Good old LAPS is indicating the anything on Saturday appears to be of the water kind and not the snow kind... Except for above around 1700 metres
GFS still has the rain turning to snow about 4am Sunday morning for Vic resorts and then 5-15 cms of snow for VIC GFS on Sunday 5-15cms again, but trying to say it's going to get warmer GFS for Tue/Wed some more snow-showers - Best for VIC resorts of course
Perhaps some good wet sloppy snow, good for base building ?
I'll take that skidown being at Perisher where the base is at 1700m. If it does come in that form it will help put a bullet proof cover over the non man made areas in anticipation for falls next week
They post this in their Weather News: "Lowest snow depth for more than 20 years" "Unfortunately, over the next three or four days we're also going to get warmer than average temperatures and also rain. "The existing snow cover will be, I think, further damaged by that."
Thu Aug 05 Light snow clearing then sunnier 50% 2-5cm 1300 Easing S/SW Improving
What are the lay people meant to think? No wonder there is so much speculation over climate change when there are silly thing like this... who are we to believe??
Ima reckon ill book a trip to Japan every time we need 1m of snow here.
Just book Japan, and every time you go TO Japan, you'll get a 1m dump, at least!!!!
When and where are you going?
14-21st Feb, just past Chinese NY. I wanted to go 1st week Feb but it would be chaos. It's also cheaper during this time than CNY. Heading to Niseko, hopefully this time we can spend a bit of time looking for an apartment to buy over there, it'll be my 3rd time there.
Anyways back to these coming systems as i want to get some skiing in heavy aussie fresh in before the end of the year
