We rarely get snow anywhere in Australia, unless you live in the highlands. Some states do however get plenty of ice and frost. Sometimes I think I'd prefer snow as it always seems warmer when it snows, than when it's very frosty.

I live in the southern most state, so will get the worst of the cold weather. We've recently moved from closer to the equator, and this will be the first winter we'll have gone through in about 15 years, because the winters in the northern states are so very mild.....rarely dropping below 60F where we lived.

Brrrrrrr! Come on spring.
