Strongest cold front of 2024 to bring weekend snow, followed by potential record-breaking 'blocking high' (www.abc.net.au)

Polar air from Antarctica is surging towards south-east Australia, bringing gusty winds, showers and low-level snow. While midwinter cold outbreaks are typical, the subsequent weather is nothing short of bizarre.

I've still never seen real snow in person. I have seen fake snow once, but it's not quite the same

Make the effort to see it at least once in your life. Real snowfall is pretty magical for those of us who live in different environments.

I'd like to move to Sweden one day, that's probably the soonest I'll be seeing snow

If it's a one time thing, try and get to a village called Wengen in Switzerland around Christmas. It's a winter movie wonderland.

Mt Donna Buang is a nice place to see snow.

When the snow is dry and powdery in texture it's pretty cool. But it's one of those things where you see it once you don't need to see it again.
