What.... Was that it?

Up here in Butler 1 freaky cloud cane across, a sprinkling of rain but now it's looking ok again.

What do you guys think for later? Are we in for more?

Typical BOM

I should hack their website and replace all instances of BOM with "Chicken Little"

After the coronial inquiry to the deaths in the Sydney to Hobart race a few years back, the BoM has taken a doom and gloom attitude to weather prediction for the general public.

If you are an oil major, you can buy a decent weather report from the BoM, but for the rest of us it is high winds when it is a total glass off at the beach.

Better off with seabreeze!

T-Shirt in the mail please Laurie!!!
