Roaring gusts pouring rain rice grain hail and huge boom of thunder.
First of the day now the sun is out loving it.

Mammatus to my north, developing cumulonimbus to my west and a radar looking great with incoming bands of showers.

Now this is more like it.

Interesting afternoon and evening to follow hopefully

I remember a day back around 1993 when there was 2 inches of snow between Gisborne and Woodend (Driving faster than walking pace had you off the road). Woodend to Lancefield was all white with the only black being tree trunks, fence posts and the road. Never seen anything close to it since.
Wow, didn't know that! I've heard a few people talk about some interesting snow events around the area in the past. As JS mentioned previously, this event has got some similarities to one in 2007. I wasn't living here at the time, but I remember Woodend was a completely blanketed with snow.

Just had a pretty intense hail show come through!

Otways are shredding everything coming towards the peninsula with the west southwesterly flow. Looks intense elsewhere. Extremely jealous! We've been in blue sky most of the day!

Most of the activity has been going north & south of us so far in typical boredom zone fashion. :roll:

Going to give the dog one last walk before the next "potential" band of showers hit.

Had a hail shower here 30mins ago. The dog beat a hasty retreat to its kennel. 10c here atm. Lovely looking coldies in all directions!

Nothing but a few little sprinkles so far. The showers seem to be breaking apart just before striking

Showery day up here with hail accumulating to a patchy cover a couple of times. 3mm to add to the 7mm overnight.

Looks like a cold wet 24 hours coming up. Not totally confident about snow. We should get some, but the uppers are only just cold enough so could fizz or turn out quite well. Lots of showers so precip won’t be an issue. Temperature down to 3.7C here now so chilling nicely. The freezing level looks to be about 900 to 1000m atm, with snow falling to about 700m so not a lot about my head here :D Had reports from around Trentham and quite low on Donna Buang so creeping down the hills :D

Yeah looks to be snowing to about 700m. Saw a video of what looks like proper snow at Lyonville (near Trentham/Daylesford). Thinking Dandenong's will do well with the more southerly fetch overnight/tomorrow and likely about cold enough.
Go the bombersss!

We've had sago/ graupel which would pass as snow to the untrained eye, with quite a nice white cover for a while, but no real snow yet.

7pm water vapour sat pic showing good mid level moisture around the trough. Should be some big fat coldies when it arrives :)

Down to 3C here now with showers inbound. About cold enough now for snow here, if the showers are heavy enough.

Here a photo from this arvo at Olinda. It looks like graupel mainly (sago snow). Fine a very white, and tends to stick well to surface as it’s lighter and doesn’t bounce much.

Very frustrating with showers incoming and then breaking up to go south and north of here. 8-)
