That's not a bad app., Redneck - but I have one that's even more accurate than the professional forecasters.

"What is it?" you ask.

Snails.

Snails climbing up the neighbours' wall. They know DAYS in advance of the multi-million dollar Met Department that a 'Big Wet' is coming - and they tell you how much to expect by how high they position themselves up the wall.

Never fails.

The snails can feel it in their bones. Cool

Another strange thing Herb is the way crickets suddenly appear after rain. It can be dry for three months then one day of rain and suddenly crickets are chirping in the garden.

Exactly.

He's been 'gay' on me for quite a while now.

Follows me around with a constant supply of little jabs and barbed comments to get my attention.

But hey, who am I to discourage him during these times of sexual liberation and closet-exitting?

Disappointed GordyL? Are you a thrill seeker.

Back in the day I'd have been out windsurfing on days like this.

I've been to this spot when waves splashes were making it higher than the cliffs.

See if the winds and swell increase tomorrow.

Exactly what I told youse all.

Real storms come out of the blue as a complete surprise in Sydney.

Predicted 'storms' almost always wimp-out before they reach Sydney.
