Weather where you are?

[chrisk]

I’m starting to feel the cold: 17.7 now and 24c maximum. Me old wounds start to play up below 20ish.

 

[Paul LeClair]

forest fire season is off to a raging start here in western Canada. Out of control wildfires in both British Columbia and Alberta. Heavy smoke here in Calgary today....... weather alerts for smoke hazard

 

[Tippie]

Same here Paul. It amazes me that the instant the snow melts the heath starts to burn, but there aren't forests like you have there.

 

[Alzero]

Didn’t I read that some fires move under the leaves and smolder all winter? Once the snow melts they burn up to the surface and reignite the forest.

 

[henrywillms]

Yes....the fires can burn all winter especially this year with minimal snow pack across all of North America. And we are off to pretty dry spring in much of Canada. Had a real bad smoke day yesterday. The fire the smoke came from is 600km(360 miles) away but it looked and smelt like it was next door.

 

[Terry Dymond]

No rain in the Adelaide Hills since early Feb.

 

[Perry]

Finally began to dry up around here but then it pelted down again all last night so its back to flooded roads and soggy fields. Not that i would want to swap....

 

[Andy J]

Yes, back to mist and fog, and wet this morning. Must be nearly TT time.

 

[chrisk]

No rain in the Adelaide Hills since early Feb.

I’m sorry to hear how dry it is in the Adelaide Hills. But seeing you back on LF put a smile on my dial!

 

[chrisk]

5klms south of Margaret River, 18c now with a max of 24c forecast. A tad smoky around the joint.

Off to my favourite wine making factory today

Back to reality Tuesday.

Get back to work you lazy bastard
Tom

 

[Terry Dymond]

Still no effing rain.

 

[GregT]

Cold and wet here. Right on the coast so not as cold as the old place got. Work to do in freezing garage.
It can wait.

 

[chrisk]

Still no effing rain.

Don’t be shy using the F word Terry. We all know what you meant… Still no Falling rain.

 

[Ian D]

Dig a well.

We had 5mm on Monday.

 

[motoddrob]

Been 6 months since rain in the S/W of WA. Did get 40 ml a couple of weeks ago over a weeks period. Lots of 3-5metre jarrahs and sheoaks are dead all along the hwy. Forrest really stressed. Cow cockies having problems feeding live stock, with so little rain last spring 40% down on hay crops and the pastures are dust. Buying hay is now at a premium and the arse has fallen out of the beef market, 30% of what they were getting for the last few years. Mates are now putting their breeders on the truck to markets as feeding them is more expensive than they're worth.
Good weather for motorcycling though.

 

[Eurocycleguy]

A bit breezy here, Tornado Watch in effect. :-}

 

[Haggis]

I am guilty of my usual dumb-fuckery....
• [UK] Weather has been glorious, sunny, warm and calm - I was in the garage fettling a Laverda.
• Weather now turns to heavy rain, for the whole week, and only now do I have a working bike.
Note to self: Plan ahead, you arse!

 

[Terry Dymond]

Thought you lived in a rain shadow Ian.

 

[Ian D]

Almost Terry, right on the very last ridge before it drops off.
