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

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
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.www.abc.net.au
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?As usual, the BoM makes the critical error of merging the tropics with the more poleward regions.

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).
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.The tropics still has seasonal anomalies for 'sub-tropical winter' - in a sense of the JJA season.

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.

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.

This was Charles Davis the photographer from Cooma I saw it on his insta he was looking for photo gold with the ducks and the snow!I observe unusual activities from time to time, but this one surprised me: Snorkelling in Thredbo River during a snowstorm. Wet-suited chap is in the pic, centre, near edge RHS (note ripples)![]()
Thas the thing, we have had great late May falls only to washed away by QBW or thereabouts rain events, or SFA snow for 6 weeks following... I agree.. if this comes off then it is unprecidented in my adult recollection.Haven't seen back to back systems like this this early, ever. I predict 18 degrees at Thredbo AWS on August 1
Likewise. Can’t recall this much snow before the official opening. Couldn’t ask for a better start to the season.Thas the thing, we have had great late May falls only to washed away by QBW or thereabouts rain events, or SFA snow for 6 weeks following...

Not since 2000Likewise. Can’t recall this much snow before the official opening. Couldn’t ask for a better start to the season.
2000 was dry for a few weeks after the May mega dump, but then the systems started rolling in and it was a cracker of a season.Thas the thing, we have had great late May falls only to washed away by QBW or thereabouts rain events, or SFA snow for 6 weeks following...
