Well, there's certainly improved snow conditions in the New South Wales snowy mountains this
00:06
week.
00:07
I'm at Perisher Resort where, as you can see behind me, the fields are blanketed in snow.
00:11
Certainly helped by that polar outbreak which developed in the sub-Antarctic region on Sunday
00:16
and has since travelled the eastern side of Australia.
00:20
We've had snow in Tasmania, snow in Victoria and New South Wales as well.
00:24
Yesterday we had flurries of snow as far north as New England in the states north.
00:30
Here in the snowy mountains there could be up to a metre of snow expected across this
00:34
week, which after a slow start to the season has been well welcomed by avid snow goers
00:39
and businesses alike.
00:41
And a great timing to coincide with the New South Wales school holidays which continue
00:46
on through this week and into this weekend as well.
00:49
So there's certainly lots of families and children around.
00:52
We caught up with a few families before they hit the slopes this morning.
00:55
Here's what they had to say.
00:56
It's cold.
00:57
Very cold.
00:58
Yeah, we had a few chats with the people in the restaurants just getting lunch and they
01:02
are just so grateful that things are improving and it's getting better.
01:05
It's great.
01:06
Yeah, it's a pity there's not more lifts open but, yeah, it would be, it's good.
01:11
They're very crowded so obviously people are enjoying it.
01:14
The conditions brought on by this polar outbreak are set to continue today and into tomorrow
01:19
morning.
01:20
Conditions should then ease before more cold weather is expected this weekend.
