Thank you everyone.... another misconception bites the dust. For the record, the UK's lowest recorded temperature was at Braemar in the Scottish Highlands at -27.2c in January 1982 and the warmest was 37.1c at Cheltenham, Gloucester, in August 1990 but these are quite extreme as the UK has a maritime climate (warm Atlantic affected by the Gulf Stream) never too warm and never too cold [for us Brits, anyway (: ] By British standards 10c is mild and 25c is hot! Summertimes in the UK can have temperatures as low as 12c in a northerly airstream and some of the more northern islands struggle to get beyond 12 or 13c all year!

The front passed early this morning with a few distant rumbles (I was not going to get out of my bed!). At 8.30am central time we have fast moving stratocu coming from the west with the occasional sunlit big cu visible in the breaks. Forecast has winds swinging to the SW as we get into the cold stuff with thunder and small hail. I make it 8degrees at present. Maybe soon I'll get my chance to snap those cold air anvils!

About normal for here. Light frost. I call them metal frosts, as corrugated roofs and cars get plenty of ice but not the heavy frosts on the ground we get regularly in July/August. I think I recorded our first frost this year on the 29th of March, only very light though as it was 3.5 degrees.

Very interesting reading the comments on aussie weather. May I ask if anyone has access to equipment able to record fluctuations in the earths electric and magnetic fields. These are in a state of constant change and it's possible that our weather patterns are linked here somehow. Any comments on this? fyi several (ground) springs in rural areas of mid S.A. opened up and began flowing again several weeks ago prior to rains. Why? And what caused it?

The buildings still have a little hail piled up in the gutters like snow. It came on suddenly, with strong gusty wind and large rain drops. The stones were small (2mm or so) and mostly washed away without collecting. I don't know much theory, but I noticed that the 850hPa temperature over Adelaide was expected to be 0 by sometime Sunday. I'd guess this has something to do with the hail I've just obsereved. Cheers, Jason.

OK not flooding stuff, but more than we've been used to getting in recent months. Cold too - only about 7 degrees C at present. Snowing on the back country, which is good news for the ski-fields. It looks interesting over in Oz. That cut-off low and cold outbreak looks suspiciously like a situation which I heard happened in June 1981, when rare snow fell in parts of SA and Victoria. Interestingly Tasmania looks like it's escaping much of the cold and snow. After this cold air leaves Oz, NZ looks as if it's going to get a taste. Not according to MetService, though - they just speak of a couple of brief cold southerly changes and showers. However, I've just been on the phone to the Head of Blue Skies Weather (an alternative forecasting agency, based in Christchurch), and he predicts the cold outbreak to possibly be the most extreme for 50 years!.

And you can infer from any AWS obs that if the temp is less than 2 degrees and there's precip reported, that it's likely to be falling as snow. Both the synoptic and AWS obs reports are updated hourly about 20 past the hour, though, of course, the more detailed synoptic reports only come in 3-hourly. Anyone thinking of heading for the Blue Mountains should look for Katoomba's obs at 3am and 6am (unless the observer decides to stay in bed), and Mount Boyce AWS. For observer reports of snow, you need to know the codes for present and past weather which are shown on the right side of the noteworthy synoptic reports page. The full information is at http://www.weather.org.uk/resource/wwcode.htm, but for snow you're looking for: Present weather: 70 Intermittent fall of snowflakes } slight at time 71 Continuous fall of snowflakes } of observation 72 Intermittent fall of snowflakes } moderate at time 73 Continuous fall of snowflakes } of observation 74 Intermittent fall of snowflakes } heavy at time 75 Continuous fall of snowflakes } of observation 76 Diamond dust (with or without fog) 77 Snow grains (with or without fog) 78 Isolated star-like snow crystals (with or without fog) 79 Ice pellets 83 Shower(s) of rain and snow mixed, slight 84 Shower(s) of rain and snow mixed, moderate or heavy 85 Snow shower(s), slight 86 Snow shower(s), moderate or heavy 87 } Shower(s) of snow pellets or small hail }- slight 88 } with or without rain or rain and snow mixed }- mod/heavy 89 } Shower(s) of hail, with or without rain or }- slight 90 } rain and snow mixed, not associated with thunder }- moderate or heavy In the past weather column, 7=snow. Also nice to look at are the three-hourly visible light satpix from Dundee University at http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/pdus/JV/ -- they show whole globe, but are large and clear enough to give excellent representation of the cold air field which, on the 06z image this afternoon, extended from the central Bight into Central Western NSW and down to about 55 south.

