That's a lot of snow for 474 Alt !!!
My parents are very slowly making their way here from Mudgee - had to go 3/4 of the way to Newcastle to bypass the myriad snow closed roads in the central west

Must be due to global warming according to the experts. :roll:

Where are the other pics.
I see you good at building with sustainable resources. Then again not sure how sustainable snow is your way Ray. Nice snow man

I was just driving back from town a little while ago - a car coming the other way had a mini snowman built on the bonnet. Cracked me up.

Local weather conditions and climate aren't the same thing. You're talking of events on two different scales both in terms of time and areal extent.
It might be snowing in the Blue Mountains but large parts of Queensland are in drought and here in South Australia it's as cold as hell but it's also as dry as hell.

It was caused by super chilled air rushing up from Antarctica. (however that fits into the discussion)

While on the subject of Antarctica....the fact that the Antarctic ice sheet is still present means that technically the ice age that began at the start of the Pleistocene Epoch is still on-going....we're currently enjoying a shorter period warm event known as an interglacial which started around 11700 BCE. Like weather and climate glacials/interglacials are not the same as ice ages and the intervening long term warm periods.......they operate on different time scales and their areal extent is also different (glacials/ interglacials are more localised).

I tried to put these photos up on the week end but the computer was on a "go slow" so I had to wait till today.
The cold came in in two stages. The first early in the week wasn't as bad as it got by Friday. We are tucked right into the range at the bottom so to see the snow we had to go further up the road 20 odd kms and rise up another couple of hundred metres. Yeh I know it is little more than a dust but it was interesting to see and experience

Snow is snow wherever you are.
SWMBO and moved to Huntington Beach about 40 years ago. Since then and many trips to visit relatives or in-laws we have made a very important climate based decision.
Whenever we see a vehicle with snow tyres, we just get on an airplane and go home.
Yes, we both have years of winter driving skills. These winter driving are nothing that we desire to use.
