Is this the face of Frog's giant?

[TVC]

Can anyone one see Frog's giant in profile?

Maybe it's a Smurf?

Or maybe it's Jesus?

The Madonna?

Michael Jackson?

You post these maps but I have no idea what they are. Can you give a bit of an explanation to them for the weather retards amongst us? In non weather nerd speak would be great!

[TVC]

I'm a vet,not a weather man. But Google comes up with some fancy photo's doesn't it?

I like the look of the dude with the long purple hair in the second image!

I've got no idea exactly what they mean, but to my uneducated mind it looks like a lot of cold air in the south Atlantic.

[SnowSnow]

mmm. look like my 2yr old cousins finger paintings to me.

[TVC]

What about the 2 eyes, nose, chin, furrowed brow, and long flowing purples locks of hair?

[tambo]

the snow pole at DP is still not white, so the giant sleeps still

[tambo]

mate, I'm giving it a good talking too every morning and every night. Sadly unco-operative is that pole at the moment...

AARRRRGGGHHHH!

[DHS]

The giant shall awaken,
and vengeance he shall seek.
Covering everything in it's path
with white flakes from valley to peak.

If you let your eyes go a little out of focus, the second guy follows you as you move around and he seems to be sporting an evil grin. :eek:

[Barcoo]

Maybe someone should climb the been stalk, that might work.

[The Frog]

Sleeping Giants are best left alone til we need them (which is the 9th of August when I arrive in Thredbo) smile.gif

[Xena]

I see a frog in the map!!!

[Legolas]

awwww too cute. First I saw the second guys evil grin, then he turned into ET!!!

[spaz]

Tambo maybe the pole needs to be danced too not spoken too.

[powderhog]

Ok, so how is this front looking now weather geeks?

AARRRRGGGHHHH! So Tambo, has there been an Improvement in that Pole, Have you tried Legs advice and danced with said pole :D

[NissTrust]

here is another view of said monster!

[powderhog]

But what does it all mean Basil?

[tambo]

just got back up the hill... (from one hill to another) and the pole is not whiter. Have fondled it coaxingly, but ... not yet!

[Farty The Snowman]

You tell that pole to get white, so help me god.............

[powderhog]

So Frog's forecast is not looking as promising now. Is there stil a chance a large dump, or have the fun police ruined it for all of us?

[Middo]

http://www.weatherzone.com.au/nsw/nw-slopes-and-plains/tamworth

WZ going for a top of 21 with snow showers for Tamworth next Wednesday. hmmmmm

[Barcoo]

graemlins/snow_alert.gif the other weather places might be uncertain (and they admit it).
I'm going with The Frog.Plus even more snow. Bring it on baby.

[TVC]

Is this the Giant 'freestyling' across the mountains on Wednesday?


http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/curiousaussie/4.png

Or is it his little brother and the giant is due to perform 10 days later?

Is it a star jump off Tasmania?

He seems to have a smile on his face smile.gif

[Barcoo]

Frog is probably reading this thinking shut up you guys, you will jinx it.

[Podlettte]

I was going to say exactly that to Powderhog - just be quiet and watch it patiently. the more you talk it up the less likely it will happen so settle!

[powderhog]

Bite me! I want snow and it had better come or I will be taking my axe to PB! tongue.gif

[Podlettte]

take it to PB and cut down some of the old lifts would you? then they'll have to hurry up on the lift part of the SSMP ;)

[The Frog]

Close your eyes and click your ski boot heals together and say..."There's no place like snow... there's no place like snow"

[smokinharry]

Well it ain't Kansas Toto....

[SnowSnow]

Stop it you've all jinxed it. It's going to rain rain rain now..... graemlins/cold.gif graemlins/cold.gif

[powderhog]

Do I need to pack my axe? :D

[The Frog]

I blame that darn pole. smile.gif

[AndDee]

The fat lady is starting to sing for the season in Victoria!

The Giant has passed out and is sleeping peacefully.

[D-Dog]

and voice drops to whisper.....
there are no snow robins about yet, and for the past 2 seasons they have been in abundance by this time...... graemlins/cold.gif

[DHS]

So Frog, I just gotta know; if you were doing a forecast today, would you be waking the giant and upgrading or letting sleeping giants lie?

[The Frog]

They chop and change everyday but todays charts indicate snow above 1600m on Tuesday. Looks like about 15cm+ up top and then some lighter falls on Wednessay. Ofcourse the way things are it could change again tomorrow....but it looks back on a little anyway.

[Swede]

A Pow day mid week will do me just fine Frog, less punters around :D

[The Frog]

Snow level could be a bit dodgy but if you stay high you may well be rewarded for your patience. The mositure is back, as you can see on the below charts. Yesterday's charts nearly gave me a heart attack when it dissappeared.

[The Frog]

I slayed the giant a couple of days ago, he wouldn't wake up.

[Nulla Dulla]

I Love giants

[AndDee]

The giant is going to run across the skifields Sunday night drop about 10-20cms and then go back into hiding.

Around his brief appearance warm days meaning the 10-20cms will basically bring us back to current snow depths.

Warmer temps after that will mean meltage.
