Feb 2nd 2015, wintry showers during afternoon then moderate snow for an hour that gave a full covering...2cm...by nightfall but by morning most of it had melted, before that the previous covering of around 4cm was in March 2013 and that only lasted 2 days here on the east coast...pretty poor...

The thing is that before 2010 even in the worst winters we used to often get a get potent northerly which brought 10cm of snow or more so dustings of 1-2cm are considered very poor. I guess it is just different expectations up here. 

Around this date locally four years ago we had a 3 to 4 inch fall of snow.

three weeks ago on sunday before that March 2013

I believe the date was the 20th January, a Sunday, 2013 which was gone by lunchtime the following day & I've not seen any settle since.

Last snow here was 30/1/16 , it caused treacherous road conditions resulting in some of the steeper roads being blocked by stuck cars.

The police were forced to close some of the roads as they were impassable in 2WD cars. Twas nice while it lasted, all gone the next day.
