Well, it's
Officially Autumn here in Oz now, and the local Hills weather has obliged by dropping outta the mid/high 30's (°C) into the high 20's/low 30's; at least, that's what's forecast here for the next week!
It was pretty warm here in the Adelaide Hills last week, while much of the coastal verge & low lying areas around the rest of the Country were either bracing for flooding rains or they were already inundated & paddling towards the nearest high ground! :helpsmilie: Some places copped over 1100mm of rain in 24 hours; altho there was one spot near Mt Glorious up in the FNQ Tablelands that was feeling really soggy after scoring
over 1770mm - that's pushing 70 Inches! :yikes:
Here in the Hills we were told to expect some flooding thunderstorms over the weekend just past, but we missed that front entirely; altho much of the Adelaide Plains (about 40 km or more away
) did have the thunderstorms dump their guts and cause the floods that we were on the look-out for!?!..... nothing over a metre deep tho! :banghead:
That Dorothea McKellar lady obviously wasn't kidding when she wrote about 'The Sunburnt Country', with it's Droughts & Flooding Rains! :lecturef_smilie: We had the Bushfires earlier; the decade long Droughts have only just broken in other areas; and it's all been just in time for the floods to hit! :yikes: It's moments like these that we're really thankful we're living UP HIGH in the Hills.... altho I gotta admit that the creeks not too far away from us
did burst their banks in one of the earlier rain periods.... but it'd still take
a whole LOT of water to flood us out.... not quite so much to surround us & cut us off for a while tho! :gaah:
But I do hafta give thanks
ray:
ray: that at least it's only the weather we've got to contend with. There are places where they've got a lot worse things to worry about atm! So we're keeping them in mind & sharing those
ray:ers! .
...I can't believe that we are now into the month of March 2022. But as they say, time keeps marching on and stops for nothing. 
hyea: Indiana weather has turned out to be warmer temperatures, currently 60°F with some clouds. 
. Sunday night into noon today is bringing a 3-5" snowfall. Sheeesh ..............
