Finally, for the first time this year, we have experienced the passage of a relatively normal strong cold front.
It brought with it plenty of rain, wind, and for lucky people in south of river areas, there was lightning overnight.
I was in the Rockingham area for the afternoon so I was able to photograph a lot of the features of the front as it came in.
As far as weather goes, it was just your average winter cold front. Minor damage to homes meant that I was called out as an SES volunteer to patch some leaks.

I also got a timelapse video of the front moving in.

Throughout the day quite a few people stopped by to watch the weather. |
As the rain fell, so did the visibility. |
Is it a funnel cloud? Nope. It's a scud. They are often causes for false tornado or waterspout alerts. More info is in the storm spotters handbook. |
Once blown over, there is no damage from the scud clouds. |
