I had noticed a resonable area of convection north of the ACT yesterday at 2:30pm around the areas of the snowfalls, and initilally thought of a large thunderstorm was the reason, but then got a call saying the trucks had been delayed and then it clicked. :-) Cheers --------------------------------------------------------- Simon Angell Canberra ACT www.canberra-wx.com --------------------------------------------------------- Member of: Australian Severe Weather Association. www.severeweather.asn.au --------------------------------------------------------- This email is virus free.

(I = Robert Goler) For those not in the know, this is a field experiment involving people from Monash Uni in Melbourne (where I'm from), people from the BoM and people from the University of Munich in Germany. We're all here to collect data from weather stations, pilot balloons, and radiosondes to study the morning glory around the southern Cape York Peninsula, and the north Australian cloud line over the northern peninsula. There is no mobile coverage up here, so I'll occasionally post an email or two on the list when something interesting happens. For some basic info about what these cloud lines look like, see here: http://www.maths.monash.edu.au/~robert/Thesis/introduction.html I arrived on Sunday with a fellow student after driving all the way up from Melbourne leaving Wednesday. Had to drive up with Monash Uni's 4wd as we had to take a whole load of equipment up with us. The trip was pretty uneventful, ie no break downs or fatal encounters with wildlife...although quite a few bugs got up close and personal with the windshield. The most exciting parts were the dust filled skies around Jerilderie on Wednesday, and coming into Goondiwindi on Thursday night where we did see some distant lightning further to the north. For the record we stayed the night at West Wyalong, Goondiwindi, Rockhampton (a real dodgey place!) and Townsville, and sampled what nightlife they had on offer...hence the late starts the following morning...hehe! In Karumba we've had southerlies the past 2 days as a cold front passed through early on Sunday morning. However conditions should be ok for the next few days for morning glories to form, so hopefully something exciting will happen!

Don't believe everything you hear. First of all,I assume you are referring to Sunday afternoon, 2nd - Sutton forest is near Bowral - Mittagong and quite a distance from Goulburn. 3rd - the 3 pm temps in both Bowral and Moss Vale were 11 degrees.(In goulburn it was 12) and in Moss Vale it fell to 9 at 4pm - hardly "snow" temps. Bowral did report past storm at 6 pm. A friend who was in Bowral playing golf told me there was a fair bit of small hail as the storm passed around 4-4.30 but nothing unusual for such an event. Snow remains the most mis-reported meteorological phenomenon in Australia... more so even than the famous "mini tornado"! So, as a weather list, let's not encourage this.

Hi Bussy
The best thing I find about XP is it's stability and it's ability to hardly ever be reset. As I run my AWS 24hrs a day I have the PC on all the time. I think I didn't reset my PC for close to a month not so long ago and it was still running fast before I did reset it. I would certainly recommend it.

Richard this is typical media hyperbole. The trigger point for restrictions in Melbourne in October is 52% and the reservoirs are at 54.1%... 2% might not sound like much but it is. The trigger point for November is 54%, so we could conceivably go into restriction a month from now if we have next to no rain this month (but October is one of our wettest months around Melbourne). Further details on the % triggers can be found at http://www.melbournewater.com.au/system/navsearch.asp Looking at these, I would expect the crunch period for restrictions to be -December-January when the cut-off is 53-52%. A very dry October-November could see our dams approaching these values. As for bringing restriction in earlier, personally I think that is just silly. These restriction levels are well thought out trigger levels based on history; bringing them in earlier would just amount to scaremongering. Philosophically, I don't agree with the way restrictions are imposed as they ignore the most wasteful water practices in our society. For example, why should home owners be able to purchase top loading washing machines which use ~200 litres of water per load while a front loader will do the same job with half as many litres. The same goes for water saving shower heads, dual flush toilets, dish washers etc (BTW I have water tanks, dual flush toilets, a water saving dish washers, a front loading washing machine, and recycle grey water). Depriving home owners of keeping their gardens alive during drought seems like a silly knee jerk reaction to me.

