Blue Mountains:The highest point of the range is 1190 metres above sea level. http://en.wikipedia....ew_South_Wales) So, 11 inches of snow are possible in the winter (for Southern Hemisphere) and not unusual in summer.
leon The pictures are very nice. Could you explain why it is quite unusual to get snow in Florence? Florence is in northern Italy. I missed this one unfortunately...but I had my 0 cm here in Athens...!
The weather in Athens (capital of Greece) this period is very cold. Last weekend it snowed in the centre of Athens, something that is really unusual here. Τhis week sleet is likely to fall.
