    That upper level low is moving across here now and moving out to sea quite quickly. Not much rain in it here. Just enough to pull me up early for the day. But I got the most urgent places done this morning.

    Pity Radar wasn't showing more of it Bluey, plenty of water flowing down the Murray here in Albury/Wodonga and has been for some time. I see it every day when l cross the border.
    Having a day off here today as I worked the weekend. but I've got to reconcile accounts for the Bas statement today prior to my MYOB lady coming to check my books later this week.
    Time to start cooking bacon and eggs being 8.22am here in Mexico Land.
    Cheers Garry

    What's a good website for the weather forecast? There are so many with different views...... Most are incorrect too.
    e.g. Sydney. rain.. ( And the sun is shining)????
    Also, If we are stuck with all this rain on & off all day, ( Mowing in the wet) what's pressure washing like as a job? Does anyone know if it makes the same as mowing for a days work?

    Straight from the horses mouth. Just click on the area closest to you and you can see forecasts, click on recent months to see previous rain, temps etc. There is also the radar which is handy to see what is heading your way at that very moment.

    I use BOM at home mainly and use the Weatherzone app on my phone when out and about. It's hasn't been working properly over the last few days though.

    Yep I dpo that a fair bit too. It's amazing what you can see with your eyes!

    I find the online radars good though for rain intensity and how fast or how long a storm is likely to move through.

    Ha Ha, plenty of dry rocks in Geelong. I just checked the rainfall for Dec and Jan, only 66mm for the two months and only 6mm so far this month. Pretty much no growth at the moment. I'm starting to get a bit worried as this is still my first year and I was hoping to gain a few new clients over summer to help me through winter.

    Just heard from my inlaws that live between St Marys and Penrith (Sydneys west)and they had a massive amount of rain tonight. My mother in law can't get into their estate from her work and my father in law can't get out. All the roads are under water and there are cars floating around bashing into each other. I had a look on the BOM site and they had 81mm in 3 hours tonight. I am only 20 km's or so away and we haven't had anything!

    I hope you guys out that way are ok.
