It Snowed in Deepwater and this Cold is Snapping Everyone!

Starting last weekend the temperatures dropped dramatically as an Arctic Vortex settled over most of New South Wales.   Of course its cold, it is Winter but these temperature drops were drastic.

Last night when we went to bed there was a definite chill in the air and I awoke to a complete white blanket of snow over everything.  It was still snowing when I went out to photograph this momentous event.  The locals say it hasn't snowed here for 60years.  My neighbour was out but really we were the only ones up seeing this auspiciousness take place.

The snow was heavy in those places that got snow last week and the highways were closed again because of so much snow on the roads.

 It started snowing in Queensland out near Toowoomba and this was forecast for last week and they were shivering. This time it really snowed.  It was forecast to snow in Stanthorpe last week  and that did lots for the local tourism but there was no snow in town but today it was over everything and it was a deep blanket.  There was also a lot of good snow at Eukey nearby to Stanthorpe and near Tenterfield at Mt Mt McKenzie.  These places are just over the border from Stanthorpe in Southern Queensland.

It snowed at Bolivia Hill where Brice and I went snow chasing but it wasn't white on the ground but it was floating in the air and I tried desperately to photograph this.  This time I got to photograph the snow on my boot with ease.  The flakes were so big.

We are up very high above sea level here, 974m above sea level and it snowed all over.  It was literally freezing temperatures all over.  The coastal areas are feeling the drops in temperatures as well.

This image below was snapped down the road from here at Guyra.  The link is under the pic to go and look at heaps more great images of last weeks and this weeks snow dumping up here on the New England.

Might Snow???

The weather events lately have been extreme weather and there is much more to come as the Earth wakes from her slumber years and stretches and drops the fleas from her body that collected their while she rested with no permission. 

This photo was taken at 15:30hrs today on the Hume Hwy, Breadalbane (between Goulburn and Gunning).Take care if you are heading south this afternoon around the Gunning and Lake George areas.

MIGHT SNOW here where we are in the New England as we are only 30m shy of the 1000m in the Northern Tablelands area Partly cloudy. Areas of fog and patches of light frost on and west of the ranges early this morning. Slight (30%) chance of a shower in the late morning and afternoon. Snow possible above 1000 metres. Winds westerly 15 to 25 km/h turning southwesterly 20 to 30 km/h in the late afternoon. Daytime maximum temperatures between 11 and 21. We had sleet earlier on today. You could see it floating on the air as it is lighter than rain.  It is also pretty too.  But it was a very cold day today and we were warmly tucked up in front of the fire for most of it.  Its nice to get out in the chilly weather though and see the cloud formations across this great big sky country here.  The clouds look like puffy squareish pillows sometimes in an endless repetitive sequence and these look amazing.

 I am always looking forward to the day that I see snow and can photograph this event.  One of these days soon I will get to see this as the weather gets more radical.  Until then all I can do is write about it in hope of the time that I do see it.

ICE on the bin in Armidale.
