Long range snowfall forecaster predicts medium to heavy snow in June

With less than less than 60 days to the official start of winter at Falls Creek the proverbial question "when is it going to snow"? is now being asked.

Wangaratta-based John Moore who 'sells' his long range snowfall forecast to clients such as Falls Creek Resort Management is predicting medium to heavy snow in June, with a medium fall (Moore's definition of medium is between 16-35cms) between 8-10 June, which would be the "icing on the cake" for the start of the winter season for snow-related businesses such as Falls Creek Ski Lifts.

He's predicting the alpine resort will get a heavy dump (16-18 June) of 36cm and upwards and that June will be an Above Average Snowfall Month.
