetation growth in the surrounding mountains. However on the southern side (Which is where this guy is located) the scenery takes on a completely different look of rolling green hills and a wide open coastline that stretches for miles to the south.

Hi all snow bunnies!
Although I don't think I fit the Crazy all the time category, just some of the time....!  I took off to the central ranges of Victoria this morning I wont tell you I left Leopold at 0400hrs with heavy showers and a temp of 6c, I arrived at Ballan around 0500 with the temp still around 4c and was a little puzzled at the weak low level lapse rate (Ballan 450m), the explanation though was behind me ..Bass Strait sea surface temp is still around 14c and this cold southwest flow was showing a modified low level warming. No sooner had I moved a few kilometres north of Ballan and ascended to about 550m and it was a different story with the temp falling to 1c and reaching -0.5 at 717m just south of Daylesford, there was still no snow here at 0530 although I did go through a brief fall of sleet at about 600m. Ten minutes later I was enveloped in fog of heavy snow with virtually nil visibility, the ground was covered within a few minutes, at Daylesford there was already 2cm on the ground and a howling southerly, temp showing 0c. A bit of a look around and then off to Trentham ,the 22k's from Daylesford was a nightmare with blinding heavy snow and slippery roads....it was great... At Trentham the band of snow had just arrived at 0700 and had put down 2cm within 15minutes, a drive south to Newberry 800m (Trentham 700m) and winter wonderland! 6 to 8cm all of it had fallen within the last hour, the roads here were treacherous I counted 6 vehicles abandoned next to the road, over the next 4 hours it was Disneyland in the snow, there was 10cm at Mt Macedon 1003m and soon a number of local roads were closed in that area. At 1300hrs I drove back to Trentham with snow still on the ground but further west at Musk there was still 6 to 8cm piled everywhere at 1400hrs  whoopee.......Did  I say I was crazy some of the time.............Best wishes ....Clyve Herbert...

We've had a few flurries this afternoon in Blackheath, but nothing's settled. We may do better overnight as the wind gets around more to the south. If it snows, I'm sure either Lindsay or I will post to the list immediately!

It was quite cold so any precipitation light or heavier was falling as sleet or snow. I enjoyed the flurry but then headed back home. I didn't bother staying there as I didn't expect anything spectacular. I wanted to go earlier but was not going to take a day off work.

Subject: aus-wx: Central Vic Snow chase.

Hi all snow bunnies!
Although I don't think I fit the Crazy all the time category, just some of the time....!  I took off to the central ranges of Victoria this morning I wont tell you I left Leopold at 0400hrs with heavy showers and a temp of 6c, I arrived at Ballan around 0500 with the temp still around 4c and was a little puzzled at the weak low level lapse rate (Ballan 450m), the explanation though was behind me ..Bass Strait sea surface temp is still around 14c and this cold southwest flow was showing a modified low level warming. No sooner had I moved a few kilometres north of Ballan and ascended to about 550m and it was a different story with the temp falling to 1c and reaching -0.5 at 717m just south of Daylesford, there was still no snow here at 0530 although I did go through a brief fall of sleet at about 600m. Ten minutes later I was enveloped in fog of heavy snow with virtually nil visibility, the ground was covered within a few minutes, at Daylesford there was already 2cm on the ground and a howling southerly, temp showing 0c. A bit of a look around and then off to Trentham ,the 22k's from Daylesford was a nightmare with blinding heavy snow and slippery roads....it was great... At Trentham the band of snow had just arrived at 0700 and had put down 2cm within 15minutes, a drive south to Newberry 800m (Trentham 700m) and winter wonderland! 6 to 8cm all of it had fallen within the last hour, the roads here were treacherous I counted 6 vehicles abandoned next to the road, over the next 4 hours it was Disneyland in the snow, there was 10cm at Mt Macedon 1003m and soon a number of local roads were closed in that area. At 1300hrs I drove back to Trentham with snow still on the ground but further west at Musk there was still 6 to 8cm piled everywhere at 1400hrs  whoopee.......Did  I say I was crazy some of the time.............Best wishes ....Clyve Herbert...

