The snow that surprised the Northern Tablelands
Guyra Post Office
The prospect of snow on the Northern Tablelands may have felt like wishful thinking for some.
A promising weather forecast earlier in the week had seemed to have fizzled to drizzle by Friday, although weather-chasing social media identities disagreed.
When Saturday morning arrived, news quickly spread of dustings in Guyra, Ben Lomond and surrounds.
Those who travelled from other parts of the Northern Tablelands to see Guyra's winter wonderland may have been surprised to return home to find much of the region had become similarly dusted.
In Guyra, with an elevation of 1,330 metres, a dusting of snow from early in the morning grew throughout the day.
Locals and visitors alike were making the most of what was the town's best falls in years.
In Black Mountain, between Guyra and Armidale, falls were significant enough for the construction of heavy-set snowmen.
It's unclear how long the snow will stick around, but it's been a novelty while it lasts.
