*note: the first dozen or so comments here are copied from a discussion in a recent Victorian Forecaster Notes thread which, for posterity, I have transferred to a seperate forum thread - as it's a great discussion. Any comments before 7:30am Sunday 6/8 have a later timestamp than when initially posted (12-18 hours prior) but are in the correct sequence.

It wasn't that good.
