I bought a motorcycle and take full responsibility for the shit weather that no doubt will plague Sydney every weekend until next winter.

Last month, Observatory Hill measured the rainfall as nearly three times the June average. So yes, it has been a fucking wet winter so far.

Iād rather this than stinking fucking hot and fires.
I love this weather.
Why canāt we have neitherā¦
I quite like a bit of rain myself - but I worry that with full dams and a went summer predicted a lot of people are going to get fucked on.
Up until June Perth was the driest it had ever been. 21mm of rain from October to May I think it was.
Another year or two of that sort of stuff and Perth will have to import water from somewhere.
Try playing club soccerā¦ We had a 5 week break, one game and now weāre on break again. I was hoping to use it to get fit

Yeah Iām in the same boat, one game in the last month, one training session in five weeks. This weekendās games washed out and already just cancelled rather than being rescheduled. Unbelievable stuff.
yeah we got the same email. Theyāre preference is proper competitions with prizes etc. over anything else. Still really frustrating. Weāve given up on even training
My solar production for June was the lowest since installation, seven years ago.
Weāre about average up here and barely had any rain at all during June (less than 5mm) and we had a week of 25 degree temps last week.
The problem is that the ground never really dried out after heavy late summer rain. Weāve had 30mm this week and the ground is soaked again.
We havenāt had a frost yet either. Thereās been a light one in a couple of locations but we even missed that as a way to kill off the top layer of grass and dry the ground out.
The big issue is that even the small amounts of rainfall weāve had over the last week has seen the creeks and rivers react.
If we have a wet start to summer then I fully expect widespread flooding up here come February.
So last year at my place in the inner South was 1346ml for 12 months (to March)
This year since March weāre up to 1100ml+ already so yeahā¦
Taken my father up to Katoomba this morning to see the 3 Sisters.
Just a balmy 2 degrees. Wind chill of minus 7.
Yeah, Hilly and I are on the other side of the mountains in Bathurst and its been a rough few days here weather wise. I dont want to imagine how shit it was in places like Katoomba and Lithgow.
Fuck. That. Shit.
I know they call it the snowy mountains for a reason but apparently with windchill down at Thredbo this morning, it was -20. Why would people choose to go skiing, thatās all Iām asking
Well you get to drink afterwards
Ok well that is a reason I can get behind to be fair

Yeah, but there are other places where it isnt a windchill of -20 that you can drink at tooā¦

true, but thereās really nothing nicer than being freezing cold, and the warmth you get from a nice cold shot of vodka, or 10ā¦
I remember getting caught in a windstorm up Mount Kosciusko on our Year 11 camp. The guides who couldt have been much older than us had no idea what to doā¦ they said it was -16 but with all the excitement we didnt really notice it.
