'Absolutely breathtaking': Late spring snow falls on southern Tasmania

Matthew Thomas from the Bureau of Meteorology said snow was not uncommon in Tasmania at this time of year.

"We can get [snow] at any time, it's one of the joys of being exposed to the Southern Ocean as Tasmania is," he said. "What we are seeing is an area of low pressure passing to the south of Tasmania, and that's dragged a lot of cold air from the Southern Ocean and around Antarctica back up over Tasmania.He said snow had also been sighted on kunanyi/Mount Wellington in Hobart, but that it would have been short lived.

"[There's] sleet at Ferntree, which is at 500 metres, we've had snow at Mount Wellington and at Mount Field, and on the Central Plateau, as well," said Mr Thomas. "I know the snow on Mount Wellington this morning didn't last terribly long on the ground, because the ground is actually quite warm from the recent warmer water as spring's been progressing, so we've seen the snow melt fairly quickly.

Climate alarmists can fudge the temperatures in their models and historical databases, but they can't fool nature. Water always freezes at the same temperature. Global snow and ice reveal what is really happening to earth's climate and what force truly dominates. GSM

It snowed there Christmas Day 8 years ago...

Oh that global warming , what a crisis 😂

Maybe we should all move there until the climate lies stop !

500,000 Tasmanians wake up to the fact that the climate is not rapidly warming.

It's amazing that after decades of scientific explanation, we still get people who are convinced they are smarter than everyone else asking the dumbest question: 'BuT wHaT AbOuT gLoBal WaRmInG?'

what? what happened to global warming? lol

Global warming didn't get the memo
