    Blue skies so far here today. I'm off for my afternoon jobs now but there could be more storms later. Max is supposed to be 23 degs here today but I swear it feels like 26 - 28! Might get a cheap thermometer to stick on the trailer.

    Sun is out here now but the ground is so wet I wouldn't be game to run a mower over any good lawns.

    Rained out here. Got half a day in before I called it quits. Forecasting a bit of rain for us which is good. Got a service done on my gear and now it is paperwork time

    G'day Bluey, yeah strange end to October isnt it. Ive got my logo sorted and im about to get my leaflets printed and cards done so on a personal level im pretty happy the rain keeps coming as it means im still coming in at a busy time, and although it messed up your day a little today im sure you'll be happy with the continued workload due to it.

    G'day,
    I like to have an idea of whats coming, and by watching the weather etc i can get a good idea. one of the best things i have found to help me with the impact of the weather is http://www.weatherzone.com.au/statio...=61366&list=ds by looking at the amount of rain over the month and the average temps etc i get a fairly good predictor. the more i know the better i can plan. I know that not everyone is as much of a control freak as i am but i thought it may be of some help.

    I was about to start a thread to see where people get their forecasts from.
    I find Elders weather great for my area.Really like the 28 day outlook at a glance though.
