It's Cool to be Cool and it's Not when you're Hot!

Since the school holidays and public holidays have passed things are quiet in Thredbo. There appears to be more action in the northern hemisphere and the photos donated by Rosco and Traktorman come as a pleasant interlude to the weather we are experiencing right across SE Australia.

What does Rosco do on blow-down days? Take photos

And there's been some high winds around Niseko

Clowning around before heading back to continue digging the car out
see last report

Ah yes, more blow-down photos

Now, this one has come from Traktorman

And this one

And this one of Traktorwoman under a blue sky winter's day

Meanwhile, back in OZ, no snow on Summer Drift

Still lots of wild flowers out

And that standard photo of the 'hill'
No snow left here either

On Friday afternoon at 6pm my balcony thermometer read 36C. Yesterday it was only 34C but luckily it has only reached 27C inside. Up on the mountain it is more pleasant with a good breeze but the flies - oh the flies.

Cooler weather forecast next week.

Just as I completed this report I received a stack of great photos from Traktorman and more from Rosco so I hope to post another off shore reporto with more and further particulars in the coming week.
