A severe weather change blew through yesterday afternoon at about 4:30 pm. The photo is taken from a Newspaper and isn't from around here but gives you an idea of what it was like. The sky became quite black as the afternoon progressed until the rain started with a sprinkle about 5 pm.Earlier in the afternoon it was up to 39 degrees in our sheltered back yard. This wasn't an accurate temperature as the sun was really beating down on the thermometre even though I have a wooden cover over it. Whatever the temp was, it was HOT! The pool was up to over 31 degrees. The air conditioner was on again before lunch so we were very comfy inside.
As the night progressed so too did the wind and rain. Right now we have a very strong south easterly blowing with grey skies and the temperature struggling to get through the mid 20's! This photo was taken earlier this morning after I had emptied 44mls from the rain gauge.You can click on this photo for a larger view then hit "Back" to return to this page.
A call this morning to my sister has them at Dubbo with about 500k's do before finding a spot later on this afternoon for them to camp around Albury. They will then do some shopping tomorrow before the final 3 hour drive to their home in Omeo.
I put another 'brew' on this morning so I again will have bottle washing and a bottling to do later in the week. Last night we watched an enjoyed Russell Crowe's new movie 'The Last Three Days'.

That black cloud picture looks like some of our West Texas storms. That kind usually bring terrible hail with them too. So we have to pay a price for most rain that we get. Instead we are about 80F every day (too hot) and grass fires somewhere every day too.
