Saturday 8th August 2020, 07:30hrs: Some lower level snowfall (800m+) was forecast for this morning, but it is yet to eventuate, only light flurries to 1600m in the Main Range and 1100m in the Craigieburn so far; so now seems doubtful. Many routes are still mixed at altitude (loose rocks embedded in loose snow). Surface snow is Spring-like, slushy on a harder crystalline base; bonding is poor on slopes 40º+ (south is worse).
|
07/08/2020 12:30hrs: Some lower level snowfall (800m+) likely early tomorrow morning, but not much. Many routes are still mixed at altitude (loose rocks embedded in loose snow). Surface snow is Spring-like, slushy on a harder crystalline base; bonding is poor on slopes 40º+ (south is worse).
|
05/08/2020 18:15hrs: We had our one fine day in paradise (very Spring like); clouds are building in the west now and rain is expected to develop overnight. Winter continues to be elusive; snowpack is about half of what would be normal for this time of year, though southern aspects look a little more full. Many routes are still mixed at altitude (loose rocks embedded in loose snow). Surface snow is Spring-like, slushy on a harder crystalline base; bonding is poor on slopes 40º+ (south is worse).
|
01/08/2020 07:28hrs: Warm conditions continue; rainfall, so far, has been a non-event, with only light drizzle, cloudiness, and galeforce NW winds for past few days. It would appear a similar weather pattern is likely for the next 5 days - lowest forecast snow is 1600m on Monday. Snowpack is softening in the unseasonally warm temperatures, though surface ice has been reported on northern aspects.
|
28/07/2020 17:34hrs: Incoming drizzle/rain for several days (variable intensities; greater quantity on Sunday/Monday ), with exceptionally high freezing levels; expect snowpack to slowly load up with moisture, high level snow (1700m+) may find its way downhill in wet sluffs by Monday. There is a impenetrable buried crust in the pack on many aspects reported by several climbers, so slope failures are conceivable later in this storm-cycle.
