Re: Snow at Blackheath 2011 June
Well this is an old Post i know, but with the Weather pattern on the change for the worse, i thought that some should know we ar in for a hammering again and very soon! Watch out Melbourne ! Then its our turn! Oh Gawd!!
Apolar air mass from deep in the Southern Ocean is on a path north towards Australia and will deliver a weekend cold snap to south-east states.
The early taste of winter will send temperatures as much as eight degrees below average for May, bringing pockets of hail and thunder along with the first snowfall of the year along stretches of the ranges.
While cold weather in autumn is far from unprecedented, this weekend will bring the coldest early May weather for three years.
Coldest weather of 2023
A front, the advancing edge of the cold air, is now pushing over the Great Australian Bight and will reach Adelaide and Hobart on Friday afternoon, followed by Melbourne on Friday night.
The front will then continue its journey north-east across NSW on Saturday, causing south-east states to collectively shiver in the coldest temperatures so far of 2023.

Re: Snow at Blackheath 2011 June
Yes Vernon, forecast a bad weekend here, but not so sure.
According to the weather men it should be coming down in buckets, but we still have sunshine at 1600 hours.
Snow in Uk way back in June of 1950 if I recall, no one thought that possible.
Then in about 1979 or so it was so cold in May the Kent cricket team wore pajama's under their uniform when playing.
