Salji Masih Turun

Seperti dimaklumkan sebelum ini, Victoria khususnya dan Australia amnya kini berada di penghujung musim sejuk. Lazimnya keadaan cuacanya akan menjadi lebih baik dengan suhu harian yang semakin meningkat. Namun sehingga kini tiada sebarang tanda-tanda ke arah itu.

Berdasarkan berita semasa yang dibaca, suasana di kawasan pergunungan kini bagaikan satu pesta. Salji yang turun dalam masa 24 - 48 jam ini mencatatkan ketebalan yang mengkagumkan, sesuatu di luar jangkaan mahupun ramalan.

Begitulah kuasa Allah SWT, Tuhan Yang Maha Berkuasa lagi Maha Perkasa. Tiada peliknya.

Kepada yang berhajat untuk bermain salji nampak gayanya harapan masih ada.

Record snowfalls in Victoria's alps have set the scene for some magnificent spring skiing.

In Victoria's largest ski resort, Falls Creek, 54cm of snow has fallen in the past 24 hours, taking accumulated snowfall to 226cm this month - the best since 1992.

"The resort's natural snow depth is now a whopping 177cm," says resort spokesman Ian Talbot.

"This is now the deepest snow cover of any Victorian alpine resort and powder hounds are going to be relishing the most amazing late winter snow conditions in nearly two decades."

Mt Hotham received 47cm of fresh snow overnight - the most since 2003. It has received a total of 202cm of snowfall to date this month - the best August since 1992.

Mt Buller, the closest resort to Melbourne, received 34cm of snow in the past 24 hours and has already dubbed it "Awesome August".

Meanwhile Dinner Plain received 30cm and Lake Mountain 25cm. There was 10cm of new snow at Mt Baw Baw and Mt Buffalo.
