We have a warning in Canberra for snow over the next 1-2 hours

Did it hit last night? if it does then so stoked

It snowed in the region but not in Canberra downer it tried so hard and it flurried in the city (apparently).

I saw this morning that Nimitabel school was closed due to snow!

Nimitabel used to have a great bakery with awesome pies.

The big round about in Jindy heads toward Nimitabel (Barry Way) the route to the coast. It’s possible to surf pre-sunrise and make first lifts on the mountain, but it’s a dirt road.

Nice Spaz!

I like the camera angle too.

Doesn’t look like 50cm though (I think that’s what Perisher posted on Twitter…).

40cm at night + 10cm yesterday + 5cm yesterday evening.
There was defs 40cm on hill!
Around the valley bottom it was almost to my knee (I was walking around in sorels and jeans). In places on the hill it could be waist deep.
Note in my vid I’m continually moving with my bindings back set on a off center board.

Nothing fell today, it wasn’t like yesterday either. Early there was some nice freshies in Sun Valley but the wind was blowing and leaving the conditions scored with pockets of windblown around. It was a little firm and slow until the sun got on it. After 10:30 the snow improved and became light and faster.
