On the night of 14 October, the Blue Mountains had an unexpected snowstorm. The result was around 20cm of snow which lasted well into the day of 15 October.
The more prosaic results included: plummeting temperatures, cut-off roads, downed power lines and power cuts, and thousands of snapped branches...

This year's snow effort outdid the great 2012 effort, which also happened in spring. 2013 was of course when the bushfires happened.
As if we needed more proof Australia is a land of contrasts.
