Snow Falls in Blue Mountains, Australia, During Wintry Conditions

Snow fell in the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales, as a cold snap brought wintry conditions to southeastern Australia on August 22.

“It will be a cold and windy weekend for many parts of NSW. Some winds could be strong enough to bring down trees and powerlines,” the Bureau of Meteorology warned.
