Do any parts of Australia get snow like that?

Not really. We only get snow in a couple of alpine regions and even then, not to the extent that you do. Winters in Melbourne average in the mid 50's, and even at its coldest they only get down to the mid-high 40's. The sort of winters you have are completely and totally alien to us.

This winter has been completely and totally alien to us as well. We might get one snow storm a winter with 10 inches (25.4 centimeters I think) and then a few nuisance snows. So this year has really been something. I can deal with the cold, but snow is another matter.

Helen went to Michigan after New York to visit her grandmother. Before she left she spoke to her uncle who assured he that they hadn't had any snow. What he failed to mention that his definition of 'no snow' was one foot over night instead of five!

lol! Yes, my ex who is from Upstate New York would call us Southerners (I'm in SE Pennsylvania only about 3 hours from NYC) because we couldn't handle 3 feet in one go. And that's true. We had a 3 foot blizzard in '96 that just brought the area to a complete standstill. And to make matters worse, some enterprising sort decided that since we hadn't had much snow in the previous years, that we wouldn't need this year's supply of road salt and he sold it! So we had 3 feet of snow and no way to treat the roads.

Then we walked to school uphill, barefooted everyday in that snow even in the summer!

That's one of those "granny" stories isn't it? Yikes!
