Hi Bussy and everyone,
 
We only got 8.5 mm for January at Mona Vale NSW, does anyone know what the previous lowest rainfall for the northern beaches or could this be the lowest.
 
The grass is brown now and those who water their grass are getting so obvious.

At first glance it looks like an overcast layer of cirrostratus, but closer inspection fails to detect a halo.
We are not used to such polluted looking skies in NZ, but everytime there is a major bush fire event in Australia
we seem to get the smoke in our atmosphere.  Makes sunset and sunrise particularly colourful.

Hi All,
 
Well for Mt. Crosby at least Nil is my recorded rainfall for Jan, as I record at midnight to midnight.  However it has indeed started raining, if you can call a tiny pricking off/on ultralight drizzle rain.  2.4mm in the guage as at 9:00am, which still cleans up the record for the driest January in this part of the world...  Will be interesting to see what Amberley reports.  I suspect many centres in SEQ will have recorded their driest ever January.
 
John.

Dear All,
 
We just went outside to farewell a visitor and discovered that the ants are very busy building a dirt wall around their hole in the ground.  We haven't actually seen any evidence of ant activity for months now. 
 
Do they know something,  I hope so!

Hi all,
 
January results are here if interested for Morphett Vale, Adelaide.
 
 
I thought January was going to pass by without any rainfall until the 29th/30th came by & got a total of 22mm :)

No, that's not a silly question. Broadly speaking, it's how often we might expect the particular event to recur.

Hi Bussy,
 
About 12 months ago a friend in Canada sent me a weather stick.  I think it is made at a piece of Hickory wood and yes it does seem to "work". 
 
We have it attached to the rail on our deck.  Right now the air is very humid, we are about a kilometre at the sea.  The stick is about half way up [or down],  I happened to be on the deck one day taking photos of a storm that was coming and just before the rain started I saw the stick drop down to its lowest position, in really dry weather with not much humidity it stands almost straight up, but like the picture the slight bowing in the stick never straightens right out.
 
She sent it to me for a bit of a joke since she knows how interested I am in the weather.  I will actually forward your e-mail to her and perhaps she will know more about it.  I know that we do kind of joke about it, saying that the stick says rain or the stick says no rain.  But other than saying that it indicates rain and then when the air begins to dry out afterwards it begins to resume its usual upward position, we really have no idea how.  It doesn't seem to be able to absorb much moisture, it doesn't swell, or become soft and to touch it is very hard and dried up feeling ALL of the time.
 
I was actually quite surprised when I found your e-mail.
Judy

The nearest thing I have to a weather stick is the plastic red indian in my house, which has a piece of impregnated blotting paper, and the following caption:
'Apon blue
Sky is too
Apron pink
Weather stink'
 
(The blue being due to the absorption of moisture by the cobalt chloride impregnation)

Hi Bussy,
 
About 12 months ago a friend in Canada sent me a weather stick.  I think it is made at a piece of Hickory wood and yes it does seem to "work". 
 
We have it attached to the rail on our deck.  Right now the air is very humid, we are about a kilometre at the sea.  The stick is about half way up [or down],  I happened to be on the deck one day taking photos of a storm that was coming and just before the rain started I saw the stick drop down to its lowest position, in really dry weather with not much humidity it stands almost straight up, but like the picture the slight bowing in the stick never straightens right out.
 
She sent it to me for a bit of a joke since she knows how interested I am in the weather.  I will actually forward your e-mail to her and perhaps she will know more about it.  I know that we do kind of joke about it, saying that the stick says rain or the stick says no rain.  But other than saying that it indicates rain and then when the air begins to dry out afterwards it begins to resume its usual upward position, we really have no idea how.  It doesn't seem to be able to absorb much moisture, it doesn't swell, or become soft and to touch it is very hard and dried up feeling ALL of the time.
 
I was actually quite surprised when I found your e-mail.
Judy

Hi Bussy, Keith and Everyone,
 
Here is the traditional story about the weather stick.

Judy - Here we go with the legend. It is rather lengthy but well worth reading about.
 
Long ago, through the mists of time live
dee Gree, the Seeker, who constantly sought answers to his questions. Why, where and how were the words he lived by. The ansers to his questions provided many benefits to his people.
 
Dee Gree had a daughter Mercury, a truly wonderful child who had a very special power. Mercury could predict the weather. She could tell when it would rain, when the sun would shine, or as was most often the case, when it might do a little of both.
 
Dee Gree was very fond of Mercury and fairly imagined that the sun rose and set upon her. However misfortune befell the Seeker. One tragic day an unexpected and extremely violent storm arose, and poor Mercury, even though she had seen it coming, was swept away in the torrent and drowned.
 
 
dee Gree was overwrought but he vowed that he would find the answer to Mercury's power, and thus prevent similar tragedy for his people. His fevered quest caused great upheaval in the land. He sought high, he sought low, and she sought everywhere for weeks and months without rest, until finally Mother Nature itself, wishing for some peace and quiet should at Dee Gree, "Go Climb aTree".
 
Dee Gree in his fervor heard "Climate Tree" and was reminded of the special tree with the finger like branches growing by his daughter's bedroom window. After much study and contemplation Dee Gree saw the answer; up for the sun and down for the rain. At last he understood his poor daughter's secret. Now you too can obtain some degree of insight into what tomorrow will bring since Mercury's secret has been passed on the Round Barn and they have created "The Weatherstick".
 
