Residents in parts of south-east Australia may be dreaming of a white Christmas, amid an unseasonably cold start to the summer.
Snow has been falling across the alps and on the Tasmanian highlands throughout the week, though warmer weather is on the horizon. Thursday was the coldest December day in Hobart since 1964, reaching a maximum of just 11.5C, with up to 10mm of snow falling on elevations above 1,5000 metres.
