Helen, no doubt karma will rear its head one day.

We have seen snow in autumn while on our Canadian visits. Before that, we saw snow in New Zealand in September 2000 while driving on the Dessert Road - a high dessert renowned for variable weather, it seems - a bit hair-raising while driving our hire motorhome; we weren't even used to driving in snow in a car, let alone a taller vehicle.

Snow in the Australian Alps back in early January 1991 while travelling with our teenage sons, in fact the younger was not yet a teenager. Somewhere we have photographic proof of our boys in shorts and t-shirts throwing snowballs at each other.

And snow at Hanging Rock, about an hour south-east of our home here in the Small Smoke, more than once. Hanging Rock sees snowfall more winters than not.

I would love to see a wombat in snow!
