Went up to the snow today at #MtStGwinear which is not far from #BawBaw but closer drive and free (but with a food van in the season, so nice hot jam donut & hot chocolate 😋) and we've stopped in at #ThomsonDam on our way home (very small detour).

It seemed much lower than last time I visited & posted about it when the dam was spilling, so I looked up the level... It's at 72.7% at the moment. I then looked up the other dams.. Thomson Dam is overwhelmingly the biggest water storage in #Victoria but mostly goes to #Melbourne.

Then I looked up the history... I think pictures speak louder than words here.

So I'm wondering... how much damage do dams do to the #hydrologic cycles in their regions? Are dams contributory to reducing rainfall long term, or is other destruction of the existing biomass in the region or overall climate change responsible? Or is the rare filling of the dam simply due to the ever increasing population of #Naarm? #ClimateChange #dams #environment #Gippsland

So, we seem to have a small #poweroutage here in the Mt BawBaw area, with about 5-600 households affected. No idea what happened but I suspect a lightning strike somewhere. I knew outages used to be more common but was told a substation change/upgrade had put an end to that... estimated to be fixed by midnight tonight, crossing fingers that is what happens! Luckily don't have a ton of food in the freezer if not, and we have a Coonara for heating if needed and the heat pump should have quite a bit of hot water stored. But the house is warm and well insulated.
