Let it snow

Who said "let it snow".

Nice dump of snow last night. Ironstone was white as I came up to work. Ben Lomond and surround seem to have a new covering as well.

Yep I drove up Mt Barrow yesterday and it was snowing fairly well with about 100mm of nice powder on the ground. Hard to see the road on top. Nice :-)

Walls of J. Friday, snowing from Trappers onwards. Minus five overnight. Saturday, snowshoes up Mt J. No snow down to Lake Ball, but trudging thru it under Mt Moriah. Zero degrees Sat night. Snow dump overnight. Snowshoes out to Herods Gate and still snowing. Snow not deep enough really for snowshoes, but they still made some of the walking easier. Would have got deeper late yesterday and overnight as there is a good cover on the Western Tiers this morning.

There was a lot of snow on Eldon Peak on Sat with a touch of snow on Murchison. I must say it's been quite a slow season for snow in Tassie this year :( :( :(
It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is much better at the top.

Plenty of it up here. You can have as much as you like, but we don't deliver . . .
