arpie Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Hi all With the WA/NT cyclone coming inland, it looks like it will be a very WET & WILD XMAS , possibly thru to new year! Anyone thinking of camping between Xmas & New Year - make sure you take plenty of wet weather gear & tie your tent down really well as there will be BIG WINDS too!!! Or even rethink your plans! Check out what the Nasa weather map has in store for us - a good one to bookmark for possibility of rain! The red & mauve bits indicate rainfall between 60-80ml!! That is a LOT of RAIN - FLOODING WILL OCCUR somewhere! http://www.wxmaps.org/pix/aus.vv.html For those who like reading the 'squiggly bits', Spaghetti maps also available here by clicking the appropriate box here http://www.wxmaps.org/pix/aus.fcst.html Cheerio & not much of a ho ho Roberta Plan for the worst, but hope for the best!

arpie Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 Hi Harold It was wet & windy down the south coast yesterday & even raining down the Snowies!! It was fine & sunny here at Forster, but we did have almost gale force winds in the lake & it looked ugly offshore. The system is lessening with each day, but northern NSW & pretty well all of the Qld coast will still cop it till after the new year - the good news for most of us is that it should be fairly dry for the last 2 days of 2009!!

Day's Fishin Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Hi Roberta, that link sure looks bad on the weather front, we need the rain but not all at once & not over the christmas break as it's the only time a lot folk get to be full time with their families. All the best for the new year & look forward to reading more of your fishing adventures on your yak. Regards Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 I agree, Jeff - shame it is lurking around just now ...... looks like there may be a sting in the tail as well - it is regrouping inland around New Years Eve!! If it is steady rain, all is good - if it buckets down, it will do more damage than good to most places that haven't had rain for years! The weather is closing in here this afternoon - I had a pleasant 4-5hrs fishing from the yak with not a lot to show for it (didn't bother with pics as all hooked fish were too small & the only decent breambo I hooked busted me off!! ) Good fun tho. Drizzle all the way home & I can hardly see the headland now! Could be rain tomorrow! Cheerio Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewgaffer Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I reckon if it stays on the cool side and bleak and threatening and keeps up this occasional drizzle of rain in Sydney like it has since yesterday, late afternoon and night sessions will be definately as close to spot on as it can get especially in regards to fishing in the Hawkesbury....
