    Snow Chasing

    Anyone going to chase the Snow this year ?? Because if your in Blue Mountains to Oberon its snowing now according to Alpine & Snow - Weatherzone Forums

    O-D and I chased the snow up Barrington last year with great results using this forum and by the weather charts/guru's Barrington tops will have snow tonite and over the next couple of nights,pity we have to work till friday lunch.

    So it looks like a trip to Barrington over the weekend, if we get there will post some pics.

    I will be in my D2 and O-D in his mad as Jeepasaurus, we get away with the kids 4 in total between us.

    Last year when snow was falling at Barrington there were a total of 3 cars on the mountain, The Ranger, O-D and me it was unreal.

    We dont have chains and try to avoid the ice, but may have to get some in the future.

    Yep, Snowmi the guy who took it posted that the snow had just eased and fog had just rolled in, he is at about 1200mtrs ABSL.

    We were down to 700m yesterday morning. Last report was 1500m late this arvo, but you can still see the snow from the Hume Weir on the way to work.

    Over night temps here have hovered around 0; but Falls Creek was at -7 this morning!


    Cheers
    Chris

    Snow in the Blue Mtns rarely lasts the day out I'm afraid. The highway at Lithgow was cut a few nights ago but only for a few hours.
