Winter has finally arrived! As I write, we're being hit by the strongest blast of Antarctic air in 15 years according to Met forecasters. When I awoke this morning - the pictures were taken at about 7.10 am - I found a light covering of snow in our back garden. However, the system is moving slowly north and Hanging Rock - about 110 km south of here - has accumulated 20cm (c. 8 inches) of snow. It's now snowing again and the expectation is that we're in for perhaps 3cm during the day.
As a precaution, motoring authorities have closed a 110 km stretch of the New England Highway north of Bendemeer to north of Guyra where the land rises to 1400 m or more. And the maximum temperature forecast for today is 6 degrees C (43 F).
Yet, just a few days ago, we were experiencing mid-winter temperatures of 16 C (62 F) and I was riding my bike around wearing shorts.
