Cold Snowy and Windy for Southeast Australia

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Finally a sigficant cold front for SE Australia after a few weeks of action focusing on Southwest West Australia.

The change should see widespread snowfalls to the Alpine areas – the ski resorts have certainly been waiting for this!.

GFS tips a low off the NSW south coast which may shoot a cold pool up the ranges. We could see some decent snowfalls across the Central and possibly Northern Tablelands.

Besides the snow and rain chances, gales and severe weather warnings are featuring in SA, NSW and VIC already.

Cold and snow over southeast Australia

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Temperature got down to 5 this morning at McLeans Ridges, NSW which is about as low as it gets here. It reflects the cold airmass which has passed across Southeast Australia with widespread severe frosts in some parts this morning.

The best snowfalls Tuesday night and into Wednesday were largely confined to areas south of the Blue Mountains from what I can tell with some good falls along the southern ranges and alpine areas. A few flurries were reported from the Armidale area too.
