On October 7 2009 Jindabyne locals woke to snowstorm more akin to a August or July mid-winter storm than the middle of October. It was the most snow that had fallen in Jindabyne during the entire 2009 winter and the snow continued heavily throughout the early morning. The road to Thredbo was even closed and until around lunch time when the sun parted and the snow started to melt, Jindabyne looked more like Scandinavian outpost in the far North.
