The Grasshopper

My head hurts ready todays post BUT - I am taking comfort in the following…

Well the Grasshopper hates to be wrong, but he is going out on a limb to throw up the following for September:
1.  We will get a strong, active cold front move through in the first half of September, bringing more than 20mm of rain, followed by 10 to 20cm of snow, possibly more. Confidence about 75 per cent.
2.  We’ll have more snow at Spencers Creek on September 15 than we do on September 1. Confidence about 60 per cent.
3.  The major resorts will still be going strong come closing weekend on October 3, with Spencers Creek snow depth still over 80cm. Confidence 90 per cent.

Woooo hoooo - yesterday forecast from The Grasshopper.

Snow Likelihood rating: hmmm…possible but don’t pull out the powder planks just yet
After a sunny August with hardly any snow the Grasshopper has his eye on a potentially significant rain/snow event in the middle of next week.
We’re talking eight or nine days out here, so of course this is only a ‘might be’ scenario, but there’s the possibility of a snow-bearing cold front passing over the Australian Alps mid-to-late next week.
