Chill Out - The Chills On
After a spectacular thunderstorm last night there was a heavy fall of hail intermingled with rain and sleet. After a later thunderstorm and more hail the snow/sleet began to fall revealing a whitish layer over the upper slopes of Thredbo.
With snow making to begin soon, this base freeze is very timely.

Last week before the storm (note fuel tanker with a helping tow)

Lightning illuminating Thredbo valley

Snow settling on hail stones on the upper Super Trail

Upper slopes getting a taste of Winter
As for the rumour around town about a one metre dump today ... I'm still holding my breath ... but it is still snowing up high and sleeting in the village.
