Attention Aussies, snow has fallen in WA for the first time in almost 50 years!
The state’s southwest had more than a Good Friday, with residents waking up to record snowfall. As predicted in news.com.au’s, the Stirling Ranges have seen snow just in time for Easter — and for the first time in 49 years.
While snow this time of year is extremely rare, the Stirling Ranges have broken April records this weekend with residents enjoying the earliest recorded snow event in a calendar year in the state’s history. The last recorded fall before this time was April 20, 1970, according to Bureau of Meteorology records.The unseasonal weather has seen Perth residents snow boarding in their yards and making their way to the 1099-metre tall bluffs to get their own snaps for social media. And those who couldn’t make the trek, anticipated the traffic if they tried.
