Weather where you are?

No drought down here [SW corner], my dam has been overflowing for the last month.
The sun came out yesterday for the first time in months and last night the rain came back and today we've had more showers, wind and hail.
Lots of trees/branches down.
Walpole would have to have the happiest cows in the country, the pasture is green and lush.
Getting abit over it to be honest.
 
Its a bit different where I am heading back too. Last time there were hundreds of cattle along the stock routes as that's the only feed about, and by the time I head back next week that will be all gone. Usually, I don't have much sympathy as years ago they prepared by storing Hay, there are buggar all Hays sheds around and these days not happening much. But this one is so bad even those that had Hay are now out well and truly, it's very bad out there.
 
I drove Melbourne to Albury yesterday,  Couldn't believe how green it was...never seen it like that before.  Land of contrasts!
 
Had 80mm over the Adelaide Hills in the last week and more to come. Dry as in the Murray Lands. Feel sorry for anybody affect by the draught, no matter what State they are in. :(
 
Chris if you can ask him if they used to Bale more years ago compared to now, you just don't see sheds with Hay stored anymore on places and when it's in demand the price goes through the roof. This what I get told by my old time relos and I am talking blokes in their 80s.
 
When I grew up all I learned about Australia was kangaroos, hot and dry. It turns out that they were wrong ....... it must have been a warm, moist pleasant place to live before all this drought came along ....... now I'm starting to wonder if even kangaroos are real.
 
It pissed down all night in the small town I am at in Northwestern NSW, WeeWaa, but that's bearly settled the dust. They need plenty more over a longer time frame.

Don't go sleepwalking into the Pilliga Vince, the yeti will get you.
Spooky place to drive through at night. When I was driving interstaters, I would never stop through there for a piss, I'd hold on until Coona. 
 
It seems the trendy don't like it being called a Scrub, all my life it was till recently called The Pilliga Scrub. I had relos who camped all week felling railway sleepers out there since they got back from the WW2 prison camp in Germany, got caught in North Africa. The locals loved to talk up the big bad boogyman out there. Stupid hillbilly superstition. Its a brilliant bit of remote bush. You should see the Grey Nomads towing caravans heading out there by the dozens.
 
Worked a wheat harvest for the premium wheat growers assoc, based at a silo outa Wee Waa in about 1974. Where's this Pilliga scrub from there? And it's called summit else - not a yeti a ... a ....a ... fuggin can't remember! yes i can - a yowie!
 
Not the greatest two wheel weather around here, especially in the Southwest corner of Wisconsin, which is where I am a bunch of other vintage moto riders are headed this Wednesday. There are a bunch of flooded towns and roads, washed out bridges and evacuations due to the flooding and more rain is on the way. It may be the first year I don't go on the trip. Hopefully it will dry up a little over the weekend.
 
Had a great ride in July from La Crosse to Duluth mostly on the alphabet roads. Weather was a bit hot bit I guess we missed the rain.
 
Absolutely beautiful here on the North Shore of Lake Huron in mid Sept, 28C day and 15c at night repetitively calm with a few plow wind lightning thunderstorms. Wish the Micro Wave June, July and August didn't exist.

Can't say what Florence will do in the coming days.

Leaves are getting colour but not dropping.

I'm kinda interested in the Amanita Muscaria at this time of the year ;o)

Haven't Duck hunted since I was a teen.

So Paul you got snow - Put on your Skii's.

Europeans don't have clue just how Big Canada is.

Nothing like the Great Lakes Cambrian North Shore in Autumn - Always a beautiful challenge.

Perfect riding weather were you run away from Dark Clouds: Day or Night as they pour like 2" on Asphalt in half hour.
