Mooroopna... For those of you who don't know, it's near Shepparton (think SPC and Ardmona fruit) .... Big fluffy white clouds... it might rain later....

[Bookworm.]

Aww thanks guys. This has made me smile. I honsestly didn't think that anyone would do this.

Trust the one year that I wanted to test it out, it hasn't rained yet. But I will not despair, we still have till 11.59pm!

I feel like a dickhead

Why do you feel like a dickhead? I always dance for rain...

It drizzled a bit here in East Malvern just after midnight, but then it cleared up and today Melbourne is sunny, warm and dry with just a few cumulus clouds in the sky.

I still count that as rain! Thank God it rained somewhere, eh? I was starting to feel a bit silly.

If you had asked this question yesterday, I would have said "It rained all bloody morning, just like most of the week before it."

But today there has been no rain in the Blue Mountains. It is looking threatening, though, so it might rain later on.

Apparently in the early hours of the morning there was rain down south.
My brother says that there was definitely a fair bit of drizzle.

Western Sydney - no rain as yet today (well I'm pretty sure there hasn't been, but I didn't get up until 11.30...I'm sure Vissie can confirm the lack of rain). But there are still some clouds around.

Well I only just got up, but I asked my mother and she said it hasn't rained, yet.

Brisbane: Sunny

Logan: Sunny

Ipswich: Sunny

Everywhere in between the above locations also sunny as hell.

It spat some rain here, if that counts.

It spat some rain here, if that counts.

Yep, that'll do.

Everywhere in between the above locations also sunny as hell.

That makes me sad (well, actually I love the sun, but for the purposes of this, sad)

EDIT: I am going out now, will have to tell you later why I wanted to know...just to keep you all in suspense.

Well, it didn't rain in Adelaide and I don't think it's going to in the next 3.5 hours.

Bludge pretty much has SEQ covered, but I may as well add that there was no rain on the gold coast 

Is this little experiment just about the weather? Or are you studying the behaviour of people responding to requests on forums or something?

It is very very sunny here. No clouds at all. 

I hope you found one and satisfied your urges 


I didn't get up till after 2pm, but as far as I can tell, the only liquid moving around was between me & the toilet bowl.

It did rain Yesterday, in fact I saw the beginnings of a waterspout developing over the bay, but by the time I got home, grabbed my camera & got down there, it had blown itself out - DAMN!

Bludge pretty much has SEQ covered, but I may as well add that there was no rain on the gold coast 

Twas time restraints and cost of petrol that prevented me from visiting Cleveland and the Gold Coast as well today.

Booky it didn't rain here. 

[grooviechickie]

It didn't rain here, Booky. Now tell me what the hell this thread is all about.

Since I know that it was eating all of you up inside, I have decided to tell you why. Silly reason, actually.

See, every year (bar this one. ffs, the one year I want to test it out, it doesn't even rain in sydney!) it rains on the 10th of Feb. (I know, because it is my mum's birthday) So, I wanted to see how far it stretched.

Also, when I was little my mum's mum told me this story:

Scholastica was dedicated to God from a young age (some tellings of her story indicate that she preceded Benedict in godliness, and he came to holiness after she did, and in her wake). The most commonly told story about her is that she would, once a year, go and visit her brother at his abbey, and they would spend the day worshiping together and discussing sacred texts and issues.

At the end of the day, they had supper and continued their conversation. When Benedict indicated it was time for him to leave, she protested, and begged him to stay with her for the evening so they could continue their discussions. He refused, insisting that he needed to return to his cell. At that point, Scholastica closed her hands in prayer, and after a moment, a wild storm started outside of the guest house in which they were housed. Benedict asked, "What have you done?", to which she replied, "I asked you and you would not listen; so I asked my God and he did listen. So now go off, if you can, leave me and return to your monastery."

Benedict was unable to return to his monastery, and they spent the night in discussion. According to St. Gregory's Dialogues, three days later, from his cell, he saw his sister's soul leaving the earth and ascending to heaven in the form of a shining white dove.

Now, not that I believe it, but it always had me confused a little (see, it was supposed to rain every year on the 10th of feb in commemoration). Being little I could never stop thinking that this was maybe the reason why it always rained 

Anyway, thanks for humouring me!
