Wild WX in Victoria

Yesterday and last night was some of the wildest weather Ive seen in ages. Floodig everywhere.

Must have knocked some TV stations off the air as i can get only 2 channels. ABC is not transmitting anythin on ABC1,2,3 or 4. Wins off the air.


Anyone else got the same?

Why not type YMML in here and try it yourself! Just select how far back you want to go!

200mm on the victorian alps, thredbo closed due to flooding at the TOP of some lifts, and the thredbo river breaking its banks, great snow holiday, was looking forward to 2 mtrs of fresh snow, only to enjoy 100mm rain and 100Kph winds.

A Retard Vehicle stuck down there

A brave and fearless B744 Captain even decided to desert the place on a big burner.......

Of course we now have an excuse for a post OSH party with one or two of the OSH party to retrieve said Retard Vehicle later this week.........ahhhh hang the expense! Life is one party.....and safety is our first priority........followed y a fun trip!
