Wot? Do not expect snow and ice, ocasionaly it may snow at booromba but rarely does it settle and ice is only when there is a frost (on the ground not cliff). and as most of the multipitch faces north it clears quickly.

For the rest of the crags you are (un)lucky if it snows once a year.

My plan of attack usualy just involves not looking at the forcast as odds on the weather will be ok seeing as it does not rain anymore. Also the weather can vary greatly at the crag to what canberra it self is getting.
