• The most snow produced in a single snowstorm is 4.8 metres (15.75ft) at Mt Shasta Ski Bowl, California (USA) between 13 and 19 February 1959.
• In Australia, snowfalls are common above 1,500 metres in the Alps during the winter, but there are no permanent snowfields anywhere on the continent. Light snow falls in Canberra during most years, but it rarely accumulates to more than a few centimetres.
