It looks like the weather has turned against us today with rain overnight. The web cams don't look promising at this stage. Another degree or two colder and we would have had a nice drop of snow.

The situation as it stands is this.......Massive east coast lows are picking up large amounts of water. Now in winter that is a great thing normally but as we have just come through an El Nino event the oceans to the north are still warm.....as it gets into a battle with the cold air from the southern ocean we just hope that the cold fronts are strong enough to win and muscle the warm air away. Be patient because as we get deeper into winter the temps will drop and we can expect large dumps of the white stuff to keep us all happy.
