Severe Storm Warnings
I can hear the near-subsonic rumble of thunder in the distance. BOM has issued a severe storm warning for the north of the state so I'll see the edge of that here.

Snow no show
No snow. It rained last night instead; an icy, prickly fall that had been frozen until just a few hundred metres above. This morning is a lot warmer too. 2C right now, as opposed to -3C this time yesterday. It might get right up to 8C later.
Cool weather.
It's interesting how a little bit of cool weather causes a rather tired car battery to totally fail. Thank heavens for cheap booster packs.
The weather men are predicting snow falls tomorrow.

Goodbye Larry, Helo Glenda
Cyclone Glenda is hovering between categorys 4 and 5. It'll hit Exmouth and Karratha tonight. It's a bit late in the season to have two big storms like this, but it's not rare.

Cyclone Larry
Looks like Larry has had it. The cyclone* has already been downgraded to category 2 and tomorrow will be a tropical depression.
*Cyclone = southern hemisphere hurricane, in case you're wondering.
