Hobart’s Snow Day That Changed Everything | Sydney News
Description

Semi-trailers spun on the Midland Highway, two-wheel-drive cars stranded, and parents walked kids home from empty schools. For some, it evoked childhood memories of snowed-out birthdays. But today, such low-altitude snowfall is vanishing—meteorologists blame a warming climate, with the Bureau predicting less snow and shrinking snow cover, pushing winter magic to higher elevations.
