    Yeehar! As noted I'll be there with bells on. At this stage I'll have all 3 kids tagging along too. I've told them it will be cold, lots of driving and swagging it but they are so keen to see snow they'll do anything!
    Bring it on!
    Cheers, Ben.

        I'm in if the new roster allows it even if it's just for one day.

          Hope the weather improves for you guys - there's not much snow forecast for that weekend.

          This Wednesday night / Thursday morning is looking very good though.

                I have spoken to a few of the guys & made suggestions, like Erica pub Friday night, then we are on the doorstep Saturday morning.
                Beer, meals, bed, fireplace etc.
                Good idea, I'd like to get away by then, even earlier.
                Swag it Saturday night, I have a few ideas of places.
                Out late Sunday.

                Correct glen, no other snow forecast after this weekend, however I think there will still be plenty around.
                That's the thing with snow, it's really a 1 week notice thing & it can still change a bit.
                Unfortunate Ben can't make it this weekend, if we put it off till August it might not snow again, but because we are doing it now, there will be a huge dump mid August lol...... Murphy's.........
                It's that cold, I can't see it all melting.

                    G'day Mark. That sounds alright. If you give me the suburb and best route in to Melbourne I can start planning. Not a fan of cities but it will be worth it.
                    Cheers Ben.

                      Yes it changes alot. Currently 5-15cm on the Thu and Fri before your trip, plus 1-3cm on Sat - all at around 1200-1300m so that's looking pretty good actually!!

                      Btw I've just seen a photo of snow on the highway near Wangaratta today - that's only 200m in altitude! Lucky VIC'ers...

                          Cheers Ben.
                          Ben, how about 3.30pm at the united servo after the westgate bridge?
                          Western hwy, ring rd, west gate fwy, over bridge pull in on left, at servo/KFC.
                          We can pick up the eastern suburb yuppies out east?
                          Then out on the Friday afternoon car park, you will really love that, NOT.

                          I might call woods point pub & check out if they have rooms lol...... COLD.......
                          So you just want to camp out in the cold? Or need to be in snow zone?

                            3:30? Jeesh! I'll have to get up before I go to bed. If we're going to be cold we might as well be properly cold! Keen to try to find somewhere in the snow to camp. Pub Friday night sounds good but.

                            Cheers, Ben.
