[@macca462]

Glad you mentioned us cane toads getting some snow on occasion too! great vid mate!

[@02bigkev]

Thank you, just some interesting facts.

[@TriumphRascal]

Very interesting Kev, we learn something every day. Nice to see the roads are clear of snow so you can get out on that lovely bike of yours.

[@02bigkev]

They were only clear to ride around most of the town, It is a lovely bike, soon to have floorboards put on.

[@irishrover63]

Being a skier and boarder I did know you had ski resorts in Australia, a few professional guys from here used to go there to train in the summer months. I was surprised to hear it had the oldest ski club though. I do like snow scapes gives a place such a clean look. Most folk when they think of Australia imagine all year round sun and surf. I for one need seasons.

[@02bigkev]

The good thing about where I live is I get all the seasons (sometimes in the same day). I used to ski and limited time boarding until I got a little overweight and old. I do love the cooler climate where I live. Thanks for watching. RSM8

[@fwmn6174]

Great look over the area :) When we lived in the Northern tablelands we often got a light sprinkling of snow, nothing like that. I've heard it's nice down that way in the summer as well.

[@02bigkev]

At night in the summer its cool enough for a doona. Days are great, the hottest it gets is 30 deg no humidity just march flies and European wasps...lol RSM8

[@fwmn6174]

+02bigkev that just sounds just like my perfect summer !! I miss the Northern Tablelands Summer's but not the winters !!

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Interesting that it snowed in all your states. Coldest temperature ever recorded in Canada was -63c in Snag Yukon. As I get older, I find it harder to deal with very cold winters. Ride safe mate.

[@02bigkev]

That's a teeth chattering cold temp. I know how you feel with getting older and the cold. RS2M8

[@BikesDrones]

Snow kidding Kev. Some cool fun facts. I did two seasons at Falls Creek in my youth and had a ball. Hope you have a great season ahead.

[@02bigkev]

Perisher is very good. Not too much of a stretch.

[@AshwinAyyagari]

I literally thought that it only snows in Falls Creek and mt Hotham. But seeing that it also snows in other places in Aus is pretty interesting!

[@02bigkev]

Its interesting this country we live in. RSM8

[@xaj1543]

You are right when you say more snow than Switzerland, but it is more snow by area. I doubt the snow by volume would be greater.

[@02bigkev]

I'm not 100%sure either , just what I read on Google. thx for watching.

[@WheelsNotHeels]

Looked cold but very pretty! You're right...it's hard to imagine this much snow in Australia! Wow...more than the Swiss Alps...didn't know that!

[@02bigkev]

Yeah it surprised me as well when I found out about the amount of snow we get. RSM8

[@caba.vrc1]

Go to thredbo in August more snowwwww

[@caba.vrc1]

We can get up to a meter of snow some years!

[@iSlanderEST]

Do they use salt on the roads there too?

[@02bigkev]

Yes they do put salt and grit on the roads here, not a lot, but when the ice forms on the road.

[@azdesertdog]

Very cool. Great bit of information. I saw all the snow I needed on the east coast but it is fun to see on KZbin ;-)

[@02bigkev]

Sometimes its the way i'd like to see snow ....on YT. RSM8

[@WEGGYZZR]

Interesting facts Kev mate.... A world of various climates ....what a country hey! Ride safe fella!

[@02bigkev]

Hey Weggy, I hope you're enjoying the summer mate. we do have a lot of different climates here. thanks for watching RSM8

[@WEGGYZZR]

+02bigkev We haven't had a summer mate....it's been a washout for months now..saying that we are in for a mini heatwave over hear so long may it last Kev.....Time to get the big zx out of the stable as I've only been using the xj6..... STICKY ROADS ARE WHAT I WANT AT THE MOMENT...

[@WEGGYZZR]

+WEGGY zx12r Over here that was meant to read lol... Stay safe mate!

[@02bigkev]

WEGGY zx12r Get that beast out and ride...........lol

[@SkeggyCruiser]

Nice video Kevm great facts, it's so easy to forget that your winter is our summer and vice versa, RSM8.

[@02bigkev]

yep, I can always tell when the weather over there is warming up. All the ride out vids and meet ups. RSM8

[@katsugi183]

Thank you for sharing ^^ Looks like a very interesting place to visit

[@02bigkev]

Thanks Keith.

[@sjbaliyt]

interesting fact, i had no clue! Cold AF but the scenery is stunning !

