^^ That second picture's beautiful! I love it when the wind blows snow onto vertical surfaces like on that road sign - makes it look colder than it probably is. I knew Argentina was a big country but I never really had a sense that two places both in Argentina can be 5171km apart, something like the distance between London and New York - are Ushuaia and La Quiaca the two furthest places apart in the country?

I love seeing snow blown onto signs.

Almost. You can see it in this map.

Minimum of just 1.3C here this morning. Equals the record low set in May 1911.

You mean 1914. To achieve this in 98 years is a remarkable feat indeed!

Looking at similar conditions tomorrow, rapidly cooling with the clear skies and light winds, at 7:34pm it's 8.2C at Perth Airport.

BOM issued there seasonal forecast for winter yesterday, they expect only a 30% chance of exceeding median rainfall this winter unfortunately.
Warmer winter likely for most of WA
Let's hope the opposite occurs then!

There was light rain all day today, amounting to 16.2mm. Unfortunately this May will end up with below average rainfall with the monthly total currently on 21.6mm. The cloud is clearing tonight, and as a result the next few nights should be cold with frost likely on Sunday morning.

Yesterday (Thursday) provided perfectly ideal weather conditions - cloud sweeping in rapidly after a cold and clear night - with rain after midday which continued well into the early hours of this (Friday) morning. The high was just 14C and over 14mm of rain fell ensuring that the driest May, at the city site, has been averted . Also the vegetation is looking more greener in a month too!

Too bad that after a lovely cloudy morning, the evil sun decided to show its face after 1pm but it remained very cold due to a strong westerly blowing. Tomorrow is not looking very nice with strong and bitterly cold sou'westerlies blowing - a very good day to stay indoors - and conditions will change from Sunday as the flow turns more cloudy and showery S-SE

Once agian, the morons on the Australian Weather Forums have proven to be retards:

We were supposedly going to get very heavy rain and stronger-than-storm force winds today. Well, in Melbourne, all we got was BORING light rain the whole day with a few moderate gusts. TYPICAL 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00:1 HYPE to FAIL ratio

Thanks to the esteemed, knowledgeable "experts" on the Australian Weather Forums. Bunch of IDIOTS. READ THE WHOLE THREAD. IT IS BLOODY WORTH IT, especially PAGES 2 and 3!!! No wonder people don't take warnings seriously. Imagine if this clown mob was in charge of tornado warnings in the US


The Australian Weather Forum • View topic - Burst of winter 23rd - 27th May


Some quotes from the distinguished "forecasters" from this pool of retardation that are so adept at predicting biblical destruction:

"this weather system... biggest, most damaging in years"

"This upcoming event has the hallmarks of being one of the biggest winter time events for over a decade for this state"


"Fear not Geoff and Rhino. This, as i suggested on Friday, has all the hallmarks of being in the top 3 systems in the last 30 years.

Thats how big this will be"

Freaking MONGO derrrrrrrrrrrr brains
God sake, the only thing that was damaged is the odd blade of grass in my backyard And this "event" was as big as the grain of dirt that the odd 20km/h gust blew over.