I run XP Professional on the desktop (upgraded from Win 98) and XP Home on the laptop (came with it). Both seem pretty stable and run a lot quicker than Win 98.I'm annoyed that Java doesn't come with it (due to Microsoft's lawsuit). I upgraded the desktop from 256 to 512MB of RAM and this made quite a difference to speed (not surprisingly) not only for XP but everything else.Clock speed is 1GHz. There have been a few times when things suddenly run dead slow ie things seem to get stuck in the pipeline until you hit Alt-F4 and then it fixes itself so I don't know what that is.
I would recommend upgrading..the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.

I made a similar reply on WZ.

Don't believe everything you hear. First of all,I assume you are referring to Sunday afternoon, 2nd - Sutton forest is near Bowral - Mittagong and quite a distance from Goulburn. 3rd - the 3 pm temps in both Bowral and Moss Vale were 11 degrees.(In goulburn it was 12) and in Moss Vale it fell to 9 at 4pm - hardly "snow" temps. Bowral did report past storm at 6 pm. A friend who was in Bowral playing golf told me there was a fair bit of small hail as the storm passed around 4-4.30 but nothing unusual for such an event. Snow remains the most mis-reported meteorological phenomenon in Australia... more so even than the famous "mini tornado"! So, as a weather list, let's not encourage this.

The result would be a smaller ozone hole with different properties to the usual.

Here in Broadford, we are on H2O restrictions, including NON WATERING of lawns. Since the start of last summer, I have saved all dishwashing water for the lawn, and carried it out in buckets. I wrang the local water authority about this, and they said that if you can prove you are recycling waste water, there is not an issue. How do you prove that to an officious inspector if one comes along checking a neighbours complaint?? (I have told neighbours for months about the buckets to save their water bills).

Well, the most severe restrictions I can recall were in Woodend during the 1982 drought. For several months, we were restricted to 60l per person/day. Baths were shared, that water was then recycled into the washing, then used to water the garden. Couldn't afford to let anything go to waste, and had to read the meter each day to make sure we stayed under the limit. From memory, these restrictions were in force for the spring and summer, until the drought broke in March/April 1983. 73 de Tony, VK3JED http://vkradio.com X-Sender: vk3jed-1 at 202.12.87.169 X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1 Date: Tue, 01 Oct 2002 22:59:51 +1000 To: aussie-weather at world.std.com From: "Tony Langdon (VK3JED)" Subject: Re: aus-wx: Bloody scary stuff Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com At 08:21 PM 1/10/2002 +1000, you wrote: > Now.

I was close to the Mt Macedon Ash Wednesday fires and will never forget that day, or the ones that followed. I was off school, because they deemed it unsafe to take buses through, and on one of those days I helped Dad and local contractors install temporary power for people burnt out and starting to rebuild. Later in the day, we went to Aireys Inlet to arrange a new fire station (Dad was in the property section of the CFA), and the devastation there was total as well. I was thinking only this morning that this year is like the lead up to Ash Wednesday. 73 de Tony, VK3JED http://vkradio.com X-Sender: jdeguara at pop.ihug.com.au X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1 Date: Tue, 01 Oct 2002 23:25:47 +1000 To: aussie-weather at world.std.com From: Jimmy Deguara Subject: aus-wx: Featured image of the month Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com http://www.australiasevereweather.com/photography/features/200210.htm 1st September 2001 including the LP supercell near Wyong linked from this page http://www.australiasevereweather.com/photography/index.html further down ----------------------------------------- Please note the change to my new e-mail address: jdeguara at australiasevereweather.com Storm Chasing Tours - Thunderbolt Tours - http://www.thunderbolttours.com ----------------------------------------- Jimmy Deguara Storm Chaser and Mathematics Teacher from Schofields, Sydney NSW Australia e-mail:jdeguara at australiasevereweather.com Web Page with Michael Bath Australian Severe Weather Home Page http://www.australiasevereweather.com Member of the Australian Severe Weather Association 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: "arky dave" To: Subject: aus-wx: September 2002 Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2002 13:07:00 -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

