How long ago
Another day another chase in 2019 with more hail and structure. The highlight for me and Tejay was being on the lookout at Mt Victoria with some great structure with perspective. This is the best storm I have
observed from this location. After watching approach, I signalled to Tejay Lovelock that hail was imminent - he obviously knew this and moved towards Bathurst to leave the cell. I could only manage hailstones to 3.5cm in diameter and with rain falling and getting soaked and melt occurring I had to settle with this.After this storm, It seemed down hill from here with training of cells with heavy rainfall and hail cores on radar in no man's land. Low and behold a blow out of the tyre! This had to be changed and restricted me to the east of Bathurst.
I was restricted from further distant cells so made a last ditched effort to go to the cell near Sofala. Beautiful scenery and a nice linear cell with green tinge. I had to go after this and head home!

Nice photos! Please share with the storm starved people up north!
NSW has waited for us to leave to have the best storm season in years!
I was at Raglan – strike would
Of been around OโConnell road
Nice structure! and awesome perspective.
Great chunky structure Jimmy… I heard reports of Tennis Ball sized hail at Boorowa…
You’re killing it this year! ๐ฏ๐ Awesome!
To my QLD Friends, like me, you’ll never appreciate how hard it is to get such photos down here and the effort involved until you live here!
Imagine the only chase country you had was Lions Rd (and put it on the side of a mountain). That’s pretty much 90% of the chase terrain down here… and it takes 4hrs just to arrive at that destination.
Tenterfield is excellent chase terrain in comparison!
Nice one Jimmy! The Portland and Sofala cells produced some lovely structure but what really impressed me was the torrential rain – Iโm struggling to recall anything like it. Iโll go through pics and dash cam later.
Nice !!! Storm hogs!
This activity looked grunty from behind Jimmy! Taken near Bathurst
And another nice score well done mate
Terrific shot as always Jimmy!
Amazing pics๐ฎ๐
Thanks for the kind comments
Stop hogging it all Jimmy..lol.just cannot bring myself to do a Central Tablelands chase, no wriggle room
I actually had a dream of a storm in the Blue Mountains some time ago, I was in someone’s car driving along and there was a very black base with a few cg’s, afterwards I arrived at someone’s house and the storm had cleared and I wondered how it cleared up so quick without too much action.
