UPDATE 2pm Saturday:
Pretty decent size flakes falling.
Pics of Shakey Knees. Hmmmm…….
UPDATE 11:30am Saturday:
5cm of snow overnight and blue skies. Snowmakers have been playing connect the dots on Baldy and Shakey Knees, Skakey has just opened for the day, report to come.
UPDATE: 9am Saturday:
It snowed, thank god. Looks to be about 5cm, Baw Baw seems to have had the best of it. Will update when I get out and about.
UPDATE: 11:50pm Friday:
Rain has turned to Sleet at Buller. And not a moment too soon. Arrived in the dark so couldn’t see too much but the word is that there would be no lifts unless something happens tonight. So lets hope it keeps happening!
Unfortunately not a whole lot more moisture on the way according to the Radar but we may well see some snow in the next couple of hours. Cold temps will of course get the guns going too. Given that we knew it would rain first then turn cold sometime between now and Saturday arvo, this isn’t so bad.
Will update again from the morning and get some pics up if possible.
UPDATE: 5:30pm Friday:
Nothing to see here. I’ll spam from the heavens when it starts to snow. But not before.
UPDATE: 8:30am Friday: Today is not a day to watch the weather or the snow cams, for at least the next 24 hours or so. In true Australian fashion, it’s going to get worse before it gets better. If I hear things from the hill I may or may not post them as they’re unlikely to be good.
Jane’s Weather paints the picture.
Thursday:
Thursday is a good day for a snow report.
Mainly because people are deciding to go for the weekend or not, also the snow reports are on the mainstream media on a Thursday, and snow people are thinking about it. Last Thursday the traffic to my site was enormous. So I think I’ll make a point of starting a ‘Weekend Conditions’ post each Thursday, that I will continually update over the weekend.
The problem is, this week, Thursday is a day too early. It rained for most of last weekend, and the weather has done SFA since. It hasn’t snowed, they haven’t made much snow, nor has it rained either. A real nothing week. The fun starts tomorrow.
I got on the phone this afternoon to a friend who has been there all week and there was nothing much to report. Baldy is closed, Shakey Knees is open but getting very thin, and Bourke St is OK. No revelations, but there it is.
As I’ve been posting about here, there’s some significant weather on the way. It will start wet, and end up cold. That much is clear. However the timing of the coldness, and whether this will coincide with any wetness is a whole other story.
So that’s about all I have for now, I’ll update this post continually as I get tidbits throughout the day, and then when I arrive on the hill tomorrow night. Meanwhile keep an eye on the Village Square Cam as this will give you the best idea of whether the precipitation is clear or white.
