When you're out somewhere in the bush and it snows, you get to see just how much wildlife there is. There's tracks everywhere. It's ace.

The overwhelming majority of Australia never sees any snowfall, and a lot of the Alps see snowfall year round.

For the record: WA snow http://www.feargod.net/wa-snow1.php
emanresuesoohc
Occasionally? We legit had an eight month winter and it snowed about 5 times in fbaf period.
emanresuesoohc
That period alone.
thehoesenone
I think we can take WA out of that list, a little bit of snow on top of a hill in Albany two days a year doesn't really count
NoUserNamesLeftToChooseFrom
It’s more often than that and there are two mountain ranges that get snow. Porongarups occasionally and Stirling’s several times a year
MrWindBiter
Only at ski resorts. Barely ever any snow otherwise
Hoenheign
So, everywhere but the NT
MrWindBiter
That’s not true. It doesn’t snow anywhere really but on top of mountains. I’m allowed to say this, I’ve lived in Victoria my whole life.
AliBarber
Snowed in the lowlands of Western QLD this time last year.
MrWindBiter
Queensland!? It’s like a sauna up there ? That’s really interesting

Snows in Belgrave area pretty regularly. It’s hilly but I wouldn’t call the Dandenongs a mountain

Very true. I know it snowed there last year...? Pretty sure that was rare as well. Maybe I’m wrong

Where in Western Australia does it snow? I have hear of it snowing once on one of the bluffs near albany but that is it.

Porongarups occasionally but each year it snows on most of the peaks of the Stirling Ranges. Not just Bluff Knoll.

We have greater annual snow cover (by area) than Switzerland apparently.
kaitlynbutwiththeromannumeralsVIII
Mainly because the snow here is replenished each year whilst the majority of it in the Swiss alps is there year round

It helps that Australia is nearly 200 times bigger than Switzerland.

Not really at sea level, maybe Hobart, but it was snowing down to 400 metres this weekend.

We’re lucky to get snow to 500m at the moment. I’m 30m above sea and it NEVER snows at my house and ITS NOT FAIR

In Hobart, that is. Sorry. Context is important.

I wasn’t sure if it snowed in actual Hobart. I’m surprised it doesn’t.

It has in the past, but it doesn’t normally get down that low. Kunyani (mount wellington) is currently covered in snow though.
