Observations June 8th - 11th System

Moisture streaming in from the NW

 

even though it's not our most favourable looking set up, that is one beautiful looking satellite image. really shows the warm air being sucked down into the front of the low. man i love weather

 

****ing cold and raining in mildura today.
normally 16 and rain here means its snow when it gets down to the mountains.
Hasn't budged over 10 and been raining steadily

 

Light showers to ne of Melbourne.
Goody, another wet work day.

 

I suspect the Macedon "force field" is shielding Melbourne from most of it for now.

 

This has to indicate some good potential at least? To feel cold in a NW feed would suggest some optimism?

 

Will I get a wet ass this arvo CC?

 

You and I.
50% chance I reckon.

 

Uppers are far too warm.

 

Cheers sir.

Ill probably take the backstreets route then.

 

Still only sitting at 12 degrees- coldest day in a while for sure

 

*waves fist angrily at warm uppers*

 

That new satellite is terrific.


Going to be a prick of a ride home tonight

 

System on the way did this to Chile

 

Definitely feels wintery outside in Melbourne.
Commute home won't be too bad if it swings a bit more to the west.

 

I ride directly into the NW.
Going to be a prick. Oh well, just think man legs.

 

Latest Mel AP sounding

 

That is straightlined and ****ing gross.

 

It's funny. Go outside and you swear it's snow weather. That chart though is the reality of the situation.

 

I just came back from a walk at lunch in Canberra the weather says 11c. but it feels like its about 8c or less, the temp definitely felt like it dropped a couple of degrees

 

The soundings never lie. The more I look at that chart the worse I feel. It's borderline feral. 0C at 700hpa, bro pls. And the positive buoyancy transition is so far from coming into play it's ridiculous, that's a very stable atmosphere. Pretty much everything we dont want.

 

500hpa temp of -11C. Jesus christ.

 

Yeah didn't social media (Snow) go ape over this event. 9ft of show closed one of the main cross border highways.

 

Gambier and even Adelaide soundings aren't much better.

 

the snow cams at Charlottes Pass are telling the sad story.......major loss of fallen snow.....

only rained a little bit so far in Sunbury...cold but not too chilling outside...

 

The picture of the access highway was insane.

 

I was just about to go look at them, good thing I checked this thread first though, wont bother.

 

Bloody cold in Melbourne eh? Cold, wet and northerley usually means snow

 

Not today.

 

I had a look at Esperence, that sounding would have been mint for us.

 

Me too Chowds, the G to Essendon. I feel burning in my quads....good season prep tho. Hold me up after funnel web laps at Boville....

 

Unlike!!

As Astro pointed out is seems like the colder air getting sucked in but still a few hours away from them thar hills

 

Cold air is around Esperance. It's a long way from getting here.

 

Current radar showing bugger all.

 

ah ok, im not very good at those funky charts and models, but the leading edge of that low looks alright to me off the sat

 

In Hallam 15.4c, Northerly 18kmh, A.P 1005, no rain all day and my washing is all dry.

 

Looks like a thin line of showers just moving in over western Melbourne suburbs now.

 

Only a trace of moisture in the gauge at Perisher, please stay that way until this time tomorrow.

 

So much weather!! Beats blocking highs and boredom IMO The East Indian Ocean bubble bath gunna make this winter real interesting, just need the timings to line up here and there for some serious dumps. Stating the obvious I guess, but loving the climatic changes after El Nino angst for all....

 

Some models have another E.C.L soon. That would be interesting.

 

Not for this thread, but I'm not seeing an ECL.

 

Sorry, wrong one.

 

Gusts to 85 kph reported at Mt Hotham (3:30pm)

 

Simply confirms that snow makes people happy! Love it! The cover will come...
