Hold tight - we’re checking permissions before loading more content Cliché as it may be, the skies made sure Shepparton felt every word of it in the opening days of March. Let’s take a rain check, shall we? The region copped a proper soaking to kick off the month, with 35mm falling on Monday, March 2, followed by another 25.6mm on Tuesday, March 3. News photographer Rechelle Zammit was out and about on Monday, snappin’ in the rain. Gutters were gurgling down Cornwall Crt, Shepparton.
