Well and truly winter

An icy SW wind, snow in the Alps, time to put on the sweaters, leather jacket and longjohns.

The air temperature drops 1 C for every 100 metres rise in altitude.  Falls Creek village is at 1600 metres (multiply by 3 and add 10% to the result to get the altitude in feet), so it'll be roughly 16 C colder than Melbourne, which is currently 13C.

Pic shows snow falling last night in Falls Creek, NE Victoria; and brumbies (wild horses) near Falls Creek.
