Too true. But at least with the soil damp they’re relatively easy to pull out.

We, on the far south coast of NSW, have also have had more rain since the destructive hail storm last weekend. Although, our annual rainfall is still under half of last year’s tally. So, for the past three years our rainfall has been dropping off each year.
Some older folk are saying,“What will happen if the Bega River which is tapped into an aquifer and flows mostly below the ground dries up.” I say that thought is not worth thinking about, until it does. It could be the stuff of nightmares, why put yourself through it? If it does, then panic and start packing to move elsewhere.
No rain in Melbourne for Christmas Day.
In fact it is a superb day.
Weather-wise, it’s a 10/10 Christmas day.
A glorious sunny blue sky.

Rain this morning
Not alot of rain but ■■■■■■■ humid as ■■■■ here.
Love the rain, always have. Remember in primary, would always wade through ankle deep water along the gutters on the way home. Love thunder and spectacular lighting as well. “Mother nature” knows how to put on a good show.

Well you certainly rained on the parade @theDJR
37 here at the moment, windy and climbing fast. I think I can see a cloud somewhere over to the west, might be the start of that cool change coming through later. 
Looks seriously threatening, might be some decent precipitation on the way.
