Burrawang Tuesday 19 July

This calm scene at Kiama at 9AM on Tuesday morning gave no clue as to what was on the way. Within an hour  a storm front arrived with high winds and heavy rain which has given many areas more than half the average monthly rainfall for the area in one day.

In the highlands there were reports of light snow in Berrima, Bowral and Moss Vale. The snow melted as it hit the ground so there were no magical photo opportunities. the wet and windy weather is forecast to continue for the next few days. 

Burrawang Tuesday 7 June. Snow?

Juanita, the weather oracle at the Robertson Post Office says there could be snow tomorrow. I'm quietly hopeful. It's 2:30PM and strong winds make it seem much colder than 7deg. For three days cold changes have swept in from the south.

This morning there was a heavy frost causing beautiful ice patterns on the rear window of my car.

Clear blue skies and high cloud  made me think that we were in for a cold day.

The leaves of the waratah also had icy crystals.

And the Tuscan Kale was covered with an icy dust.

I've brought in mounds of fire wood to keep the fire going and charged the camera in the hope that there might be snow to photograph tomorrow.
