COLD, WET and WINDY

The water level remained a tad high today, and while the flood indicator was flashing this morning, it was off this afternoon.

Would it kill them to open up Scrivener Dam when it rains? Just a little, to stop confusing the motorists crossing the river at Oaks Estate?

The flood incidator lights on Oaks Estate Road were flashing all day. Thing is, while the water level in the Molonglo River was kinda high, the low bridge wasn’t actually flooded over, and nobody that I saw in either direction pulled a U Turn as the signs instructed. I sure didn’t.

Its cold. I went out at lunchtime and haven’t been as cold as today since I was in Beijing back in February – but if it was that cold the lake would have frozen over.

Johnboy if you’re going to do the weather report too now, then can you please tell us it’s going to rain BEFORE we go out into the rain at night and get drenched and end up in our boyfriend’s dressing gown at 11pm while our clothes dry over an ironing board because he couldn’t find his drying rack?

This story would have been really handy yesterday afternoon!

for the inner northsiders – did the new ‘wetlands’ at O’connor (near the tennis courts) overflow and flood the road again? It was pretty funny the first time, i thought.

38ml yesterday (i knew it rained a lot overnight.)

Cold, Wet, Windy and Rackety.

The sudden downpour around 2am was pretty startling… though not worth staying up another 5 seconds for (nodded off before reaching for a laptop to check the BOM radar).
