    Perhaps the last hurrah of the season (at least while lifts are running)
    EC has been pretty solid on this for a few days.

    Monday

    Tuesday

    [​IMG]

    Wednesday

    Temps on Monday will be marginal to start. Some shadowing effect from Tasmania Tuesday morning then should be good at least for NSW Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday.

    IMO

    Jane is on board, calling 5-10 cm. Tuesday-Wed although I think she has modified her initial forecast.

    ASX starting to come onboard. 850's come good late Tuesday. But Uppers lagging cold pool.

    So R##n Monday into Tuesday. Then 10 -15cm Tuesday into Wednesday. IMO.

    EC suggest Baw Baw could get a little at the tail end of this, on the 24th.

    Looks like 10-15mm precipitation. How much of that falls as rain depends upon the elevation, as it's reasonably warm initially.

    Models are notoriously unreliable over the changes (spring and autumn). I'd hold your horses until it's a bit closer.

    nice to see some real cold coming through this week!
    all snow falls for the past 6 weeks have been Mon-Wed (with weekends warm and clear which has been good for resorts)
    I see anything open on Wed to be fun, fresh, cold and dryish snow - pretty good for late sept
