I hear some people had to be rescued from Mt Wellington, blizzard conditions up top, some hid in the toilet block, others got disoriented and were wandering around looking for their car. One time when I was up there I had ice form on my beard.10-12°c with 120km/h winds oh ......and rain

yeah Tasmania got SMASHED over the weekend been #### weather since Easter.
Someone sent a drone up, took a couple of shots. The flooding is on the farmland that surrounds my housing estate. The roads that weren't closed, were gridlocked this afternoon.Flooding here, 4-5 inches of rain a day, for multiple days will do that. My 20km trip home turned into 55km, driving around floods and closed roads. Stayed home today, there's only one way open to get to where I work now, and it's a back road taking a main roads traffic, a normal 22min run would now take 2-3 hours. In the pic below, there would normally be no water in this view, this is farmland.

The rain has stopped, and we have a cool, but nice, day. The flood waters are moving slowly towards the coast. So many roads are closed, I had to drive double my normal distance to get home yesterday, but I was lucky, it was still less than an hour, for some it took 3 or 4 hours, and they only had to go 20km or so.
The first pic below I took a month ago, the second was this morning.

None of the houses in our area are affected, the estate was elevated above the flood plain. The farmers did lose some cattle, 5 or 6 I believe, they opened all the internal gates, but some of the cattle went the wrong way. Also thousands of litres of fuel would have been wasted, some people were stuck in traffic jams for up to 5 hours trying to get home.
