@MN5 winter is stunning. highs of 25 every day, lows in the single digits. sunny. dry. just awesome.

I'm continually searching for a workplace that is based in both Sydney and Cairns so that I could spend 6 months in Sydney and then 6 months in Cairns. Sadly it appears to be a unicorn.

Fuck working, it would interfere too much with your lunch and coffee engagements.

Sadly I don't have an endless pool of money so eventually I'll have to start working again ... I generally keep the lunch and coffee engagements while working though.

Get. Fucked.

Yikes.

Was hail in Howard just west of us earlier, but no reports it was that size.

Nasty storm heading our way currently:

Hopefully the Hervey Bay Dome does its job (local name for the weird phenomenon that storms from virtually any direction blow themselves out - or lose all intensity - just before reaching the Bay. It's quite common and quite uncanny.)

Don't like the black shadows in those radar images.

Just the usual spring storms ...

Fuck me! That was a thunder clap.

Interesting in the central west of NSW where they'd just been pounded again.

Central West of NSW is getting absolutely hammered. This is about 200km due west of Sydney, on the Lachlan River.

Love how a sydharb is an actual unit of measure

3.5 Sydney harbours per week is quite a flow

Maude is on the Hay Plain and it's very fucking flat out there. Water has nowhere to go

You lie. There's nothing on the Hay Plain.

There's a metric fuckload of water right now.

At Kennedy Bay, towards the top of the Coromandel Peninsula. It's wet.

good times at moment in the North Island...

Scorching down in Central Otago at the moment. Low 30s and dry heat but the sun has a real bite to it.

@taniwharugby That must be some sort of record. I don't think we've had a 1-20 yr event for at least 2 weeks.

Old terminology. "Annual Exceedence Probability".

Old "1 in 20" is now 5% AEP. So people don't say stuff like that.

(I recall back jn the early 80s Southland copping a second "1 in 100 year flood" 2 weeks after the first ...).

was shocked to see over the last week how warm the european winter has been in some places, ski fields closing in January is huge!

[antipodean]

@Kiwiwomble And yet across the pond it was so bad that friends on a skiing trip in NW USA couldn't go outside. Resorts closed to prevent people dying.
