Recommended Posts

I can remember a discussion about rain some time ago that descended into  imperial v SI units.

In the last 2 days we have had 1000 mm of rain in Brisbane ie 1 meter or  39,4" of rain,

WE had some roof leaks and drain blockages but so far survived  relatively unscathed.

I can't even imagine how much that would be if that was snow....

I can imagine how much snow that would be.

Unfortunately, if it happened, I wouldn't be able to tell anyone since you would only hear a faint muffled noise, if anything....

 

Weather is amazing- I used to go to Bear Valley, in the pre-covid days. 7500 ft up in the Sierra Nevada.

It was, until the weather patterns moved, the snowiest place in the world- 75 feet in the winter.

We took a cast metal outdoor bench one year, to put by the fire pit.

This was our last visit before winter, so we tidied everything away, leaving the bare metal bench with its legs sitting on four 3" thick concrete blocks.

I was there the next year to do the first visit of the season to the acreage.

The bench was there- all four concrete blocks split in half, with the legs of the bench smashed into the ground- the seat was on the ground.

Took some fun getting it out.  The snow up there is known as 'Sierra Concrete' due to it's weight.....anything left out is crushed.

1" of rain is generally considered to be the equivalent of 1 foot of level undrifted snow.

Fortunately Brisbane doesn’t get any snow. Winter in Brisbane is similar to summer in the UK with a July average of 22 deg C.

Unfortunately more dead in the NSW Northern Rivers region as the rain depression  moved further south and now heading towards Newcastle and the Hunter region and then probably Sydney. where  Warragamba  dam is already spilling.
