Cold and calm in Parkdale this morning. Light rain falling straight down with barely a breath of wind. A beautiful Melbourne winter morning!

Looks like obs at Perisher in line with BOM 3 day precip, about 30cm+
In NSW it's chains from Sawpit Creek to Perisher and cChains from Penderlea Hill to skitube and onto thredbo.
Should be fun and games all round today.
At least the wind has stopped - the quad might finally spin for the first time this week for more than 15 mins.
Still only 5 lifts at Perisher - so not worth rushing down to today IMO - Saturday will be chaos.
hotham calling 20cm in the last 24 hours with 45cm depth at sun run , big D . looking good for 50cm with a couple more troughs to hit the hills today
Lake Mountain saying 6 cm overnight. Looking very very pretty. Snowguns pumping too.

Low has really stopped in its tracks so that second trough line will whip around from the NW and should hit around 9-10am I'm thinking. Great result for the Nth resorts, Buller will be crying out for the SW.hotham calling 20cm in the last 24 hours with 45cm depth at sun run , big D . looking good for 50cm with a couple more troughs to hit the hills today
Wondering if the Low stalling might cycle some of the moisture injected last night by the trough from central Queensland into the SW flow later today.
Still waiting on the SWly to get their best snow. The Low Stalling and whipping around hasn't helped them. Great news for the Nth resorts.
Thing about Buller, it can rain at -2 if the direction is wrong.
Bawbs reporting 11cm. Poor old Buller really got stiffed on this one it seems.
Falls reporting 24cm for the 24hr period. I'm thinking about 18-20 of that since night fall last night.
Perisher reporting 35cm in a rare example of not trying to match Thredbo's earlier report.
Both reports will be up high so probably 25cm in the resort itself I'd think.
Forecast says another 15-35 to come.
Buller page now says 10cm. Seems more like it judging from Village cam.
Might be 35cm for the last 24 hours. I wouldn't say - from what I can see in the dark of the road, my parked car and around the lodge - that there has been more than maybe 10-15cm more accumulated at Smiggins base elevation overnight.
Wind was definitely nothing to speak of overnight, which is both good and bad - good because the snow fell more-or-less downwards and bad because the resort has a lot of snow fences up to catch it and those places will have caught less than they will have hoped.
Should still be enough to open up a fair bit of the hill as preparation and staff training permits.
All of this
Didn't mind so much at 7pm last night... But 12hrs?!! Get your shit together people, we are relying on you!!!!
Does this help - Smiggins machinery shed and the Smiggins turnoff with our spur road and carpark (including my Subaru parked since yesterday lunchtime) in the foreground.

Bit of sleet going over mt buninyong on my way to Ballarat for work this morning
Care of Falls Australia twitter. This is at the top of the Village in the Summit bowl. Possibly the start of this years "tabl'o'metre".

Fark all at thredbo. Lucky to be 5 cm at village level. About 20 cm total at dead horse gap. Looks sparse on the hill below 1700m.
I observe my overnight drive was a waste of family points.
Got a good park though.
Dove Lake Carpark, Cradle Mountain. Gone be purdy if that cloud/fog clears.
I observe Rocketboy skiing in the Perisher carpark.
I observe my jealousness has just gone up a notch
Did come up the Alpine Way from Kancoban? I wanted to know if you observed that it was open.
Snow level got low last night. TBJ @ Mt Stirling. 1100m.
Heavy rain coming down here again in Emerald Vic and 3 degrees!
Snow reported at Macedon this morning.

Perisher would be putting their powerade bottles on the right hand side bench, not the left.
Any one heading up to Mt Lofty today? Looking for a ride up, just putting wax on and adjusting bindings. Looks promising IMO! ❄️Coming down nicely at Perisher, word is light and dry...
I observe Mt Lofty(SA) hasn't got below 2.6c. But you never know. It's raining so may be some quality slush!I observe plenty of great reporting in the forums this morning.
Thanks everyone

If you look closely you can definitely see it coming down in 5cm increments. Perisher is such an amazing place, nowhere else in the world is like it.- Status
