2021 - How's the Weather Where You Are

The weather is not good down here. Most of the east coast is being deluged with rain and rivers are overflowing their banks. The major dam in Sydney, Warragamba, is spilling and the lesser dams are about to go over too.

Saw footage last night of a house floating down a river and the SES volunteers are working flat out rescuing people, clearing fallen trees and covering roofs with tarps.

Hubby and I are OK in our little house because we are a fair way from the Georges River which is the closest one to us.
 

Here in NYC, 372.7 miles from @moviequeen1 , it is the same gorgeous day! Winter's in the rearview mirror, good riddance!
 

To everyone in Sydney and the Northern coast, please stay safe and do not drive through floodwaters.
The Wollondilly has burst its banks, I am fine though, I am about 11 or 12 houses away from it upsteam.

Another wet cool one.
Today 16°C
Tonight 14°C
Now 15.1°C

Cloudy. Very high chance of showers. Winds E 25 to 40 km/h. Daytime maximum temperatures between 15 and 18.

Spiders on a bridge above flooded river. Enlarge the photo and you will see many different species. All have climbed up as the water level rose in the river below.

Right now; low 30s F with some snow & a slight breeze. should get into the 40s F today with a chance of snow.

Spring is still a ways off... I'm afraid.

Enjoy!
 
Right now, it's 11C on it's way to 16C. We're supposedly going to see a bit of mixed precipitation in a few days, but I think it's safe to put away the snow boots.

Goodbye Winter!