It should be noted that since the time of Dee Gree history records that no man's daughter has been swept away who had the wisdom to have a Weatherstick attached to his door and paid heed to its message.
 
Well there is the "legend" but as to how the stick actually works your guess is as good as mine. All I know is that it predicts the weather better than the weatherman. It is made here in Ontario. The address of the company who makes it is  The Round Tree, Thessalon, Ontario Canada P0R 1L0. They may be able to give some anwers for you. I don't have an email for them.
 
Our weather is a bit warmer - actually coming to 0 degrees which is warm for us. It is supposed to be about 0 to minus 5 for the next week.

I remember as a young kid that my mum and dad had this little house thing on the shelf that when it was going to rain the blue man came out or dry the pink lady came out, or the other way around as I'm not sure. Anyone else have one of these or know how they worked?

I have one myself. It's called a 'weather house'. When it's supposed to be going to rain, a man with an umbrella comes out. If it's supposed to be fine, a lady comes out.
I suspect it also works on humidity; the degree of moisture causing a sensitive thread to lengthen or shorten, activating a mechanical device that's attached to the common platform shared by the man and the woman. As it turns one way or the other, so the man or woman comes out.
I found a trap though with these. The instructions for use say 'only adjust once' (you do that by turning the chimney top on the house, which supports the mechanism). I found that doing it again (or if someone starts playing with it etc) for some reason renders the whole thing totally inaccurate (relative to the accuracy it had in the first place).

They do work. I sell them at here, having imported them in bulk at the US. They are balsam fur, in other words balsa wood and you could easily make one yourself. Yes they absorb moisture and droop accordingly. An old bit of seaweed would do the same job but these look cuter. You get about 6-8 hours weather warning at them. I have them all around the house. Early in the morning they tend to be drooped a little, due to the moisture at the night, so you allow for that.
cheers

Hi Neville,
 
Not sure who started (spotted??? lol ) the CLOUD first but for a while there back around June/July 2002 we had a period of no clouds over a large area of Australia & it got to the stage where people were keeping an eye out for any cloud to appear & when it did reports hit the list here like *news headlines* (all tongue in cheek of course :) - a bit of a running joke on this list. 
 
Photos of the elusive CLOUD even made it to some websites, eg.... 
 
Oh, & the "IncrediMail" thing... it's just a new fad for email. Using their program u can add backgrounds, animated pictures/characters to your every day email to *spice it up, so to speak... a bit of a gimmick but otherwise no harm.
 
Hope this helps
:)

Neville,
 
life was breathed into 'The Cloud' by Michael Thompson (ASWA NSW) a couple / few years ago and the saga began here http://www.stormchasers.au.com/humour.htm and has been not so seriously tracked about the place ever since.
 
'The Cloud' should only be worried about if it is sitting over you throwing flangs at you and you have no shelter <g>
 
Cheers,
 
Jane

Can you still get them? I'd love to be able to show my kids and others as they think I was dreaming :-)

I have one myself. It's called a 'weather house'. When it's supposed to be going to rain, a man with an umbrella comes out. If it's supposed to be fine, a lady comes out.
I suspect it also works on humidity; the degree of moisture causing a sensitive thread to lengthen or shorten, activating a mechanical device that's attached to the common platform shared by the man and the woman. As it turns one way or the other, so the man or woman comes out.
I found a trap though with these. The instructions for use say 'only adjust once' (you do that by turning the chimney top on the house, which supports the mechanism). I found that doing it again (or if someone starts playing with it etc) for some reason renders the whole thing totally inaccurate (relative to the accuracy it had in the first place).

That would be great if you could forward it on.
I remember as a young kid that my mum and dad had this little house thing on the shelf that when it was going to rain the blue man came out or dry the pink lady came out, or the other way around as I'm not sure. Anyone else have one of these or know how they worked?

Hi Bussy,
 
About 12 months ago a friend in Canada sent me a weather stick.  I think it is made at a piece of Hickory wood and yes it does seem to "work". 
 
We have it attached to the rail on our deck.  Right now the air is very humid, we are about a kilometre at the sea.  The stick is about half way up [or down],  I happened to be on the deck one day taking photos of a storm that was coming and just before the rain started I saw the stick drop down to its lowest position, in really dry weather with not much humidity it stands almost straight up, but like the picture the slight bowing in the stick never straightens right out.
 
She sent it to me for a bit of a joke since she knows how interested I am in the weather.  I will actually forward your e-mail to her and perhaps she will know more about it.  I know that we do kind of joke about it, saying that the stick says rain or the stick says no rain.  But other than saying that it indicates rain and then when the air begins to dry out afterwards it begins to resume its usual upward position, we really have no idea how.  It doesn't seem to be able to absorb much moisture, it doesn't swell, or become soft and to touch it is very hard and dried up feeling ALL of the time.
 
I was actually quite surprised when I found your e-mail.
Judy

Thanks Jane, Paul & Simon,

for putting me in the picture. I guess I was out of touch with the Incredimail thing - just looked a bit suspicious with the two different names and all (pays to be cautious). Well worth a look though.

Cheers

Neville
