Turned showery here with fog drifting in over the trees. Icy 48 hours coming up. Hope a bit spills over into the north, though looks pretty hit and miss once you cross the divide. Just 7.6C for a min and another mm in the gauge here since yesterday.
Substantial snow producer coming up. Thinking Lake Mt and Baw Baw should see a solid cover by this time tomorrow.
Btw also a huge wave event. Significant waves forecast to exceed 11m just off the Victorian coast. This Victorian record appears to be about 12m, though such things are not well observed. Puts this one up there with big historical wave events. The tides are low this weekend which will take the edge off thing. Anyone on the coast be interested to see photos from a safe spot. I’d usually make a dash to Walkerville, but instead will be heading to Marysville as snow calls
Hazel looks like the best analogue for this cyclone, but that low ran inland. This one looks particular unusual in running a speed into the coast near Geraldton. It then take a wierd pause and drifts south before darting inland. Perth is lucky going off the current Progs as it gets remarkably close to Perth, but swings east just before
