More rain could fall in Melbourne on Sunday than is usually recorded for the month of April with damaging winds and possible flash flooding forecast also.

By 7am on Sunday, the State Emergency Service had responded to more than 140 requests for help across Victoria. But the emergency service said Saturday's storm was just a teaser to Sunday's worsening weather.

she'd likely be glad to get rid of me...lol...have plans to start to renovate our bedroom with my time off work, as much as I'd prefer to go camping instead. The Mrs has waited 15 years for it to get done, so should make a start on it I guess...lol

Actually this would probably be the go for the trip to his local. He might just need to pedal fast when the 5:15 from Southern Cross rushes through

as if you care if I go or not, it's not like you'll be there anyway...you'll tell everyone you are going, then pull out at the last minute as usual  ;D ;D ;D
I renovate other peoples houses all week and don't like doing it on weekends, especially when I don't get paid for it....hence my office reno taking near 6 months to complete. Gunna take the opportunity of an upcoming week off,  to finally remove some windows and install a door in it's place.

Mates misses flew down to Melbourne on Saturday, today she started a 3 day horse ride in the High Country visiting huts and sleeping in a swag. Checked the forecast on Saturday and it had rain on Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday weather is better but a 6 degree high and possible snow, sounds like fun...lol

I was stuck on the Eastern Freeway this morning when all hell broke loose. Thunder, lightning, hail, super heavy rain. I was stationary with the wipers going flat out and could barely see the car in front of me. Freeway had at least a couple of inches of rain running down it. Get into town and it was sunny, must have been the storm cell right above the freeway.

Same on the ring rd just as i got on it, pisses down heavy and could barely see with wipers going full- could have done with another gear on the wipers.
