Could be even more. Some pretty exciting times ahead.

Maxed out at 16.3c here today, certainly felt fresh.
Some strong wind gust too, with Nobby's having 85kmph gust.

It's a necessary evil.. In this case both planes a 744 and an A380 have very limited options when it comes to places it can land. I'm sure for safety reasons he didn't want to be to far from Sydney airport or even land.

Hi Everyone,
I have just moved to Bathurst from Lithgow and love it. Lovely town with lovely people. Looking forward to maybe a few snowflakes around here in the next few days?

Hello welcome to the WZ forums.
Monday would be the best chance for snow at Bathurst but it would be a very slim chance since Bathurst would likely not be cold enough due to its relatively low elevation. You'd have a much better chance at seeing snow with a short drive to Yetholme.

Hi Sidney, thanks for the welcome. I have been watching the forums for a while and thought it was time to join!
Yes, snow not really a good chance in Bathurst.

I understand it RG, and it would've been a difficult decision no doubt.

Yeah welcome Hugh. DaveM will be happy that another Bathurstian has signed up.

I will mirror Sidney's words and would in fact that snow in Bathurst will be a near 0% chance. But the higher parts will likely see some.

@hughjarse
guffaw he he he

Lol I didn't realise the name was a joke until much later last night.

It got quite cold last night, even with that breeze it still managed to go as low as 5.0c.

Breezy again today, although not as strong as yesterday.

Quite windy. At least the washing will dry

wonder if hughjarse is getting any wind lol

frequent gusts into the 50's here now. Nice day otherwise.

Welcome aboard Hugh.

Clear and sunny again. The wind picked up a bit some it's dropped back again.

It's warm this morning. Unless there is a cold front no one's told us about, I think we're on our way to 21-22 this afternoon.

The models look absolutely brilliant for snow on Monday night down to about 1000m with -2 at 850mb, -11 at 700mb and -31 at 500mb and a decent amount of precip so should be 3-5cm across the Oberon Plateau by Tuesday morning.

Not much wind here in Bathurst Knot. lol
Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Welcome, HughJarse.

What do people think Katoomba's chance of snow is during this event? Getting depressed here, I haven't seen a single flake this winter!

You should, at the very least, see your first flakes. The issue as usual that far east will be moisture but it should be cold enough for snow at this stage.

Welcome to our newest member from Bathurst, Hugh Jarse, there's a few from out that way.
Meanwhile temps quite mild here today, after no readings yesterday, topped just under 20C, just over the forecast.
Things looking bright by then end of next week though, up to 26C!

Warm and dry. Windy.
For once this winter the synoptic looks typical with the wind belt moved up due to high dislodging.

@Come in Donzah. Are you in the alps? Wotz happening there.
