I doubt these gusts are real. YHOT Mt Hotham is actually the new
Dinner Plain airport AWS, substantially lower (~200 or 300m) than
HOTH, which is the long-established AWS on the summit. It has been
throwing up some very strange obs in the past few days, and a gust
ratio of nearly 4 to 1 seems unbelievable. Unfortunately, the summit
AWS is out of service, and the Falls Creek AWS was reporting calm
conditions until someone did the 9am obs and knocked the ice/snow off
the anemometer, after which the wind immediately rose to 16 kts
gusting 24 ;-).

  Does anyone on this list know more about the cold outbreak which recently
affected South Africa?. I read some details in a South African online
newspaper, but since I don't have a world atlas on me at present, so I don't
know the altitudes of the snow-affected towns. Looking at the models, it
seems South America (esp. Argentina) is also in the grip of icy southerlies.
 Mild and partly cloudy in Christchurch today though. However, the
situation, which has been paralysed for weeks, is finally changing as a
trough crosses from the west. MetService is forecasting snow to 'low-levels
on the southern South Island ranges' tomorrow.

Ben, the weekly global summary from Climate Prediction Center at
http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/GLOB_CLIM/
are good for this sort of information. The International Crop
Summaries from NOAA/US Dept of Agriculture at
http://www.usda.gov/oce/waob/jawf/wwcb.html are also useful.

This is actually quite tame for the AWS at YHOT at the moment - all week
it has been generating SPECIs with 150 to 170 knot gusts - needless to
say, the confidence level is rather low!! 

Cheers,

Jonty.

Hi,


Here are some lunar eclipse pictures I took using the SLR, most of the 
images are taken through a 4.5" newtonian telescope (eyepiece projected), 
The last three images are taken using the 28-70mm lense. The first picture 
on the Last URL was taken by doing a time exposure of about 20 minutes as 
the moon was going into totality, giving an interesting result.

Picture URLs:

I will have these images on the SA site shortly

Blackheath: Saturday PM sometime, (I wrote this offline)

Hi all,

* 
Actually Andrew (Miskelly), it got to 5.5 at my place not 5 as I said in
an earlier   email, the sun came out and gave us another half a degree
by mid afternoon.

* 
Hey all, I like the deepish fetch of that high on the Bureau's four day
forecast   charts. Noticed that there is still no "snow" in the text
forecasts for later in     the week. Is  this a fairly standard RFC
procedure, that is, to wait for a day or     two out before putting snow
in the forecast? Does the RFC follow a certain protocol for key words
used in forecasting? It sometimes seems a little confusing...

* 
Had a funny experience with the Jehovah's Witness folk at the door on
Thursday. 
To cut along story short, my Jack Russell terrier stole the ladies glove
and ran      around the yard (He gets excited in the wind) and then
after their usual Watch Tower
promotion (we had an enjoyable/brief-ish chat on theology/philosophy) we
got into chatting about the weather! For 15 minutes they asked questions
about local weather etc without once mentioning the "End Times and
Proselyting Australia on a Push Bike" and the guy is keen on joining
ASWA! So, who converted who? :-) 

It would have made a great photo, me standing there with my weather text
book and them with their watchtowers!
