For snow to fall at low levels, the air must be much cooler than usual.A cold front associated with a low-pressure system, or a trough, moving across Tasmania can transport the super-chilled Antarctic air from the south over the state.Cold fronts slope upwards with height, so they 'wedge' in under the warmer air, lifting it up. If that warmer air is moist, the water vapour condenses to form cloud.
This is why rain often accompanies a cold front. Snow can develop behind the cold front in the coolest air. Snow falling at low levels on kunanyi/Mount Wellington is not uncommon, impacting roads and residents on the mountain.It is unusual for snow to settle at sea level. However, on 15 November 2021, snow fell to sea level across parts of southern Tasmania, settling on the ground down to around 200 metres elevation in suburban Hobart.In rare situations, low-level snow can fall further north, although in south-westerly winds, northern Tasmania often remains dry, even if the air is cold enough for snow because moisture is blocked by the mountains.
In August 2020, during the same week that Liawenee set the current record for the lowest temperature in Tasmania, snow settled on the ground at Launceston.Average minimum temperatures in Tasmania during winter are comparable with temperatures in places like north-east Victoria and south-east New South Wales.At 1,755 metres above sea level, the weather station at Charlotte Pass in New South Wales, holds the current record for the lowest temperature observed in Australia, with -23.
Because Global-warming is a myth.
Global warming ?
And why are there people in Tasmania
