david12345 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 You got to be kidding. My Japanese hit the beaches around canaberra with massive carrier support in JULY. Guess what, it's snowing. huh? I went to a website to check if this is possible. http://www.myforecast.com/bin/climate.m?city=50396&metric=false According to this, under history and record monthly snowfall for July, there is a N/A, I'm guessing it hasn't snowed there. Am I wrong, or is this a bug (a costly one for me, now suprize is lost). On the bright side, I did learn that summer is winter and winter is summer in Australia!

Chargin Smith Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 In Australia, snow can fall in the mountains of Victoria, Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Tasmania. There is a regular snow season in several areas which have seasonal ski tourism industries. Sometimes snow has even been reported in the mountains of South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland though this is very rare. Snow at sea level has been recorded on mainland Australia but has happened more times in Tasmania, some of the snow at sea level has fallen in the off season like summer. Snow has fallen nearly everywhere in Tasmania, though it is rare to fall in the north coast at sea level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 From what I've researched Canberra is the city in Australia most likely to ever receive snow, granted not as much as what you would see in the Northern Hemisphere, but the surrounding area and especially the higher elevations get quite a bit of snow and some good skiing too Here are a few links to snow in the Australian South East: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skiing_in_Australia http://www.selwynsnow.com.au/templates/sel/page/page_html_standard.php?secID=68 Based on this I don't think David was far off at all in setting the weather zones for this area.

Chargin Smith Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I would not change the weather zone in Australia in the patch. The current weather zone presents an additional challenge with movement etc. that enhances the game strategy! Just saying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
