Wild weather predicted for NSW

MORE wild weather is in store for NSW, with galeforce winds and dangerous surf expected along the coast.
As ski resorts revel in the first snowfalls of the year, and bushfires burn on the south and mid-north coasts, Mother Nature has more up her sleeve.
The Bureau of Meteorology this afternoon issued a severe weather warning for the south coast, Illawarra, metropolitan, Hunter and mid-north coast forecast districts.
Those areas would experience damaging surf conditions tomorrow, with waves of more than five metres, the bureau said.
A gale warning is current for coastal waters south of Ulladulla, and a strong wind warning is in place for waters between Seal Rocks and Ulladulla.
Up to 10cm of snow fell at Perisher Blue yesterday, and resort spokesman Neil Thew said he was hoping for more snow tonight.
"The wind's turned around out of the south so who knows, we could get a bit more tonight," he said.
"The way the clouds are coming up I wouldn't be surprised. Anything can happen in the mountains."
Meanwhile, fire has burnt through more than 600 hectares of bushland in the Great Lakes area, north of Newcastle, and about 3,000 hectares in state forest land around Moruya and Bodalla on the south coast.
Rural Fire Service spokeswoman Meeka Bailey said firefighters were carrying out backburning to contain the blazes, none of which posed a threat to property.
Another small fire was burning in rugged territory near Kangaroo Valley, in the NSW southern highlands, but it was not threatening property, Ms Bailey said.
