Blackheath Weather is a free community service that produces a general forecast, including Twitter and Facebook weather updates for the Blue Mountains and Central Tablelands region during significant weather events. It can never replace professional weather services and advice.

During significant weather events, thousands of people can be using this site and its social media portals and its simply not possible for me to get back to all of you. I am typically unable to answer messages on Twitter or Facebook on 'What is the weather doing? We are thinking of coming up? Is it still snowing? Do you think it will snow later? Can you give me advice on road closures and when to come up?' etc. I will try to share these details in a general sense, as time allows.

Our Facebook page (link on main page) can have many users online during weather events, so feel free to like the page and ask the locals for more weather information on the latest posts there.

Please read the cold climate info link above as a number of the answers you are looking for, may be found amongst the links, including where to go to find snow up here.

For professional weather services and advisories/warnings, please contact the BoM or Weatherzone on the links above.

The Weatherzone Weather Brief service is provided by professional meteorologists and whilst it costs over $5 a minute, this is not so much if you want a professional forecast that can take hours to produce. Its well worth the money if you want to see some fun snow up this way.

Happy weather watching! :-)
