Was toasty up Mt Skene... reasonable amount of snow, apparently 1mtr deep from Licola side, but I think he needs a new tape... Was T-shirt and shorts weather at the summit.

Little bit around Matlock fire tower

what was strange is that the cops were diverting traffic, 2 GU's blocking the road, so the only way to go was RIGHT... but the traffic wasn't moving.. the cars came to the T intersection and all stopped for a minute or so... ??? thus the 40 mins to get there.. shoulda gone Warby instead of Marysville...

The river at Toc is very high. There'll be flooding somewhere. Doubt Boucher's beach will be visible.

Blowing hard at home tonight, has been going all day. We had some 90 km/h gusts at Dandenong today while lifting 22m long roof sheets, made for some interesting times

.....22m long roof sheets.......

Any left-overs for your new shed GG? Might be just long enough.

It's a bit breezy over here too, but not too bad....
