Well it’s warm and rainy in Melbourne. Not what I was hoping.
At the start of the week I was about 50/50 on heading up to Buller on the weekend. The Bombers are playing on Friday night, I have a dinner that I should go to on Saturday, so it was going to be a bit of a stretch to get there, but I was definitely going to try.
However the current forecasts don’t fill me with joy. Here’s another couple of local bloggers’ take on things:
Windy, windy, windy … and snow
The Wang isn’t particularly optimistic either.
Humph.
If it does snow, and the Bombers lose, I won’t be happy.
What do you read into the weather for the weekend?
UPDATE: Thu 9:30am
Pretty disastrous night for the Vic resorts, 30mm of rain at Buller, 55mm at Hotham, but things are on the up, Hotham has tweeted that it has turned to snow, and this is evident on the roof of the Valley View Cam.
Cold air is sweeping across the state, the Mt William AWS in the Grampians has dropped to 0.5C.
Will it be a net gain or net loss? Will I go to Mt Buller or the football?
UPDATE 2: Thu 10:30am
A violent cold front just smashed through Melbourne, it was hilarious watching the smokers cower in a corner outside my work! Melb Airport AWS shows a drop from 13c to 6.7c in just over an hour.
So the cold air is coming, the main question is will it be a nett loss or gain?
Jane’s Weather has a morning update.
Let me know what your plans are and what you use to make your decisions.
UPDATE: Thu 1pm
Lorraine Lock from snow-blind just messaged me to say that it is snowing heavily at Buller.
Also blizzard conditions at Hotham.

And with the amount of rain in the front passing through, should be a little heavy for a bit.
Go the HAWKS!!!!
Here’s hoping it’s cold enough.
We just got slammed at my work near Melb Airport, the AWS dropped from 13 to 6.7 between 9:30am and 10:30am
What I’m dreading is a storm where we see 50mm of rain and 5cm of snow.
I’ll wait till July :p
Go to Buller…. otherwise you’ll be hanging your head later on and i’ll be there tomorrow night to make sure I see it.
Then again, it’s not really snowing all that much.
