VIC: Low Pressure System: 3rd-10th September 2017

[Rivergirl]

I was in Upper Ferntree Gully at 2.10pm with blobs of frozen snow on my windscreen

[dagget]

More snow here and 3.7C, would be nice if it wasn't for that wind

Obviously sweet bugger all happening here in the boredom zone.

You're not the only one. Had two massive blobs of rain on the radar coming for a direct hit, only for them to dissipate whilst crossing the bay

Anyone ever recall of much snow down here near Tremont? I have only been living here a few years. And can say at times Upwey has been more luckier than here.

[Macedonian]

Blizzarding down up here

[BringOnTheCoolChange]

3c here now, just need some precipitation, grrr

[stevco123]

So what time is the coldest air supposed to come through?

Jane Bunn was saying on TV there are credible reports of it snowing at Rye.

Which is hard to believe, when there still isn't any snow here. Just unlucky i guess. Looking at the Bom snow map, it looks like the coldest air is at 10pm - 1am

Why is it that literally ALL the showers die before crossing over from geelong?

It is really starting to pee me off.

[BringOnTheCoolChange]

stevco i reckon the weather just doesn't like you or me haha, there is rain on the radar directly above me atm, nothing is falling out of the sky, and any thing that falls should fall as snow from now around Tremont, maybe even Upwey.

I think they're literally exhausting themselves, there's just not much moisture to go around.

The BOM were right on the money down this way, shower or two and 12c... Have had two showers and it reached 12c.

I always think there is some negative energy around me when it comes to weather. It just seems to avoid me.

We should both move to Canada and we wouldn't have this problem haha.

I wasn't here today, so may have missed a few flurries. Currently 4c, so not really cold enough, unless the shower is heavy or low humidity, as appears to have been the case today in the Dandenongs. Not much showing up on the radar at the moment, but hoping something will turn up later tonight. Had 1.9mm of rain today.

2.9C in FC and slowly dropping. Looks like a frustrating night. Showers mainly hugging the coast.

Dry air and westerlies are all too common with the coldest airmass in Melbourne. Seen so many low level snow events go like this (including the cracking events in 2014, 2005 and 1997 which were each cold enough for snow to sea level). Wouldn't write tonight off yet, but just too westerly ATM. It should slowly turn more southerly through the night, but showers look like mainly staying near the coast until morning.

Solid front tomorrow arvo will kick of lots of showers, but by then the snow level will be pushing up towards 800m.

Today's snow - it settled for half an hour or so around mid afternoon. Unfortunately the wind was blowing so hard, it only accumulated in spots. Still, it means we can at least put down 2017 as another settled snow year - so we haven't missed for a long time.

[dagget]

2.5c and snowing again, should have a bit of a chance to settle.
