Summer Snow falls on NSW towns

Summer holidaymakers could be forgiven for thinking winter has come a few months early, with a cold snap bringing a light dusting of snow to some parts of NSW.
Southern NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia were hit by an unseasonable cold front on Monday, with temperatures plummeting to near zero in the Snowy Mountains.
Towns such as Thredbo, and Cooma in the NSW Southern Tablelands, reported a brief flurry of snow on Monday morning, Bureau of Meteorology Duty forecaster Jane Golding said.
'We had falls in the Snowies and down to about 900 metres above sea level,' Ms Golding told AAP.
'We had a cold front and it brought a lot of cold, dry air with it, and also thunderstorms. The origin of (the front) looks like it was well south in the southern ocean.'
Ms Golding said summer snow was a rare occurrence in towns such as Cooma.
'In Cooma, records began there in 1973 and we've never had any observations of snow there in December, January and February,' she said.
'They generally get five days of snow (per year), so it is unusual any time of year to snow in Cooma.'
