Snow in NSW 3rd June 25-May-2017 At 12:00:23 AM renown7

Hi all,

Not sure if asking for snow advice on a rockclimbing forum is taboo, but here we go! Happy to accept all insults you send my way :)

I'm aware of what an absolute long-shot this is but:

I'm doing a shoot on the date in the title. Unfortunately it's the only date available due to me flying to Pakistan on the following Monday and my filmographer to Canada.

We need some snow, and looking around the place there seems to be zilch currently or forecasted.

So - does anyone know where is likely to getting the first inklings of any snowfall (either traditionally or this season), or any reliable (as they can be) long range forecasts. Or any info at all!

Need to be within 6-7 hours drive of Sydney max (ideally..). Doesn't need to be a mountain covered like in winter glory, just some form of snow covering that the filmographer can work some magic with. Ie. trudging through some snow, enough that it can be edited to look like more than it is.

Also, and an even longer shot, any where were they may be some form of ice wall, frozen waterfalls etc. Again, nothing spectacular, just enough to get some close in shots of my axes/crampons being imbedded.

I realise this the chances of this are quite low given how early it is in the season, but any information on where I can narrow my search will be greatly appreciated.

Short of this, does anyone work at a McDonalds with a cool room I can change the settings on, or have a freezer that needs defrosting ;)

Any questions fire away as I may be able to give more detail that may help.

Upon my return in August sometime I'll be happy to shout and share some beers for any assistance as payback!

Cheers
Chris
