Aussie summer snow two days before Christmas
Anthony Sharwood, 23 December 2024


It was almost, but not quite, an Australian white Christmas as snow fell in parts of the Tasmanian, Victorian, and NSW high country on the morning of Monday, December 23.

The brief wintry burst came as a cold front whipped through Australia's southeast corner on Sunday night into Monday morning.
This was the scene about halfway up the slopes of Thredbo early on Monday morning. The resort announced the closure of its mountain bike park for the day due to "heavy snowfall".

Here's what the Monday morning light dusting looked like at Mt Baw Baw in Victoria.

I live on the southeast coast of Australia, it’s summer here. It’s 21 degrees Celsius which is about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It was 23 degrees C (73 degrees F) yesterday which isn’t that bad but it didn’t help that I was cleaning the chock coop all day in the blistering sun (the sun is a big problem here in Australia). Lugging a wheelbarrow of poop and bedding up and down a hill is bad enough, but try it in the Aussie sun. In case you haven’t noticed I love complaining about small things, it was actually pretty nice. I went for a swim after, the water was great.
