First snow in autumn/winter forecast 2010

[David Simpson]

With some mundane weather on the radar for the next week or so, thought we'd all have a guess at when the word 'snow' will first appear in the BOM forecast.

My guess...March 25th.

Sorry to spoil your fun David but,

about a week ago there was, snow forecast for the highest peaks and this is about the second time it has been mentioned this year.

I think they may also forecast it again for the highest peaks tonight.

Jeez SF get into the spirit of the game!!! Picky picky picky.

I think there was a similar topic (and response) last year wasn't there?

Gudday Dave M,

this evening with the showers and wind in Kingstn is whetting my appetite for things to come! Bring on winter I say! For the forseeable future it looks as if we will be covered by a large dominant high.

We already had a snowfall for an hour here in Adaminaby in early Feb. Settled for a couple of hours within 1km of our residence. Would have settled here but we just missed the best part of the clouds.

Liking the picture Kel!!! Say g'day to Me good mate Andy please.

Looooonnng term GFS showing good prospects for you in about 10 days down there.

Hi Dave M,

Nice to here from you again, has been a while!!

Yeh just keeping the forums accurate Dave!

Today is cool and windy with the odd light shower about.

Really feels like winter is on it's way today. 82 days and it will be winter Ya Ya

[Michael Fewings]

Hope its a good snow year.

It was a bit disapointing last year

[Michael Fewings]

In response to your snow forecast how about you put a date on when we fisrt get snow forecast to 400m?

at least that is sure not to have happened so far tis year and it is relatively ikely to happen in May, June sometime.

I will go with June 15

Hi all, 9.6mm here.

Looks like some snow around Saturday the 10th-11th or something like that!!!

Long way out though!

Looking like it may happen be it Sunday night!!

[Michael Fewings]

Good call dave!!!

Noticed that no one is willing to go for a snow to 400m in the forecast date pick.

Wimps ... all of you

[Stale fish]

Hi MF,
You want a call for snow to 400m 7th - 9th May!!!!

Outlook for Sunday :
Rain tending to showers during the afternoon and
contracting to west to south. Cool with fresh to strong westerly winds tending
colder southwesterly with highland snowfalls likely later.

Looking good with another intresting system coming in around Wednesday Next week.

[David Simpson]

woohoo the winter discussions have begun! really looking forward to the snow season this year, can't wait to get Bella in the stuff for her first taste of it, she's 5 months old now and gagging to build her dad a snowman!

[gmccrory]

I reckon Sunday afternoon should bring something. Have had some bits of odd sleet up here but I think some light snow showers should start winter off.

[Michael Fewings]

me thingink that the june forecast for snow might be a bit late.

I hope it is!!

Well done SF for going out there.

so now we have in order of dates ...
7th - 9th May : SF
15th June : MF

Weather has been boring up here, at least you lot are closer to action. GFS starting to push changes a bit further northward in latest runs, shouldn't be too long before you get a proper fall. Late next week is looking slightly hopeful.

Back from my summer hibenation and looking forward to the indian summer moving on . ! Officially the Ben had a couple of CM of fresh snow last sunday night which according to the creek inn owner was the first snow since last October which is a very long period without snow for the Ben.. Early next week looks potentially ok for a cold front providing some snow above 1200m around 26th -27th April maybe
