3.4C here now, just dipped under a weak coldie. I'm less worried about the relatively mild temps now and more interested in sitting under the better coldies. Bring 'em on.

Greg

The BMCC site is pretty much line ball with my backyard weather station during the night and very close with rain fall figures.

Simon

Greg, I think in night time conditions with some wind it would produce similar temps to a well-exposed screen thermometer. I'm a bit less sure about its wind direction currently showing northerly. I doubt that's right.

Very Heavy shower here just now outside of Bathurst. Plenty of small hail included.
It's now just steady rain. Temp 4 deg's, but I'm only using the car thermo.

Cargo road out of Orange is beeing closed it was reported about 20 minutes ago that millthrope was getting snow we had a shower of hail/sago go threw it is also reported that it is snowing towards bathurst the roads are with thick ice slush so be care full.

Just heard on scanner that it's snowing heavy in Oberon now.

Thanks Homer, some of those are about to arrive at Blackheath, Medlow and Katoomba. 3.2C here now before the showers drop the temp by at least 2C hopefully.

Laurier,

My backyard unit is showing the same direction as BMCC to within a couple of degrees,so fairly accurate I think.

A pic from the snowy Winter Magic day in 1995, Craigend Street Leura. Hope the BM scores a fall tonight!

Its looking good for Blackheath with the showers about to arrive. Have a look at how the radar is thickening up right near town now.

Thanks Laurier & Conquis. I am now watching it with keen interest!

Yes just got a text from family in Oberon that its been snowing heavily in town!

edit: as of 6:59pm starting to settle, and apprently out near black springs its been snowing heavily also

I can confirm this!

It is snowing heavily 10km outside of Oberon when I was heading into town!

Im currently in Obern right now having some snacks before i HEAD BACK SAFELY TO the BM and home. At the moment in Oberon it is raining for a bit

Awesome stuff here!

Wet snow/sleet here in Mudgee right now

Temps dipping again at Blackheath????

Good stuff SSC hope you are enjoying it and the higher mountain towns put on a bit of a show for you on the way back

Can't chase tonight as my husband has hurt his back otherwise we would be out there for sure so enjoying watching the action coming in via Weatherzone & tuning into Bathurst scan.

Settling nicely here in Meadow Flat. Will assume it's twice as heavy at Yetholme so the highway might be in a bit of trouble shortly

Snow at the Rocks out of bathurst roads are very slippery still falling.

Millthorpe to Bathurst heavy snow on rds visability a few metres

Disappointing here, some soggy flakes for sure but just sleet. Fractionally to my north, it may be snowing in that nice instability but not here. Missed by that much as Agent 86 would say.
