What's the temperature where you are???

If there's one thing I've learned from reading your comments it's that snow is complicated!
Yup. It sure is!

Thankfully it seems to be melting well. Going to be cold tonight at -9C and barely above the freezing point tomorrow. Then back up in the high single digits (40s in F), and even up to 13C with rain this weekend.

Today we had a high of 10C (50F) at 10am and it dropped steadily from there. It’s -2C currently.

Ex-Cyclone Tropical Alfred turns NSW Northern Rivers properties into islands​

The flow-on effect of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred has turned some properties into islands in the NSW Northern Rivers, as residents wait with bated breath for peak flooding to recede.

In the small riverside town of Lawrence, located 30 kilometres from Grafton, the Coulthurst's farm became surrounded by the Clarence River within just 24 hours.

"We woke up yesterday [Sunday] morning, and it was completely flooded. It really rose overnight," Bob Coulthurst said.

"I rang the agent after it happened last time, I said, 'You've undersold it, we're up there with Branson'."

Bob and his wife Genevive were in the middle of moving from Sydney to Lawrence during the 2022 floods, when the river almost reached their doorstep.

This time around, they have made sure their tinny is working to be able to traverse across their driveway and the neighbouring golf course, which is mostly submerged.

"I don't think I've been this anxious …this time compared to the first time. The first time, we were not prepared, but this time it just feels like we were expecting it."

Ms Coulthurst adding: "We're prepared, we know what's going to happen, and we're very fortunate."

The couple said they would only leave their home if the situation turned "catastrophic".

According to the latest census data, Lawrence has a population of about 1,000 people.

Over Sunday and Monday, low-lying parts of the town had been under a prepare to evacuate warning with ex-Cyclone Alfred causing moderate flooding.

Water levels in the area rose from below one metre on Saturday to above three metres on Monday.

While in nearby Grafton, the city reached major flooding levels with a peak of above 5.7 metres early on Monday.

The NSW State Emergency Service (SES) said high tides and large waves off the east coast meant the water was taking longer than usual to recede.
 
69° at 9:00 P.M. Maybe some rain later tonight. ¿Quién sabe? 🤷‍♀️

Arizonans do not change their clocks. They stay on Mountain Standard time year round. The only exception is the Navajo Nation which spans three states, Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. They observe daylight savings time so all of their members can stay in the same time zone.
