Ah well, didn't quite happen.  Only down to 5C at Mt. Crosby, which equals 
the lowest temp I have recorded so far, and no sign of frost at first 
light.  This is 2C colder than any min recorded last year from mid July 
onwards.  Probably not a great chance that we will get a colder night now, 
as winter seems to be on the wane - last Friday was the warmest day since 
April 26.

But still clear, 0/8 with light SW wind, and no sign yet of a return to the 
forecast SE regime.

John.

>snip
Hey all,

Now 10:30pm and temps already down into single figures (4C colder than at
this time last night).  Air dry, conditions clear & calm.  Looks like this
could be the coldest night this winter so far and possibly our first
frost...

John.

Good thought :-)

Um, belting, pelting, pounding, smashing, crashing, bashing, thrashing,

ripping, tearing, thumping, banging, "diveting down" - Thinking of
impact words here etc.

And maybe things like, The hail here is: cranking, trenching, carving,
and...shredding!

:-)


Rain gets the human type connotation "Pissing" for the obvious reason so
I am wondering what we can liken hail to, to extract perhaps some more
terms, and enliven our imaginations.


I was imagining hail as various things like cricket balls, marbles, golf
balls etc to get the above ones. Most of them are terms that imply some
sort of hard impact.

I was just reflecting on the borderline snow conditions up our way last
Saturday.

It was really interesting out Oberon way, watching this.

As I left Oberon - roads wet but no precip. there at 2pm Saturday - and
made my way towards Shooters Hill things suddenly changed. Very slight
sleet along the road and then 5 or so k's out of Shooters wet snow just
"appeared" as I drove up higher and then got heavier and heavier. This
was the place where I got out of the car and stood in the snow for ten
minutes allowing myself to get covered in it. It was actually the very
same place on the road that prevented me from going further in that June
chase because of the snow on the road. I only had a t-shirt, light
jumper and a turtle-necked jumper and was not cold at all. It was great
amongst the pines - I took a self-timer shot of me crouching next to a
large wombat hole here amongst some slightly deeper drift snow.


I followed the snow showers as best I could back towards Edith, a small
place on the way out to Jenolan Caves around 1080 metres, where it was
lightly sleeting and I could see the white hillsides further ahead. As I
drove on in the mud and slush, the sleet gradually became more snowy and
then when I got to the turn off to Jenolan/Kanangra Walls(just before
that steep descent) it was drifting down beautifully, absolutely no
breeze and quite large flakes fell for quite some time. About half an
inch of snow settled on the car roof. I just sat in the car there, in
between getting out to view the hills, and listened to the snow on the
roof - and read the paper. The roads are on the ridge tops so you can
get a pretty good go at following the showers around here. Definately a
great spot to snow chase when the snow is marginal.

Laurier, your Synop/AWS stuff helped me as well as Don's early
indication
of some possible developments on that day. Not to mention Mount Boyce
lookout and the low cloud that was cleary over Shooters with temps
around zero. 



Like I said, enjoyable, not unreal but very enjoyable :-)


Lindsay.

Hi Lindsay and all

Very little snow lying around on Mt Canobolas this morning (Monday).
In fact, most of it had gone by mid to late Sunday.
Some small areas of snow still visible right on the summit of Canobolas,
and more on the southern side, near Mt Towac.
Very cold conditions here overnight, but the snow should be just about
all gone by tomorrow.
No snow at all remaining below about 4000 ft.
Weather today:  Cold and sunny, light S breeze.  Temp ~5C

I rode the bike down to Shooters Hill yesterday early afternoon to see
what snow was left. Patchy covering about 1 to 3cm deep above 1200m
was all that was left. Of interest was the complete absence of
drifting of any kind, though the pine trees all still had a thin line
of snow crystals right up the western side of their trunks, even deep
in the forest; from which I deduce that the wind was very light but
not calm while the snow was falling. 

The lack of snow depth compared to previous falls indicates the
dryness of the outbreak.

Hi all, after checking the latest Cola, NGP and GASP computer models it seems we could get another cold outbreak over SE Australia on Friday and Saturday with further snowfalls down to 1000m at least. BOM forecast for Melbourne on Friday is for showers and a top of 12c. Dane.

There are some very interesting progs around for late in the week;
all of them are cold for Victoria, but they differ considerably in
how it happens.

The current GASP run is exceptionally interesting, featuring a broad
field of sub-532 air over Melbourne for at least 24 hours, and a slow-
moving low over central Australia, with associated heavy rain over 
South Australia, especially inland. I'll believe it when I see it
(and there is nothing like it on any other model yet), but if it
happened it would be a virtually unprecedented situation at this
time of year (most sites in this region have August monthly record
highs in the 60-80 mm range) - it's reminiscent of some of the
autumn systems of the late 1980's and early 1990's, such as March
1989.

Thanks for the interesting comments Ben. I particularly like the explanation
for the southward placement of anticyclones this winter. However, I wonder a
bit about the moisture one ? Sounds too much like last season. All the
moisture in the world without heat is useless. I actually prefer my chances
in a full blown El Nino year at least the storms are not swamped by large
scale cloud masses. But I hope I am wrong.

I'll wager London to a brick that the MRF model is the most likely
scenario..even though the Bureau may be hedging its bets by saying that
for Sydney there's a 'chance of showers' for Saturday-Monday, when the
(presently) hypothetical rain depression should be starting to make its
presence felt. The 'showers' would likely be due to a more normal
onshore swing ahead of the next anticyclone, regardless of the rain
depression which, if it eventuates, will presumably enhance the
'chance'...but at this time of the year? Nooooooooooooooo.

Hey Michael, Everyone..

I just had a look at the El Nino forecasts, and this is what the summary
was:

In summary, the forecast is for cold conditions to continue to
strengthen through winter1999-2000. The model is predicting relatively
strong La Niqa conditions for winter 1999-2000.

The full report can be found here:

Interesting to say the least.. although i'm not sure how good/accurate
these forecasts are..

On a slightly different note, some models are interesting at 120 and 144
hours.. i know i know, it's so far out.. but EC is doing something at
144 hours +.. and if was to take any note of a model at 144 hours, it
would be an EC forecast..

MRF also has a strong upper level system for the eastern states at 120
and 144 hours as well, which as i mentioned in a previous email this
week will more than likely be toned down over the next few days.. but
could still be a major system..
