Heavy snowfall reported in Australia

It is reported about a powerful snowfall, which covered Australia; in such weather even kangaroos get stuck in snowdrifts. About it writes The Guardian.

For many Australian locals, in particular children, this is the first acquaintance with snow.

Due to unpreparedness for winter, more than 100 cars are stuck on snow-covered slopes.

Rescuers say that snow has fallen in record amounts – this has never been seen in these areas before.

It is winter in Australia at the moment, and snow in August is a normal phenomenon.

Specialists say that this time precipitation was a record, so in some regions people saw snow for the first time.
