   We have some we’re willing to share, with more on the way over the next couple of days.

   Looks beautiful - and after the weeks of miserable rain we’ve had here, I’d gladly swap you!

   We’ve had rain for days too Richard, get’s quite dreary doesn’t it!
   The snow is welcome after the off weather we’ve had.

   Ian, a blizzard warning your way, and -12C to-35C over the next week, not factoring in the wind chill. Brrrr.

   I suggest you all set a time, take an umbrella and stand outside. Then blow hard and send that rain down here! Although we have had a bit of rain in the last couple of weeks, it’s nowhere near enough.

   Nearly 100% of New South Wales is drought declared. Shows what a misnomer it is! Declaration is necesary to allow farmers and producers to access help.

   Sydney’s water supplies are well down in the 30s% of capacity. Our main dam is in low 30s. It’s estimated that the dam catchment area needs at least 50 mm of rain over every single bit of the catchment, every day for several weeks, to make any appreciable difference to the levels.

   So, all together…1,2,3…BLOW!
