Thats true.
However the bottom of Mt P looks ok too.
As does Guthega.
Anyways. I'll get told off soon

Flakes falling at Hoth
and @mick chopps right to the point that good marketing covers many sins... and that we have a great snow making program that addresses the shite systems we will always have. Well particularly with Perri and The BO... observe the cams and they are fantastic given the past day.
My wife said this is the best snow she’s had at Thredbo… cover up top has held up and it’s soft with a little new snow on top. Makes the trees fun.
Have had snow flurries during the morning.Snowing at Dinner plain now. Small ice flakes with odd bigger proper snowflake.
Light sleet at Buller village 1600m. Only 1mm all day though.
Windy corner is well, windy. Alternating between graupel, clear snow and nothing. Temp still marginal but I have everything crossed. Report back from heathy spur of pea sized hail and blasting wind. Wintry mix just starting at windy.
Obs from around Mt P at PV.
1. Firstly, the snowpack above 1850 ASL has survived that moisture onslaught amazingly well. The snowpack was in good shape prior and seems to have “absorbed” a lot of the moisture. Just IMO.
2. The 2 snowfalls prior to the storm 40 cms and 5 cms definitely helped.
3. The snowpack has been smoothed out and now has around 3 cms of fresh grauple on it - as at 10:30 today.
4. The “refreeze” of the base has kicked in. Could feel it underfoot up high when skiing off piste.
The upcoming forecasted new snow will “heal” any gaps etc if the totals are close to the forecast. IMO.
At low elevations, along Kosi Rd (say down to 1400 ASL) there’s significant snow loss. But it does not matter really.
Peri Creek circa 8:30.
the radar is filling nicely from the right direction
How I would discribe today…
Have a look at the live cam. The trees are in party mode.
Looks like wind has stopped play at Blue Cow.
Buller revolting all day. Snowed for about 30 seconds at one point. Relentless drizzle otherwise. Had a mate insist on coming up to use his day ticket. Forced me to ski 830-3pm in the rain. Mountain has taken some damage today for sure. On the plus side, no lift lines!
Hotham has had a bit of snow. I think they are fitting chains to all wehicles on the road to Bright. I came across a buss in front of central that was waiting for the snow plough to follow down.
At the top its all good but down at bottom of Heavenly its fairly wet snow. Did 2 runs with the family and we were all soaking wet. Probably had around 1cm on the car in 2h. Heavy wet snow below the road. Called it quits after 2 runs.
Dinner plain on the other hand has had snow barely settle on the ground.
Oof, was planning on going up next week but might skip it and hope for a decent snowfall some time soon.Buller revolting all day. Snowed for about 30 seconds at one point. Relentless drizzle otherwise. Had a mate insist on coming up to use his day ticket. Forced me to ski 830-3pm in the rain. Mountain has taken some damage today for sure.

Next two lowering of heights periods as-per ec ,never looked @ precip rates.
At least Perisher getting some love. Dismal for Vic & worse long range atm.
I observe 3 degrees at island bend on my weather station. Wind blowing strongly, waiting for the white stuff.Radar getting thuck.
Heaviest 10pm on
Perisher getting heavier go you good thing
Been quiet for the last fees hours, mix of heavy rain and snow at mid mtn currently
The wind eased at IB this morning so I put the awning back up so I could use the fridge, stove etc. again. Beaudy! Went to Jindabyne for most of the day & came back to find it back to raging gale & half the awning on the ground. I've been here since Sunday and have skied once. Not happy am I. Might go up tomorrow afternoon despite the melee - I'll just snarl at anyone who gets in my way.
Sight for sore eyes, ticketyboo, cockahoot and all that jazz.
This is a Perisher system IMO.
Should do really well by the AM.
4mm/hr at the current rate, more on the radar.
Not saying I called that a week ago....
But
You reckon it will miss Thredbo and favour PV due to the wind direction?
Lets be real, the whole thing was a Peri system haha
Rain, scum, snow... the lot.
Thredbo will do ok, but the FL sucks and the NW'ly approach is all wrong for Thredbo.
I did '03 Summer in Apira Lodge and that road clearing debris was an entertainer into December.Finally some frozen stuff on the roof Buller
Those temps are real borderline.
Just watching from far away. Wish I could be there.
Even with the #@!n.