Hi Phil and all.
For those of us interested in global tropo stuff, there are two areas of activity in the Pacific,....There is a large area of cloud associated with a rather good surface positive convective region at 135 E and 10 Nth, although the upper considerations are not as good with weak 300 to 200 divergence. A better area is at 5 Nth and 155 E which is supporting spiral banding and better upper divergence also rather close to the Equator at 5 nth, there also seems to be a mirror cloud area at 5 Sth 155 E although this development is weak and sits ahead of a mid lat upper long wave trough. regards Clyve H.

Severe Weather Watch 

SEVERE WEATHER WATCH FOR OTAGO SOUTHLAND
ISSUED BY METSERVICE AT 1240hrs 29-Jun-2002

RISK OF HEAVY RAIN DEVELOPING ON SUNDAY NEAR THE EASTERN RANGES OF
OTAGO AND IN SOUTHLAND, TURNING TO SNOW DOWN TO ABOUT 600 METRES. 

A band of rain over central New Zealand is moving slowly southwards
in a northeasterly flow.  There is a risk that it will stall over
southern New Zealand on Sunday evening as winds turn southeast there
and strengthen.  
If it does, 75mm of rain is possible in the eastern ranges of Otago
and inland Southland, with up to 40 or 50mm at lower levels, with the
bulk of it over a period of 12 to 18 hours from about 3pm Sunday.
Rain may be slow to ease during Monday.

Farmers particularly should note that snow levels will probably drop
to about 600 metres from Sunday night and even in the rain, windchill
temperatures could be low enough to cause stress for stock in the
open.

Forecasters are keeping a watch, and advise residents and travellers
in eastern Otago and throughout Southland to monitor weather
forecasts for their area.  

This Watch will be reviewed by 11am Sunday 30th June

Rodney Wallbridge and I arrived at Guyra meeting up with Sam Macdonald and his 2 brothers who has arrived earlier and booked into a motel. Temp was hovering around the 0 mark but there was very little cloud overhead. A 40 to 50 km/h SW wind was blowing. The 5 of us had quite a fun and lively discussion on weather and non-weather matters for many hours, waiting and watching as the cloud moved in and the wind shifted to SSW. Some sleet (frozen drizzle) began around midnight but there were still breaks in the cloud. Some lightning was observed to the distant SE (off the Mid North Coast). Rodney and I left the motel at 1.30am this morning and headed north to Ben Lomond. We had decided earlier to camp out - and did ! We found a spot away from trees along a quiet road heading to Ben Lomond township. It was below 0 with strong SSW winds and some sleet. It felt like about -10. Anyway, we stayed there from 2am till 7am, but only some more sleet occurred, no snow. Dave Ellem (from Lismore area) rang me at some stage (3am ish) so I reported not to bother heading up. In the morning, the car was covered in ice and sleet, and so was Rodney is his snow weather one-man tent thing - looked like a body bag on the grass ! Quite amusing (I had the luxury of sleeping in the car). We took some footage of a frozen over creek, and throwing rocks into it did not even break the ice. Temp was -3 with a 40km/h SSW wind. Felt like -15 and my fingers froze very quickly while taking pics and video. Clouds had almost completely cleared to sunny. We met up with Anthony Cornelius, Paul Miracki and Michael Powell shortly afterwards then headed into Glen Innes for breakfast by 830am. All cloud had cleared. We found out from a servo that snow had fallen at Walcha (S of Armidale and about 100ks from where we were) - no indication of the timing or depth of the fall. It was annoying to know we had missed the action, but good to know the forecast was right for the Northern Tablelands. Got back to Lismore area about 1pm. A great fun experience despite the lack of snow. cheers, Michael ================================================================== Michael Bath mailto:mbath at ozemail.com.au McLeans Ridges co-webmaster: http://australiasevereweather.com/ North Coast NSW webmaster: http://lightningphotography.com/ Australia webmaster: http://www.severeweather.asn.au/ ================================================================== +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ From: "Chas & Helen Osborn" To: Subject: Re: aus-wx: Tropo stuff NH.

G'day Michael and all

No snow in Canberra itself, but had the distinct pleasure this morning of 18 holes of golf accompanied by a very white Brindabellas in the background.  Life's good when you can launch a 300 metre shot with the driver (yes - golfers exagerrate like fisherpersons) towards a vista of snow covered peaks.  The only downside is having to stop at each green and remove the accreted frost from your spikes.

