A decaying snow shower at Mt Macedon looking north from the summit. The shower was a very low topped feature and as the shower decayed stratocu formed near to the original top, not an unusual feature in cold air showers. The snow line was about 550m on this evening.

Orchard Mt Macedon 30/7/03

Sometimes you can be lucky with weather,  an unexpected snowfall to low levels near Woodend on 30/7/03 provided an oportunity to gain some 'special' photographs. The number of weather 'elements' in this view are remarkable. The valley shows a farm that extends to the tree line on the northern slopes of Mt Macedon central Victoria. In the bottom field the sun is shining, the middle field has rain and then a progresion to sleet and finally snow in the top field. All this in a distance of about one kilometre. In one lucky shot we see sun, rain, rainbow. sleet, snow and fog. The snow depth in the top paddock was about 3 cm - the change from snow covered fields to grass occured over a distance of about 200m and an elevation change of about 50m. The tempaerature at the bottom field was 2.1c and at the top field +0.6c .

Hidden under 2cm of snow at Mt Macedon was a layer of ice making driving a car very interesting, it appears that the surface layer of water from rain had frozen prior to the arrival of snow
