Interesting picture on the Dove Lake webcam this morning.
Overnight there was a huge dump of snow.
Keep safe, warm and dry up there.

Wow!
It's been wettish down here, but not cold. No sign of snow on kunanyi (during the brief periods it was visible). They're obviously bearing the brunt of it up north. Again.

It was sleeting at Narcissus Jetty yesterday arvo after I came off the OLT, not sure how much of that hit Lake St Clair... Was *&%$#! cold though

Currently Snowing at Cradle Mountain through to Great Lake.
It will be white again in the morning.
Temperature is currently -1
Regards OLM

Update for 5th.
Dove lake car park and surrounds were dusted in white this morning
Rain washed most of the snow away from the car park , still white on the mountain.
Regards OLM

A series of cold fronts crossing the state at the moment.
Snow has settled at Great Lake and starting to settle at Dove Lake.
Regards OLM

And it's not Tshirt weather at Dove Lake this morning!

Thanks Aztec.
Good snow falls through the Central Plateau, Great Lake, also lowdown on the Western Tiers, even a dusting on Mt Roland.
Regards OLM

And it's looking pretty chilly even now...

Another good dump of snow overnight at Cradle Valley through to Great Lake.
Regards OLM

Strange to see Dove Lake and surrounds clear of snow this morning, however at nearby Great Lake it was a different story.
Southern end of the Overland track may have received some snow.
Regards OLM

Will be interesting to see if it does snow.

Snow is expected to fall in Tasmania this weekend while most of the nation swelters in a heatwave.

Nothing up the northern end of the state apart from cooler temperatures and strong winds.

Mt Mawson had some though

While the rest of the country sizzles through a heatwave, Tasmania has been experiencing snowfall.

Mount Mawson, in the Mount Field National Park, reported the summer snow via SnowSearch Australia’s webcams on Sunday.

Was up at Hartz today. Quite a bit falling, but wasn't cold enough to settle.

Started snowing at the Great Lake hotel around 5:00.
Not settling on the ground. (Facebook page)
The weather at Cradle Mountain is clagging in. (Webcam)
Thanks cams & Nuts for your reports.
Regards OLM

It was an overcoat colder. The wind, though, on CP and Middlesex Plains, would have blown the milk from one's tea/ hops from yer beer
Some reprieve from the fire threat so far this summer, that 40+c temp range/mainland must be some sort of (ominous) record?

Story from the Mercury, video of snow falling at Cradle Valley.

A nice dusting of Snow on Cradle Mountain this morning. Also on the Western Tiers through to Great Lake. Regards OLM

Snow is currently settling at the Great Lake Hotel,
so I guess the Western Tiers through to the Central Plateau, Cradle Mountain area will be white in the morning.
Certainly cold on the coast.
Keep warm
Regards OLM

Either there's snow on the lens, or there's a *&%$#! thick fog at Cradle this morning...



Hello winter!

...or both.

Both. Promising a nicer arvo though.
