Its Snowing!!
Yes, that’s right! South eastern NSW has been hit by a big low and so its been very cold here in Canberra. It was -5 deg C the other night at my house and the Bureau of Meteorology warned that the airmass over Canberra was cold enough that if it rain it was likely to fall as snow at higher elevations. Well in the early hours of the morning today it did! OK, so it hasn’t snowed in Canberra proper but it did to the north east at Bungendore and Queanbeyan. The ABC reports falls of up to 6 inches in some places and has some nice photos on its website here. The weather has resulted in traffice chaos, a rarity in Canberra, while the rest of us are just left with grey skies, rain and ice cold winds!
