Mid Week Outlook & Torstein Horgmo Clip

Well looks like that little system has developed into something nice looking at hitting around Tuesday night and following through until Friday. The current depth is sitting at 111.8cm which is great! So this storm will hopefully get that over the 130cm mark!

Little Falls!

Great news!

The system we looked at a few days ago has come off better then expected!
There was barely much pre-frontal rain so it was cold enough to fall as snow and nice
dry snow is what fell overnight! The Cams are looking nice this morning at Thredbo & Perisher have indicated that the snow is nice and dry. It also looks like Perisher still have there snow making guns on







Looks superb out there today!

Looking ahead, the system will ease but things should stay cold enough so that the snow stays on the ground. Looking even further ahead, it seems we might not see much more snowfall until the end of the week. I will post a forecast later this week.

Big Snowfalls Ahead

I was going to post earlier about this one but i decided id wait until it was closer to actually happening. With 3 days out i woke up this morning for a quick look at the charts to see a very promising update!



The weak high that's settling over WA is pushing the deep southern low right into perfect position for a solid dumping of snow. There seems to be a great deal of moisture on the cards for most of next week also. The only slight problem is that cold line. Perisher is forecast for +1 for the valley for Wednesday which could possible make this more of a wet snowfall rather then a some soft dry snow.






So keep the eyes on the cams Tuesday night and Wednesday and hopefully by next Sunday we will have well over a metre of snow on the ground.

Snowfall outlook


Today is Saturday here in Australia and ill be posting an extensive outlook for the snow over the next few days for the Australian Alps.

Lets begin starting today:

The weather is currently 6 degrees at the perisher valley and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much moisture around but there is a slight chance for a dusting over the peaks. It would most likely fall as rain around the village as the freezing level is sitting just a little bit high.



Tomorrow, being Sunday the 21st of June there is a small bit of hope some
of continuing throughout the day. Although unfortunately the freezing level may be too high for snowfall to accumulate on the lower valley. However we may see some snowfall above 1700-1750m (1-3cm) throughout the nigh.



Further outlook, over the next couple of days there looks like a small system will arrive on Tuesday giving the resorts a top up through until Friday which will hopefully add to the snow level.

As you can see the snow depth is on the decline, but ive added the last seasons graph just so you can see the difference.
