As we in the northern hemisphere head into summer time, we often forget that the southern hemisphere is heading into winter. Last night at Charlotte’s pass in the Snowy Mountains, Australia a temperature of minus 13 celcious was recorded. This is the lowest temperature ever to be recorded in the Australian continent during the month of April. What happened to all the chat about global warming??

Current conditions, are -1 Celcius and an ever increasing blanket of snow covers the ground.

Another fresh batch of snow has been falling all afternoon, coupled with the freezing tempereratures all week, it didnt take long to settle, the snow fall is fairly light, but the its accumulating quite nicely so I thought I’d try a few different settings to try and capture the magic of snow at night, if any photographers can give me tips of settings for snow at night, get in touch!

A wee update, tried another couple of pics:

What an eventful morning! Much of England has ground to halt in some of the heaviest snowfalls for up to 15 years! Heathrow is shut, a plane slid of a taxi way due to the ice and snow. No public buses are running in London, and even the underground system is affected. Glasgow had a fairly light dusting of snow this morning, but at around 11.30am the heavens opened and it was blizzard like conditions big fluffy flakes took a matter of seconds to build up to about half an inch on the roads and what is probably now just over and inch on the grass and cars. Thats enough chat, onto the photos! (and a couple wee clips)



Update: After numerous heavy snowfalls, some of which cane be described as blizzards there is up to 3 inches of snow lying in some places!
