Beautiful rain

 We have had 152 mm so far this month, mostly in gentle showers.

The subsoil is recharged again, the pasture is green again, everything is
leaping ahead.  I have three kinds of squash escaping from their mounds and
filling the fridge.

The river is running, the dam is full, the house tanks runneth over.

Most of the strawberries had individual grey fur coats  :-(

The BT and pyrethrum is all gone.  My fingers were glued together with
squashed grubs ...
but I washed before typing.

 g'day david,

40mm of good soaking stuff so far this month for us in northern brissy
bayside (bayside always better for rain opportunities) the islands
ahve been getting heaps from our observations early in the month nth
straddie had around 50mm for the one day.

reckon we need another 74 flood to beak this drought.

got 66mm last month.

last night maps showed a nice big system setting up over the solomons
might be the first blow for the season?

 Not sure how much we got through last week, but I do know that on Friday
(9th) we had 168mm in 24 hours on the beautiful MidNorthCoast of NSW.
Sunny since Sunday so everything has dried out again now.

Len, extended periods of drought almost always end with a flood, don't
they?  There was some localised flooding around here last Friday at high
tide, but once the tide turned flood waters could recede.

 g'day bronwyn,

yes flood follows drought, but amazing how many want the drought to
break but don't want the flood?? not prepared i would suggest and also
the next aussie day type flood will realy show the bad side of our
city planners development process.

yes i've been watching the satt' pics and other maps the southern end
of the gold coast and well into nth'n nsw always get lots more rain
opportunities than what some of us others get even around the sunshine
coast, reckon it is that there is more unspoilt habitat in those
areas.

 i mentioned it in an earlier post that system up north has tightened
and is into the torress straight just nth/east of the cape it is down
to 993hp has some rotation going, although we don't want harm to
anyone could this be the system that gives us much needed rain down
this way?
