The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast damaging winds and heavy rainfall in parts of the state until early this afternoon, issuing a severe weather warning.
The stunning views at my Dads house, 10 minutes outside of Launceston. I have to say, I don’t usually miss little Tassie but freedom and snow sounds pretty good to me right now! ❄️🌨 #TasWeatherpic.twitter.com/t2XZOSjZUD
