When and where in the world does it snow?

[duiker]

It's snow season here in Australia, but when does it snow in Europe, Canada, and USA? What months does the snow season go through?

Well, in my part of the U.S. (Indiana) the weather likes to vary a lot. But most of the time it snows from November/December sometime stopping any time in January, February, or March. It's impossible to tell.

In Ireland theres absolutely no guarantee that it's going to snow any year, and less chance of the snow laying on the ground for any length of time.

here in South Carolina US it doesnt snow often at all, maybe every few years and if it does its usually at the end of january. but where my parents are from...it usually snowed from mid october to march, in Minnesota by the way.

I'd also like to mention that Torcher, while living in the same state as I, gets snow much more often than I do where I live (in Myrtle beach). He lives 2 hours more inland. I personally haven't had snow that's stuck to the ground for more than 30 seconds before melting in 7 years now.

For here it's between November (sometimes October) through February (sometime April), and I hate every minute of it..

Never had snow here, the lowest the temperature ever gets (for the most part) is around 40 degrees F, which is still well above the freezing point.

Usually snows heavily from October through May.

Toowoomba. If it should snow in Queensland, it should snow here, however we've had a mild winter compared to the rest of the last winters. I've seen real snow in between London and Scotland but it wasn't all I expected.

Tell me about the real sites of Scotland/London/Ireland like the highlanders and castles. Namely the Montgomeries. Livingstones and Walshes.

I live as west as you can be in Ireland and we only get snow every few years......I love the snow.

In Cork, Ireland... We get very little snow and it never sticks. It's always icy and never soft. It really only snows ever around late December and early January. More often than not we'd have a year without any snow.

I love the snow.

If you had my winters...

Live in New England for over a decade and a half and see how our snow loves you back... I think you'll be pleasantly suprised. :P
