Weather is bloody wild here around Northen NSW at the moment, its heading south I believe, so batten down the hatches if your in that area or as far south as Coffs

Awesome SBB

Thats Just what I didn't want to here :crying-blue:

Our temporary outdoors kitchen might survive x_x

by **SBB** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 6:36 pm

Mate Ive owned kitchens like that and worse over the years, If you get the winds there that we got here this afternoon you can kiss the kitchen good bye, Not trying to freak you out, but they were some of the strongest Ive seen in 25 years of living in this area, some gusts a bit east of here ( right on the coast) were recorded at 125km an hour.
Edit... probably should say Ive seen worse winds in the area.....but very very localized, It was bloody windy over a much bigger area than usual today.

Kitchen survived ,Tarped it down best could.

Powers out,running on a generator at the momemnt.

When to town with the chainy ,had to cut up several trees across the road all the nieghbours pushed the logs away.Going back later ,good fire wood :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Towns cut off all roads in out flooded

:handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft: Good to see the kitchen survived, been listening to the radio and sounds like your area and plenty of others down that way copped a fair hammering.
Plenty of roof damage and trees down around here too. Ballina Marine Rescue tower on the North wall of the river reported wind gusts of 170 km per hour, they evacuated the tower as it was starting to shake n move around.

Away from home at the moment so not visiting the forum much. However, you can't be complaining too much about the humidity. It is currently -15degrees outside and the air is so bloody dry, I can feel my sinuses dehydrating!

by **Cane Toad** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 5:53 pm

WTF :scared-eek: -15' you can have it Lupus,I've got lumps behind the ears just thinking about it

by **crow** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 6:14 pm

Bucketing down and only 30 now, not ready to swap with ya Lupus. -15 catching up on some sun and surf in northern Quebec or something :scared-eek:

by **punchy21** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:39 pm

Just took the shade sails down just in case, the wind is starting to pick up... Should just be a heap of rain by the time it reaches here though... :pray:

Wet season weather here. The 80+ yr old next door reckons she can't ever remember this weather before, Hot and sticky Only ever got tropical weather once every five yrs back home never expected it here :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: .The oldies here tell me they got 9" of snow Christmas day 1949 :laughing-rolling:

by **Lupus** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 3:46 pm

Currently in Colorado for work. Denver copped a major snow storm on Sunday and the major snow falls closed roads and made driving dangerous.

Funny thing though, even though it was freezing even during the day with a high of -4, I got a bloody bad sunburn!

Just walked home from dinner and it was a bracing -16. :)

Ballarat swap meet used to be 3 days, one stinking hot, one wet and rainy, one as humid as nth Qld. Its always sticky here this time of year. Lucky is only a few days.
Don't believe all of what the old locals tell you, the gene pool was pretty slim when they were conceived out your way. The town has had some new blood since, but not much. :teasing-neener:

What are you worried about mate, I lost 2/3 my driveway today. I expect to loose the rest in the next few days. Soon be winter and you'll be as cold as lupus.

by **crow** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 9:26 pm

hasn't been anything like this since i been here, fucking running around like a muppet today trying to get everything done stress thought I'd have a ciggy (I know) anyway sweating like blazes had 3 goes at rolling one before I gave up. only just finished racking the plum shit off to sealed fermenters got about 15 ltrs left over and nothing to put it in :angry-banghead: cubes all have backset in them (might be able to get some from a bloke on Schubert rd :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: private joke . Anyway I was so wet That I didn't even bother to get out of the rain
