Monday 13th July 2020, 14:37hrs: Yesterday's storm has now passed. It delivered 40- 50mm of rain to low levels. About 20 - 25cm of fresh snow fell at 1800m, though driven by NW gales this will be very variable (ridges are likely stripped and icy, and lee areas WILL have buildup of windslab.
This afternoon saw multiple Class 1 point releases were rolling off on northern, radiated slopes from 1500m+ out of rocky terrain features, and there was a storm-slab release noted on the northern aspect of Rome Ridge onto the Goldney Glacier (Alt = 1700m, Width = 200m, Crown = 0.8m, Run = valley floor). Also another jagged slab release was noted on the south face of Phipps Peak.
|
12/07/2020 07:31hrs: Currently heavy NW rain developing, severe NW gales at all levels, snowfall has lowered to about 1650m in past hour and is expected to lower to 600m by evening. It is obvious there is build-up of new snow on lee aspects about 100m below ridgeline. Clearer weather develops tomorrow.
|
10/07/2020 07:16hrs: The previous 2 days saw morning snowfall to 700m, only a few centimetres. Fine weather developing today. Snow-pack is still very variable at altitude; rainfall to high level obliterated some areas, then gales from both northwest and south have shifted loose snow about. Many routes remain mixed.
The weekend may be a bit grim weather-wise (rain).
|
07/07/2020 07:49hrs: The forecast lower level snowfalls have failed to arrive [yet]; only as low as 1450m so far, and only really a dusting at that level. 800m snowfall forecast for today, and southerly gales from tomorrow.
|
06/07/2020 09:06hrs: NW rainfall continues. Freezing levels have varied wildly throughout this storm-cycle; snow has fallen to 1700m, but subsequently been melted back by wind and rainfall. About 15cm of new snow has held at 2000m, and 10cm at 1800m, snow-pack depths vary considerably depending on aspect and exposure to wind.
Currently snowfall has lowered again to 1600m from NW; it is forecast to find 1000m later today, and 800m tomorrow when winds change southerly.
