Cold and snowy in Tasmania
 |
| Rainfall for the 24 hours to 9am |
Heavy rain continued in an area around the NSW Snowy Mountains overnight, while widespread storms gave good falls to much of the state's centre and south. Tumbarumba, just west of the Kosciuszko National Park recorded it's wettest August day in 111 years of record when 61mm was measured in the gauge at 9 this morning, 52mm falling in the 18 hours since 3pm yesterday. Other heavy falls are listed below. Snowy Mountains ski resorts reported continuing snow overnight and through today, with blizzard conditions on the Main Range as strong winds developed during the morning with the passage of a cold front. Charlotte Pass reported 174cm snow depth at 9am, with snow conditions generally regarded as the best in 5 years. Strong winds, occasionally gale force, continued over southeastern NSW in the wake of the cold front.
In Tasmania, the cold dry post-frontal southwesterly stream brought light snow down to the 500m level, with sleet and a 3pm temperature of only 5° reported from Geeveston near the southeastern coastline. Atop Mount Wellington at 6pm, the temperature was -4 with the wind averaging 104km/h.
