Best snow we have seen for quite some time here in Ballarat, i reckon if it is going to be cold and miserable it might as well be pretty and snow.

It's interesting to note, I had just got off the phone with Michael at Bintel to order an Astronomiks IR/UV Filter when it started snowing.

Geez, the weather Gods are fast!!! The filter won't be here for a day ot two and they are already poo-pooing on my parade

We haven't got it yet...

It's cold, but relatively clear skies ATM... it was cloudier earlier on, but I think it was just a minor band of cloud before the main event...

Yep. It's starting to rain, and with the temp falling very quickly the forecast is that should turn to snow after 9 tonight

Snow forecast for tomorrow and a top of 5

No not global warming. It's obviously the next ice age which is 2000 years overdue

It's currently 6.8 degrees and dropping and the rain has just arrived as well.

It should be an interesting ride to work tomorrow if the snow arrives.

Cheers

It's 1C in Oberon ATM with light cloud. I'm sure it's warmed up since I was out photographing the moon, venus and saturn.

Hey Al.

It's funny how often it feels like it gets warmer just before it snows.

I have noticed this on a number of occasions, especially when I was living in London.

Yes, I've noticed it myself! I've always put it down to less humidity in the air so it's a better insulator. I don't know if that's fact or not... just my theory!
