...is known to be extreme.
The long stretch of dry warm weather ended last night with a winter storm which lasted right up to within about an hour of the official vernal equinox. South winds at about 35mph with gusts to 60 and just short of an inch of rain in about 10 hours. The drought may be postponed, but I doubt this will translate into enough stored water to get us through the summer....
As much as I'd like to spend the day hanging out at a headland somewhere scanning for gadflies, duty calls and I must go visit the parents with the wife and kids (and maybe tick the Falcated Duck at Coburg).
