we've just spent the day up around Shooters
Hill, out from
Oberon. Heaps of fresh dry powder, 3 or 4 inches mostly, great for snowfights.
Went up Bell this morning just as the road was opened, very icy and slippery. Kids (big ones too) had a ball.
Apparently the GWH was closed at
Wentworth Falls due to icy conditions and cars sliding off.

Yes one of our group got a reminder of how slippery it was, spun a 60 series at about 10kph without trying.
As I was heading up in the morning there was a falcon ute loaded travelling about 2 car lengths behind me in the Humvee as I'm spraying snow and ice out at about 40k. He nearly had a heart attack when I braked to miss a bod sliding the opposite direction.
