That looks like the view of Mt. Bogong from the Omeo/ Mitta Mitta Road not far from Mt. Wills and Christmas Creek saddle.Another cheeky shot of boges, cause why not
This guy is trending on EC. GFS has been claiming it’s a clipper. 11/12th is one to watch

Hopefully Gladys lets some of us NSW regions out of lockdown to enjoy it. I'm not liking my chances though.
'Slow creep of climate change' as seemingly ordinary winter actually fourth-hottest on record
Australia has just experienced its fourth-hottest winter since 1910. "Like a frog in a pot" we're feeling the "slow creep of climate change", says a leading climate change expert.

As usual, the BoM makes the critical error of merging the tropics with the more poleward regions. There is no "winter" up north—but a dry season; and it was chiefly there wherein much of this winter's "warmth anomaly" occurred, and thus skewed upwards for AU as a whole. The climate up north has absolutely nothing to do with us southerners, being affected by different climate drivers.'Slow creep of climate change' as seemingly ordinary winter actually fourth-hottest on record

Down south, especially in and around the alpine zones, it was a bang-on average winter by pretty much all metrics (Jun–Jul being of average temperature and rather wet; Aug rather warm and dry).
The tropics still has seasonal anomalies for 'sub-tropical winter' - in a sense of the JJA season. I am a bit confused why you suggest the topics should be omitted from a JJA seasonal report?
The greater region (by area & populous) of the continent is sub-tropics so it's simply referred to as 'Winter'.
I am eyeballing a ~80% 'above average temps' or more for sub-tropical regions of the continent. Look at poor old Tasmania sweltering... per capita, Tassie takes the cake for temp anomalies.
Oh nah I shoulda specified that because it's posted in an alpine/snow-related thread (mostly for the mainland resorts it seems), a national anomaly which includes the Torrid Zone doesn't really mean much.
Anomalies tend to differ greatly in short distances, for even within a region like, say, Southern NSW, there can be a striking divide in anomalies by merely crossing the ranges—which is how Jul 2020 was among the warmest recorded on the western side, but on the eastern side it was right on average (the opposite for e.g., Jul 1995). I find that mapped anomalies tend to hide these localised differences owing to their smoothed nature, not to mention the issue of station coverage and siting changes over time (the SW Slopes in particular have seen a severe reduction in stations since the 1960s).
Monday, 20th - Wednesday 22nd the next snow system to watch.
EC Ensembles suggesting a solid system (for September). Classic winter set-up.
Eons from now though.
Yum. Purple mountain time was high quality this evening
Image and a half taken at Towong, VIC. Probably need a make a visit to high country once.

EC has it sliding South:
Thoughts are posted above your post.Potential season saver on the cards? Thoughts?
It's still there and it's all good at the moment.
If it came off it would mean a good enough base for maybe 1-2 weeks in October once freedom day hits, I can only hope to the gods it comes off and is huge, big 2016 vibesThoughts are posted above your post.