Hi all,
        I was explaining to my daughter just the other day of the real possibility of an Ash Wednesday repeat. Rember the big fire near Puckapunyal this year? It got to within 12 klms of here before the wind change. At the time, my daughter found it amusing seeing us put important stuff in the cars.
Things are not looking good.
Cheers Peter

Cheers, Don White I think it gets mis-reported when people are passing through an area and see a coating of white on the ground, but only after the frozen stuff has stopped falling. They then assume it's snow. The majority of people would most probably know the difference between hail and snow when it's falling, but fewer probably recognise the difference when it's on the ground. (you have to look closely) Another sign distinguishing snow and hail is the location of the fall - snow usually settles above a certain altitude, while hail is less discriminatory about altitude. However, (especially this time of the year in SE Australia and NZ), heavy thunder and hailstorms may quite possibly lower the temperature of the air where they hit, locally lowering freezing levels for a time, allowing snow to fall to lower levels than expected. It seems likely that the changeable weather affecting SE Australia and NZ is set to continue for some time - blame El NIno or more likely some other cause. One thing that irritates me a bit about the media reporting on weather events is that when they cover a wintry outbreak this time of the year in SE Oz and NZ , they often refer to it as the 'last gasp of winter'. And guess what happens a few weeks later - another wintry blast (just as cold as the previous one) strikes.

This is the second such warning in two weeks, but hopefully conditions won't be as bad as last time (that was the Sunday when the fire broke out near Cape Otway and in the upper Yarra). My understanding is that northern Victoria has observed crown fires even in June, so extreme fire danger in October (which distinctly uncomfortable), is probably not that rare. BTW further to my post earlier in the week, the progs are showing a convergence towards a significant trough/low developing through central Vic in the coming two days (eg NOGAPS at http://152.80.49.205/CGI/PUBLIC/wxmap_all.cgi?type=prod&area=ngp_ausnz&prod= prp ) This type of system is the "almost-classic" heavy rain producer for central Victoria. This is certainly one to watch. I wouldn't be surprised to see 25-50mm falls in the topographically favored central areas IF this eventuates. Also... watch for a strong front early next week...

Hi all,
Only managed to scrape together 35mm of rain in the old gauge for September... the lowest amount I've recorded so far since I got my wx station.
 
September's readings from my wx station (in Morphett Vale, SA) can be found here if anyone is interested : http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/stargazer/monthsumseptember2002.htm

Simon (Can-Wx) has recieved a few so im led to believe, looks like we better ALL have a close look at our systems again, Warnings are running rife in #weather chat. Luckily, operating a mac im not remotely susceptible to these, but now that i have spoken up, if my mail server is alerting to me to virii/trojans, i wont be such a nice person as i am now. Cmon everyone, lets sort this crap out now before this mailing list dissolves. Turn the bloody html coding off and get on with business. The experienced will KNOW that html coding will harbour virii and trojans, if it will take less than a minute of your time to disable it before posting to the list, it will save a hell of a lot of anger, frustration, computers and ill feeling directed to the aus-wx mailing list, where it is not rightfully deserved. Its simple, and isnt restricted to this mailing list only.

I would never doubt anything Clyve ever sent. What a knowledgeable man !!!
If he would ever try to virus effect anyone !! A man who freely gives out information in a term I can understand. Rock on Clyve !
CLYVE is not infected !!!!

That's a downpour !!.  I have not had 35mm since July 1 to date. That being said this dry is the most acute I have seen. I have seen longer term dry spells with more rain, but nothing matching the last three months.

Hi all,
Only managed to scrape together 35mm of rain in the old gauge for September... the lowest amount I've recorded so far since I got my wx station.
 
September's readings from my wx station (in Morphett Vale, SA) can be found here if anyone is interested : http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/stargazer/monthsumseptember2002.htm
