Where the snow is is in the very limited (and close to each other) parts of Oz that are our alpine region, in southeast Australia. Prior to deciding to move north to our sunny coast, that region (specifically the Snowy Mountains) was where we were considering buying some property and retiring to. It's a beautiful part of Oz, for my mind. But I'd note that, having walked many a mile down there in the National Parks, a standard warning on all hiking maps and in all information centers is the note to "wear appropriate clothing", as "snow and whiteout conditions can occur at any time of year with little warning". We have been there in January, March and November and experienced snow. This is a fair dump though, and it is quite cool down in the southern parts (& relatively cool here, compared to climate averages). But even a white winter day is highly unlikely for almost every part of Oz, including our south (unless you count torrential hail
).
We're expecting more rain for the rest of the week, I think. I'm dreaming of a dry Christmas, but I'm not liking my chances.
Cheers,
