A Bit of Snow on kunanyi/Mt Wellington

[whynotwalk]

'Tis a chilly morning in beautiful Hobart. We Hobartians reckon that if it's cold, you may as well have something to show for it When I left for work it was 1.5 degrees C, and the mountain was a picture ... so I snapped this.

So - winter has started?

It started when it usually does - approximately mid-March.

Are you a native Taswegian NNW? This is very early in the year for snow.

[north-north-west]

No, I'm a native Tasmanian. Born, raised, learnt to drive and then buggered off to the Mainland for far too long.

Meh, I've had snow on New Year's on at least three separate trips. It's never 'early' for the white stuff down here.

[Strider]

Yeah of course it can happen any time of year, but the big dumps usually don't kick in until at least July.

Heaps of snow about today! My thermometer never went above 5 degrees today down the Huon. I went for a drive up Hartz Mtns and it was covered!

[Tortoise]

I vaguely remember May being the usual month for the first Big dump of snow. Can you find any info on that, icefest?
Or anybody else, for that matter.

[Scottyk]

Our climate and weather is so variable that it really isn't possible to say this month or that month for the first bug dump of snow.
May would get less snow fall on average than July but that doesn't mean much.
It really is bit a moot point.

This topic goes back to March 2012,
So hopefully as it gets added to,
Over the years it will provide a picture as to the first big dump for the year, etc.
Usually when Cradle & the Plateau get a good dump of snow so does Mt Wellington.
