Two days of rain coming. And wind; could be pretty fierce. It’s visible this morning as portent.
High drama about the coming low. Warnings are all over the newspaper websites as well as at the BOM. We’re outside of the main impact zone but squarely inside the warning area. Gale force wind gusts and tons of rain, Tuesday (tomorrow) and Wednesday mostly, they reckon. Abating Thursday.
Not much I can do to dodge it, except head up to Canberra, although Cooma they predict is going to cop it.
I love it. High energy. Nature in your face, a reminder of who’s boss. Replenishment. Renewal after it’s spent.
The main concern for living in the van isn’t rain-I’ll just get wet and freezing cold-it’s a branch through a solar panel. So I’m in a spot now, in case it comes earlier in the night, where hopefully I’ll be okay.
Driving with the panels in strong wind is troubling too; these upright vans problematic enough without panels, like sails, on the roof.
In many ways this East Coast Low is what I’m here for. Often the warnings don’t produce the weather expected, but you never know each time.
So I just get excited and wait for it to come.
This is the distilled worst:
