Australian snow season begins amid El Niño fears
Australia's snow season started with 20-40cm falls in NSW and Victoria, despite El Niño fears. Webcams showed patchy snow, but resorts are using technology like snow cannons. Thredbo's GM said sales are up, and they are "pretty confident it's going to be a good season". Experts warned dry, warm conditions with El Niño could mean less snow.
