It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

With the system moving south and 'winding up' these totals will increase a fair bit tonight.

Dave, coming home from work the creeks are all flooded and the channels are the colour of a cappuchino!

Issued at 3:38 pm Wednesday, 29 November 2017.
HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM LATE THURSDAY

A high pressure system will continue to strengthen over the Tasman Sea this week allowing a hot and humid northeasterly airstream to continue. A trough of low pressure crossing the Bight will reach western Victoria on Thursday and then become slow-moving. A low pressure system will develop over northwestern Victoria on Friday before drifting slowly southeastwards over the weekend.
HEAVY RAIN and SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS which may lead to FLASH FLOODING are likely to develop in the far west during THURSDAY night before extending across the remaining parts of the State during FRIDAY. The heavy rain and thunderstorm activity will continue on SATURDAY.
Three day totals of around 60-120mm are expected south of the Divide and over the far northwest with totals of between 100 and 200mm over remaining areas on and north of the Divide. However, totals over the northeast ranges may exceed 250mm.
Locations which may be affected include Mildura, Horsham, Warrnambool, Bendigo, Shepparton, Seymour, Maryborough, Ballarat, Geelong, Melbourne, Wodonga, Wangaratta, Traralgon and Bairnsdale.
The State Emergency Service advises that people should:
* Don't walk, ride or drive through flood water;
* Keep clear of creeks and storm drains;
* Be aware that in fire affected areas, rainfall run-off into waterways may contain debris such as ash, soil, trees and rocks;
* Be alert that in areas recently affected by fires, heavy rainfall increases the potential for landslides and debris across roads;

The next Severe Weather Warning will be issued by 11:00 pm AEDT Wednesday.
Warnings are also available through TV and Radio broadcasts, the Bureau's website at http://www.bom.gov.au or call 1300 659 217. The Bureau and State Emergency Service would appreciate warnings being broadcast regularly.

What universe do you live in?
150mL to 9.00a.m at Eildon, 175 mL at Tonga Bridge and you call it drizzle? Melbourne was lucky that it didn't come as far south as forecast but Healesville still got 80mL.

As was explained when the forecasts were made low pressure system are much harder to predict than highs; I would suggest that the BOM acted responsibly with their warnings.

<Must live in same universe as the Premier of the state, seems he agrees with me and now regrets some of the language he used to describe the event
