ausfire Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Summer is damage time for us. Tragedy here in Queensland. Only three weeks ago people were praying for rain after years of drought. Rain came.. and came.. and came. Devastation on a scale never seen here before. 300 000 head of cattle lost. A sea of water hundreds of kilometres wide has just wiped out livelihoods of graziers in North West Qld. I know a lot of those station people from my previous work as a teacher with School of the Air. Lovely, hard-working rural families. My heart goes out to them. https://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/news/north-west-floods-devastate-landholders/news-story/c3a38e8d634346b94fab3861105b9655 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Rough to be a Rancher out there! We spend a lot of time praying for rain here; but it always includes a plea for moderation: "such moderate rain and showers" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Ewert Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Can't complain about the weather here in the SF bay area. We got a little dusting of snow on the hills last week, but it rarely freezes down at sea level. Nevertheless, California keeps burning up during the late summer months (many of the fires being quite suspicious in origin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 March 14 Spring in New Mexico USA, yesterday we had strong winds with gusts to 60 to 80 mph, they closed the road through the mountain pass, my sinuses are trashed and I still have sand in one ear from walking across the border after work yesterday. Normal spring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 03.14 HAPPY PI DAY! Alexandr: The "Frost -02" remark reminded me the Doctors would like my to lose 2x that much weight but putting -20 would make them happy. Windy and warm here today, heading for the low 40s, 10% chance of rain. Below freezing at night so folks WILL forget the wet roads are now icy. That's okay I'm sure we're ALL safer with them in the ditch. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 In the 90's degF here lately but still cooling down enough at night that I use an open sleeping bag as my comforter with just a box fan in the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hasn't snowed here is 2-3 weeks. Hit 62 f. last week and in low 50s now. Trees are leafing out, can no longer see Mt. Denali from the living room. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Autumn weather here now. Cooling a little after a hot and humid wet season. This year we had a reasonable wet, with severe flooding in Townsville. Skies are crystal clear tonight for the Eta Aquarid meteor shower. Worth getting up at 3am for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I love the meteor showers, unfortunately they're only visible half the year here and this one only shows us the occasional one. The real bummer is any good sky show seems to trigger clouds. I haven't seen a good meteor shower in a few years now. Frosty The Lucky.
