Cold and Snow – Now July Heat

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Headed up to the Northern Tablelands last Wednesday (15th July) to intercept some snowfalls across the region. A very large cold pool brought scattered storm clouds across NSW. Some of these managed to produce snow on higher ground between Guyra and Glen Innes. The best falls were at Ben Lomond (where I was) where snow depth got to about 6cm or more by the next morning.

All photos for the two days are here:

In contrast to the snow and cold, this week has seen widespread temperatures in the mid 20s. Looks like it will get to 25 today after 24 the past two days.

Cold Snowy and Windy for Southeast Australia

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Finally a sigficant cold front for SE Australia after a few weeks of action focusing on Southwest West Australia.

The change should see widespread snowfalls to the Alpine areas – the ski resorts have certainly been waiting for this!.

GFS tips a low off the NSW south coast which may shoot a cold pool up the ranges. We could see some decent snowfalls across the Central and possibly Northern Tablelands.

Besides the snow and rain chances, gales and severe weather warnings are featuring in SA, NSW and VIC already.

Cold Frost and Showers – Storms Europe / Colorado

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

After some frost eariler in the week, it seems the rain pattern has set back in along the coastal region. Quite cool too. The frost was a little more severe than what you would expect for early June. Great snowfalls thus far in NSW and Victoria.

Meanwhile, the season in tornado alley has really begun to fire from a hailstone perspective with some giant hailstones being reported particularly in some serious supercells in Colorado. The high county in that region really produces some nice supercells and is renound for some serious hailstorms particularly during the latter part of the tornado season. Colorado has also reported some decent tornadoes as well.

Nevertheless, the season has been particularly bad with much less tornadoes reported compared to what is anticipated at this time of the year – apparently the worst since 1996.

 

Europe has had an incredible number of storms and tornadoes reported from France Germany, Hungary and even Russia! The footage from Hungary trashing the roof is some fo the best I have ever seen on video!