At 4am this morning, Cherelyn (Andrew's sister) woke to very loud rain pounding the bedroom window in which she was sleeping, she soon woke me up and we sat around to listen to distant thunder. At 4.10am came a longer rumble followed by CG lightning and with thunder approx 2 secs afterwards at 4.12am another CG was observed 10 mins later and the thunder that followed was about 30 secs after it. Andrew rain gauge that he set up just before he left to go camping on Saturday night saw 21.5mm in it at 10am, and now 24hrs later off it being set up has just over 23mm. We finally had small hail probably just less than 2mm in diameter in the North Eastern Suburbs, at approx 5.20pm this evening, with 2 flashes of lightning and one rumble of thunder just prior to that.

Snowing at Blackheath, (alt = 1100m) just had a heavier flurry as I stuck my head out the door. Flakes falling in the door now. Very borderline temperature = 2.2 degrees and slowly falling. Another flurry, ah bewdiful! Snow is way too wet to settle. Is mixed with with rain. When the wind strengthens, it snows a bit more. My computer is only six feet from an open door, I can see flakes from here. It's about five degrees in this room. Stay tune for more. Repeat, way too wet for Sydney siders to come up and see it on the ground. Is melting as soon as it falls. Need another degree or two yet. Could be good by morning.

Wet snow was falling but not sticking. The temp in Canberra has been around 4 or 5 since the rain started this afternoon so there should be some nice white views on the higher ranges when visibility improves. I am tempted to try some X-C skiing tomorrow depending on what may fall tonight. Precipitation amounts don't seem to be that high in the mountains so far and I have only received 4mm at Higgins to 10.00pm. So it may be a little while yet before skiing is a possibility (other than on the main range which I anticipate to be somewhat antarctic tomorrow and I'm not that keen!!).

It's for the "double vortex" structure - one with a "dual rotation," one vortex rotates clockwise, the other anti-clockwise. It's for the US - but you could reverse the order in what they say....and when you do, you get that if the clockwise rotation is stronger, it induces thunderstorm movement to the left, and if the anticlockwise rotation is stronger, it induces thunderstorm movement to the right. This is for a westerly jetstream. The clockwise rotation is your updraft, anti-clockwise is your downdraft. One interesting observation that always seems to be made with supercells, is they move in a direction different then that to other thunderstorms in the area. I was thinking that, in order for a supercell to sustain itself, the updrafts would have to be equal to, or greater than the downdrafts in order to sustain itself. So, if the cyclonic updraft were stronger then the anti-cyclonic downdraft, then it would indicate thunderstorm movement slightly to the left. Now - a lot of storms in SE QLD/NE NSW move SW to NE, supercells tend to move NNE to N'ly (and can sometimes propogate slightly W) - this is in line with the explanation of the movement of supercells. The Sydney supercell also took a NNE path, instead of a NE'ly path - another example. I'd be interested to see if anyone had any thoughts on this?

I have seen almost non-stop lightning from Cu over the ocean during a west wind. As for snow chasing tomorrow, I doubt I can do the Bells Line, but will go towards Goulburn / Taralga of anything looks tempting, I think Tuesday early AM may be a better bet, it just is not cold enough yet in Wollongong and I can't see it cold enough by tomorrow, hope I am wrong.
