Cold and Snow – Now July Heat

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Headed up to the Northern Tablelands last Wednesday (15th July) to intercept some snowfalls across the region. A very large cold pool brought scattered storm clouds across NSW. Some of these managed to produce snow on higher ground between Guyra and Glen Innes. The best falls were at Ben Lomond (where I was) where snow depth got to about 6cm or more by the next morning.

All photos for the two days are here:

In contrast to the snow and cold, this week has seen widespread temperatures in the mid 20s. Looks like it will get to 25 today after 24 the past two days.

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.
