Ob’s thread? It was windy on the exposed hills with light overhead cloud this morning.

Cloud started to move in this afternoon and looks to be thickening over the NSW resort areas. Leeward pic from home:

 

[Nidecker]

Was sticky on the hill today... Perisher Area

 

[Ultra2.0]

bushfire smokey, but warm westerly winds between my house and the fence across the road.

 

[SMSkier]

Sunny and breezy at circa 1800 ASL. Pic taken just out of bounds so not BC per sey. Around 3 degrees.

 

[POW Hungry]

 

[Ijay]

Nice pics there, and looking okay for a good Southerly surge.
Hoping for a dusting or more on the Wadbilliga, will have the camera ready Tuesday a.m.
The Low off the coast that's coming up may deliver the goods.

 

[blueandwhite]

Dry and warm at Buller today. Jane is not confident for Buller over this period and neither am I!

 

[Mister Tee on XC Skis]

EC tonight looks like R*** at Mt. Stirling, not much of the skiable stuff .

^^^^….per the 2 posts above. Moonbah also copping the winds. Strong enough for tree damage here. Average wind speeds at Thredbo around 100 kph since 8 p.m. Dropped off a bit since 5 a.m.

Temps have dropped a bit in the mountains. Thredbo top currently at circa 1.5 and PV around 3.

BOM AWS for both showing some moisture since 5:30 a.m.

Fingers crossed those temps drop further during the day.

 

[malas1]

Weather over west from middlingbank,bit of breeze too

 

[buckwheat]

cool sky from Jindy

 

[Nidecker]

Can confirm all of the above, just did the usual morning walk of the dog, she stayed on the ground but only just. Some of the gusts on the lake would be above 40knts by the look of the water rest of the lake looks 20 to 25, good day for a windsurf!!

120KPH Winds here a Crackenback. I will wait for the winds to drop a bit and head over to Wooducks place to pick up all of my wombats. I saw them flying towards the Jindy North Shore at first light this morning.

Bring the big ladder, the hairy nosed buggers are playing poker behind the chimney

The live Mt Buller cams at bottom of Standard and LBS are a revelation! Check them out - big phat flakes. Amazing how much more intel you get from a video stream than a single image.

 

[hongomania]

Strong winds and rain overnight at DP. Was a loud thunderstorm at 7am with hail

Car alarm went off at 5am from the wind. Nothing like going outside naked after being shocked out of rem sleep whilst it's hailing to check there's no leaks through the windscreen (need to seal it up better)

 

[blueandwhite]

Rained pretty heavily overnight at Buller. Now puking.

 

[CarveMan]

 

[Chowder11]

I observe being covered in yellow wattle pollen for the last couple of days. 10mm of rain would be just lovely thnx.

 

[Jellybeans]

5cm so far I reckon, the light and fluffy stuff too at Buller.

[POW Hungry]

Puking on Hotham Snake Gully Cam.

 

[Bato]

Thredbo top station should go negative in the next 30min.

 

[POW Hungry]

Still a couple of hours for Thredbo TS IMO.
6mm since 9am though. Not a bad drop.

 

[Goanna]

PV temp dropping...2deg. in the last hour.

 

[Bato]

Still a couple of hours for Thredbo TS IMO.

[POW Hungry]

Its normally about 2 hours after Falls Creek, they went negative around 12:00

Front moving~20 knots (below). Thredders bout 100kms from Falls as the crow flies and has a ~300m elevation headstart.
So 3-4 hours after Falls

A good top up and refresh on the Falls Creek Table o meter.

It is snowing at Lake Mtn. .
A good few cms. in the car park and all. The Upper XC ski trails would be revived by this snow fall .

 

[Mister Tee on XC Skis]

Even Mt. Buffalo is getting some snow at Dingo Dell at 1300 M. ASL.

 

[Mister Tee on XC Skis]

No snow is falling at TBJ at Mt. Stirling at 1270 M . ASL but The Bluff spur

[Mister Tee on XC Skis]

Baw Baw is experiencing snow falling, a relatively rare thing for BB this ski season.

 

[Mister Tee on XC Skis]

The picnic table on the bottom left hand corner of the Dinner Plain POMA snow camera image shows what looks like 15 cms of fresh snow IMHO.

 

[Mister Tee on XC Skis]

The XC ski trails look prime at the moment on the Hotham to D.P. trail.

 

[POW Hungry]

Snot falling on Perisher Snow Stake.
