I'm slowly working my way back home to Melbourne, been on the sunshine coast for a week with the weather being ok (22° to 24°) except for the few odd showers, today I drove just over 200k's, and I arrive in Toowoomba, fkme, stepped out of the ranger with T shirt & shorts on and it was like stepping into a freezer.
I guess my warm/hot holidays has come to an end, back to wearing jeans & jumper. There was talk of some parts of QLD might getting snow, I do believe it may happen as I am now sitting in my van with heater on as I type this post. Cheers |

The media would have you believe that anyone who goes outside this week is going to die of hypothermia................................umm, it's called winter for a reason. Pardon the pun, but what a bunch of snowflakes.

Flood watch released for a number of areas in vic for the coming couple of days. Certainly hope some of it comes our way, as we could do with the rain.
Not that the dog, or my daily walk, will appreciate that.

Fresh after a -2 frost and temps yet to breach 5 degrees, we had a tough young buck through the other morning wearing shorts and a tank top. Meanwhile, the sensible among us were wearing long pants, thermal shoes and socks, thermal tops, shirt, jumper, jacket and beanie.

Travelled down to Melbourne and back today to take mum to a medical appointment. Pretty much bucketed down the whole way. Checked the weather app to see home had no rain at all. Latrobe Valley to the west had 5mm. Bairnsdale to the east had 3mm. Thought there must have been something wrong with the official rain gauge. Got home and...nothing. Roads were completely dry So much for the 10 to 20mm....

Returned home to Melbourne from my eight-week holiday and right on cue we received a shower for about 10 minutes, now I feel right at home!
