RE: New Years Day in Country Australia
Beautiful part of the world. I lived in the Blue Mountains and spent a lot of time in the area in winter. I recommend staying there in the colder months when there's a chance of a little snow.
I'd love to come back in winter, I haven't had a lot of experience with snow. Do you reckon there'd be enough to make a snowman?
Certainly. Here's a photo back in October 2012 when I was stuck in the snow for 6 hours on the highway at Blackheath in the Blue Mountains ...
Yetholme, Sunny Corner, Oberon, Shooters Hill are all great places for snow chasing. The Snow forum on Weatherzone is a great resource for finding out when snow is likely in the Central Tablelands.
Wow, that's crazy! We'll definitely have to check it out in winter. Thanks for the tip about the website too :)
... and here's my post on Steemit https://steemit.com/travel/@atnicholson/snow-closes-blue-mountains-highway-oct-2012-devastating-bushfires-exactly-12-months-later
I didn't see this earlier, that's crazy that the roads were closed for so long. And to think that the same place is capable of having such wildly different conditions a year on!
Yep. When I was living in the mountains (it was around 2007) we had really bad bushfires. One day, I had to leave work early (in the city) and go home because a bushfire was threatening my village. The very next week, it started snowing on the bushfires. I've also been in snow in the mountains the last week of November and around Obereon in the first week of December.