Hi Michael et. all
 
Heard reports of flurry's in the city and there was 1 here early Friday morning. A "snow storm" developed over south Canberra around sunset, nice Cold air Cb forming from (my estimate) SW of Tidbinbilla Mt (updraft and anvil visible there) with it extending E over the very southern suburbs... Heard on the news of 50cm near Tharwa cutting of Tharwa till mid morning.
 
Went up to Corin Forest this morning but a lot of what had fallen yesterday had already melted. Corin Forrest road was closed 1/3rd the way up and a short 150m walk we were greeted to extremely Icy road and 2-3cm of snow on the shoulders, Easterly sloping embankments were also covered. 1km further up, the tree line stopped and the road was clear until the trees started again 200m further up, there was 4-5cm of snow about 200m off the road where people were building snow jimmy's. I then turned around and headed back as my family didn't want to go any further, my little bro wanted to see snow, and they were back playing in it. on the way back down I slipped and fell over but nobody cared as I wasn't the first to do it, and sure wasn't the last., Corin Forrest apparently has 30cm cover so it would have good to go all the way, but it was another 6kms up the road in cold and windy condition, there was no way I was going up there, lol
 
here is the corin forest report (the date is a day out tho)
 
I wish the ACT government would do something about clearing the road!!! I have never seen so many people up there, must of been 150 at least (that I saw) and that was at Midday!
 
Cheers

G'day Michael and all

No snow in Canberra itself, but had the distinct pleasure this morning of 18 holes of golf accompanied by a very white Brindabellas in the background.  Life's good when you can launch a 300 metre shot with the driver (yes - golfers exagerrate like fisherpersons) towards a vista of snow covered peaks.  The only downside is having to stop at each green and remove the accreted frost from your spikes.

Hi Chas & Helen,
 
there's a fair number of links to some pretty good stuff here in the section 'Tropical Resources'.....and then on the links (like to Carl & Phil's pages, there are even more links!!)  http://www.stormchasers.au.com/austres.htm
 
The main Weather Cafe page can be found here
 
Happy reading!!

Hi Phil and all.
For those of us interested in global tropo stuff, there are two areas of activity in the Pacific,....There is a large area of cloud associated with a rather good surface positive convective region at 135 E and 10 Nth, although the upper considerations are not as good with weak 300 to 200 divergence. A better area is at 5 Nth and 155 E which is supporting spiral banding and better upper divergence also rather close to the Equator at 5 nth, there also seems to be a mirror cloud area at 5 Sth 155 E although this development is weak and sits ahead of a mid lat upper long wave trough. regards Clyve H.

Evening all,
 
Went up to Marysville today - huge amounts of snow still lying about after the road had been ploughed although none fell today (I didn't turn at the last turnoff to Lake Mountain - there were too many 'snow fools' doing stupid things on the road for me to venture amongst them) - so I went past and continued towards Cambarville (~900m?).  Seems the area at this height got between 6 and 12cm (there would have been huge amounts more at 1433m!!!) & there were still small patches lying between Narbethong and Marysville.  Will get some images up hopefully tomorrow.  A few more snow reports to come........ hey Macca...did you get snow?
 
Just out of Marysville at Steavenson Falls, there was still snow lying (patchy) at ~420m.
 
Jane

saw on sky news tonight that mexico city had a 45 minute hailstorm dumping hail up to a metre deep, cant confirm that but i did see footage of hail drifts at least 1\2 metre deep, size appeared to be pea to marble. not a bad dump. ive been in a hailstorm where 5mins. put 2" on the ground once, in a large open fronted shed at the time, the racket even with my fingers firmly plugged in my ears was almost unbearable, 45mins. of it would be tortourous to say the least. that amount of hail would surley have caved a few roofs.

Evening all,
 
Does anyone know of a site that gives exact heights of geographical locations around Australia?  (the Auslig site doesn't give heights)
 
or ..... specifically - I'm after Cambarville in Victoria.
 
Back to fighting with my computer software..........
 
Thanks,
 
Jane

i cant give a spot height, but cambarville comes in a tad over 950m on the contour intervals. mt. arnold to the nw comes in at 1250m while lake mountain to the north is 1433m.
 
if anyone else wants to know elevations just post in, ive got a set of 1;250,000 maps for the whole of aus........somewhere.
