Remember yesterday I mentioned that they predicted today to be somewhat wintery. They were right.
We had a rain shower in the morning, but at lunchtime another storm came through with wind and lots of small hail. In about a quarter of an hour the temperature dropped 8 degrees. At 1.30pm it was 12 degrees. At a quarter to two it was 4 degrees!!!!!
In Orange it was MINUS 1.5 degrees. Yes, on the surrounding hills there was snow! Remember it is only a few weeks since we had temperatures into the 30s with higher than average temperatures during March.
I took this photo as I left work this afternoon. It doesn’t do it justice. The sky was inky black with a double rainbow. There is snow in them there clouds.
Fortunately, the forecast is for the temperature to be back in the low 20s later in the week, so I won’t pack all the summer tops away just yet.

was cool enough here but thankfully the brreze was from the west not the south......today the wind will be cooler as the wind comes from the south........supposed to get to 20 today........got to that briefly yesterday.................
Rather chilly here too, we lit the fire last night for the first time this season. Good quilting weather.
I read your post on Monday and thought yippee. My husband and I are travelling down from the Clarence Valley to Canberra via Coonabarabran and Oberon to visit rellies and friends. I'm so looking forward to the cool weather, I'll get to wear a winter coat. Thank you for your photos because we are now going to put Hill End in the trip to it looks beautiful
