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.

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.
