Boy that is a cold airmass - SE Aust certainly needs some of that to get the skiers happy. Been next to no snow this year.

Sounding for Invercargill attached later in the day. No wonder snow fell to sea level !

Michael,

I enjoy it when snow starts later than earlier - then we might have a terrific season. But I guess the ski season has officially begun with this long weekend:)
