Snow chase
Not having had any chasing of snow for the past couple of years, I decided to head out with family to Oberon. At daybreak, I thought, it was going to be a dud but once I saw the satpics and some clouds advancing from the southwest, I thought this was a chance. From about 8am, snow began to fall in Oberon and then nearer to 9am, it was quite heavy. The snow periods persisted for some time and we went for a drive after breakfast to see if there was more snow beyond Oberon. It seems a better cover had fallen further west and south of Oberon. Pity though that the rain band could not coincide with the cold air!

Snow showers making it through to the Mt Victoria area
The exciting part was despite the gradual warming, the snow showers seem to persist all the way through to Hapmton, Mt Victoria and also Bell. And then, stopping at Bell for the last snow shower, two fast moving objects show out of the grass! Two kangaroos we thought? And then it occurred a viscous dog was chasing one kangaroo!
Tragically, a few kilometres from Bell was a serious accident a car flipped on its roof - people were trapped inside though one person with bloody head outside - possibly due to the slippery conditions.
