Well, we're a very small country but with diverse relief. So, above 1500 m altitude it'often snowing and in the mountains above 2000 m altitude it stays for about five or six months. But here in this town... it might be gone tomorrow and not show up again until the end of Winter. Or it might snow again, who knows. It has been more than a decade since it stayed for longer than a week around here.
Last week we were in a mountain close by, less than 1000 m altitude but there was enough snow remaining under the sun so that the kid could mount a sleigh and have some fun.
We have snow here in Australia but only in certain parts and my area is not one of them. It would be strange for me having to live with snow.
I was surprised that your snow is so unpredictable and inconsistent.
