IT'S BACK. The megablizzard returns this weekend – bigger, stronger and quite possibly snowier than the blizzard earlier this week which delivered the heaviest June snowfalls of the century.
This week's first intense weather system, which we covered extensively here, has since moved east into the Tasman Sea. But incredibly, an almost identical system is upon us. It's very, very rare to have Australian winter storms of such intensity, back to back.
The black sharks fins indicate a cold front, which brings almost certain mountain snow if it crosses the south-east of Australia. As you can see, the two charts (Monday vs Saturday) are almost identical. Snow enthusiasts would be lucky to see charts so similar twice a season, let alone twice in a week. Source: NewsComAu
But look at those weather charts. Just look at them. They're like mirror images. On the left, last Monday and Tuesday's system. On the right, Saturday's forecast chart. Even if you can't read a weather map, you can see how similar these two charts are. This does not happen often. Not within the same week anyway.
If anything, this weekend's blizzard action could be a little colder, a little windier and possibly even a little snowier than the midweek system which took the official snow depth in NSW from 13.8cm to 102.1cm.
The weekly measurement at Spencer's Creek, halfway between Perisher and Thredbo, is taken by electricity generation company Snowy Hydro to predict water inflows to dams, and is therefore unaffected by resort spin doctors.
Here's Perisher's pictorial proof of the progression.

Victorian resorts of Mt Buller, Mt Hotham, Mt Baw Baw and Falls Creek also fared well this week with heavy snowfalls – and are set to score again today.

For skiers and snowboarders, the impending snowfalls have generated intense excitement, with the majority of lifts in all resorts set to open when the storm eases.

Who knows where this beer bottle will be by Monday? The bottle pics come courtesy of user "Camelot" on leading industry website ski.com.au. Camelot, we salute your enterprise. Your choice of beer isn't so shabby either.

We'll continue to update images of the megablizzard as they come in over the weekend. If you're heading to the snowfields, stay warm. And please take care on the roads with all that school holiday traffic.
