iceagenow.info/2014/11/years-snowfall-days/Nice snow pics. Glad I live in a hottish climate. It occurs to me that it would be hard to imagine a more efficient method of ultra rapid lake water cooling than the production of "lake effect" snow. Extremely cold and dry Arctic air travelling over warmish lake water would cool by both conduction and evaporation. Yep. And the stronger the wind the faster the freeze.

Ratty, please don't spoil our tourist trade. We have lots of mountains - Blue Mountains, Snowy Mountains, Grampians, Tasmanian Alps, Flinders Ranges, Hamersley Ranges.
There might even be some in Queensland, but I am finding that geographically challenging.
Some of our mountains even have snow!!
But they are not very high.

I didn't want to mention the Blue Mountains (Hills?) which were on fire when Obama made his UQ speech.

I remember some fairly impressive mountains (but not giant) just west of Sydney, also between Sydney and Canberra

Mount St Helens is part of the Cascades. Part of Mount St Helens is still in the Cascades Very impressive drive to the view point 20 miles or so through newly planted pine which had all been flattened by the eruption. If Mount Rainier does that Seattle would be a world of hurt. Its built on the lava steppes from previous eruptions.

Donner pass, which is close to me, in the Sierra Nevada Mountain is just over 7,000 ft. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donner_Pass
