This is so much a land for all seasons. Note, when I say "we" have snow, it's not like it's even in this state. But given that half the country had a heatwave last week, and such things don't exactly respect state boundaries, and parts of the Australian Alps are prone to rather bad bushfires round this time of year, it's all just rather amusing.
I was in Victoria when it snowed for Christmas a couple of years ago - we went for a drive and saw it on some peaks. That seriously did my head in. But in a much nicer way than watching footage of endless stuff burning.
