we're on about the same latitude as Kodiak, Alaska. The winter is generally very mild here because of the Gulf Stream--the mountains north of here go to 4000 feet above sea level and there is usually snow on the tops between September and May. But here in Perth it's rare to get more than an inch or two of snow! On the day I took those pictures there was no snow on the ground at Perth Airfield at all--and yet twenty miles due north it's all white.
It's an amazing place to live.
The mountains are bleak, but nowhere near as isolated as the Sierra Nevadas! They say that in all of Great Britain you're never more than 70 miles from the sea, and I bet you're never more than 25 miles from habitation.