[@02bigkev]

It is a little chill....lol when the snow is fresh and the sun out it does make for good scenery. RSM8

[@artistben7]

Great video Mate. Big Gaz sent me over.👍👍👍👍👍

[@outie555]

the misses and I are a bit jealous of all that snow! thank you for that video. when does the snow season end? We might plan a trip down there this year or maybe next year.

[@02bigkev]

officially the snow season starts at long weekend in June until the long weekend in October, but if you want snow , July and August are the prime time.

[@SoopaBee]

What?! I never knew it snowed in Oz! Man I learn something new every day!

[@02bigkev]

We are always learning something about this wonderful planet. thanks for watching. RSM8

[@SoopaBee]

Christmas in July...I love it!

[@LenScapoff]

The slopes on the roofs on the houses look unusual - are they designed that way to shed snow?

[@02bigkev]

Yes, if there were gutters the snow would rip them off. Sometimes over a foot of snow on the roofs.

[@nwroadrat]

Some neat stuff that I rarely get to see.

[@02bigkev]

Your lucky, not good to ride in...lol RSM8

[@JustTex]

Still looks cold to me . Nice burnout at the end there kev. Cheers

[@02bigkev]

It is still very cold. Got stuck on the ice for the burnout...lol RSM8

[@CaptainCrankyMotovlogger]

Well! Some very interesting facts mate, and a few surprises. All I can say is - I HATE the stuff!! Too many winters in the UK where it's a few months worth and it turns to horrible, dirty, cold slush, lol. RSM8.

[@02bigkev]

I think any winter in the UK would put you off, all the vids I see over there is wet and cold. RSM8

[@MrAusadventure]

It snows in Australia? Who knew? :-p Great facts Kev! I had no idea about many of those facts.

[@02bigkev]

they surprised me too.

[@britex3186]

I loved the Snowy Mountains. Very different than the US. One of my favorite movies was Man from Snowy River.

[@02bigkev]

The man from snowy river was shot at Mansfield in Victoria, great movie. I like the climate here. RSM8

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

I have never seen snow in WA lol maybe down south it does !

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

Do you remember an Aussie couple got trapped by an avalanche in Thredbo where 18 people died? A man and his wife were trapped but his wife didn't survive :( it was one of the saddest news in the snowy mountains. The Rescuers were a bunch of chicken shit disgraceful scums that didn't rescue them for days. His wife would have survived if those scums weren't so scared of dying - i was so frustrated watching the news ! If that happened in other countries his wife would have survived.

[@noahemail0339]

Harley Breakout Guy that’s a sad story :(

[@pjkal1350]

I never felt snow or get to play with it cuz I live my 4 years in sg and I am living my 1 year in nep T^T no snow in Singapore Nor Nepal

[@02bigkev]

I know there is not much snow in Singapore,..lol thx for watching.

[@StevesHornet900]

....how do they keep the roads clear...do they use the dreaded SALT over there too?! My front brakes seized due to not thoroughly washing the salty gunk off....but I thought there might be something different used over there...like blokes with shovels, or snow blowers...?!

[@02bigkev]

We have snow blowers, shovels and the roads are cleared with a truck and a blade, it pushes it to the side. we do use salt and grit on some of the roads but not many, not the amount of salt you have over there. RSM8

[@wyvernbiker]

It really got that cold?

[@02bigkev]

It only got down to minus 10 last year here in Cabramurra.

[@dawnrobb8809]

I knew it snowed in Australia but still neat to hear the info & see it but i wouldn't want to live in it anymore

[@02bigkev]

Its not good to ride in but I do prefer the cooler climate. RSM8

[@GurrasGarage]

Looks pretty! Ahh those Norwegians got homesick i guess :)

[@02bigkev]

They must have been a little homesick, We don't get the snow like you do....lol RSM8

[@volgnit]

Snow chains on a Triumph. That'd be a first. Lol !

[@02bigkev]

the only time I get on the ice and the back wheel just spun.....lol

[@MrFalloffalot]

You need a set of those Ice Racing tyres (Spiked). or one of these - s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/df/c7/97/dfc7975d45f57fa53f1d1d68dd681ccc.jpg Downside of our snow in Aus, it's very Wet n Sloppy compared to NZ etc. No 'powder' here... TFS Kev, RSOT >:)

[@02bigkev]

Id like one of them bikes....lol. yeah we have warm snow, we do get a bit of powder now and again but not much.. RSM8

[@suznet]
