Much ado about not much snow

This afternoon, the weather got cold at about 4:00PM. and then it started to close in, from the south.
We are at 760 metres above sea level, so cold "upper atmosphere" weather patterns can produce localised snowfalls.

It did that today.
Snow was reported (on Facebook), from Goulburn, Katoomba, and Robertson, of course. ABC radio reported Alpine conditions at Lake George. Martin said he would not class it as real snow. (Fair enough). But he did see flakes falling, at Canberra.

It suddenly got dark to the south of me.

A wall of weather coming up the valley.

Hail stones blanketed the bare ground
between my Camellias.

And then it went "quiet".
I know that snow is often silent when it starts to fall.

with flash on, to illuminate snow flakes

OK you can't go skiing on this, but its a genuine snow fall.
