Yes, that's the most snow the Aussie Van has seen. A dusting last year but with the current dry cold, snow is evaporating.
We did have frost in Glen Innes, New South Wales on the August/mid-winter 2011 'test drive' before the 70-day One Lap trip and frost in Tarraleah, Tasmania during the springtime trip to tour the island and attend Mini Fest in Hobart in 2013.
Since then the only snow ROO has seen was in Yosemite on the way home from MMW in San Diego after climbing up over Tioga Pass.

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.
Give a car more power and it goes faster on the straights,
make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.

We faced rain on & off, rapid melt with lots of running water and some large puddles. 2 C - 4 C overnight and at 4 C as I drove home after signing out at 4:45 am.
No new snow in Mission, our last drop off in the snowy highland. Nice & warm at 2 C.
Now some 2.5 C here in Pitt Meadows with the melt continuing...we'll see what the overnight brings.

(the rest of Canada loves to laugh at the wet coast when we have to experience actual winter, to be fair, it's because we are so smug the rest of the time)
