Snow in November ? AU

Had the most amazing flight today was out over lake burograng when a storm front pushed out frozen rain then heavy snow.

Weird weather had to outland at the Oakes airfield a wet high performance brick after 2.35 hours airborne with climbs of over 1000 ft per minute.

Should have taken my camera Doh

up to 3ft of snow in areas around Donner Summit.. California.. ski areas are open.. more snow expected tonight..

The last 7 years have had 5 of them with snow in the metro area somewhere! This has ranged from very light fall of snow at Scarbrough to heavy hail/snow in the hills a few years ago.

Never flown a glider in snow it was west of Sydney its summer time for the northern people.

The glider need a good tub to clean sparrow poo wings LOL

Slightly off-topic, but had the most amazing snow flight last spring. 8-10kts up in a cloud street (more like a super-highway) when - BAM - somebody turned out the lights. Heavy snow squall with pretty marginal visibility. The eeriest part was the millions of micro-turbulators causing a low frequency rumble (see JJ's 'CLUNK'. That sound was a real attention getter 'til the old cranium figured out the problem. Anyway, the strongest lift created a tunnel with thick snow trailing down either side. A truly memorable few minutes. I wonder if snow is associated with very strong lift by definition?
