Snowfall was last reported in the Sydney City area in 1836, while a fall of graupel, or soft hail, mistaken by many for snow, in July 2008, has raised the possibility that the 1836 event was not snow, either.
Snefald blev sidst rapporteret i Sydney City i 1836, men en byge af graupel (blød hagl), som mange troede var sne, i juli 2008, har øget muligheden for, at det heller ikke var sne, der faldt i 1836.
