These are some of my favourite snow images from the Blue Mountains in 2022. It was a fairly quiet snow season for us.

With the climate warming notably across the last hundred years, our snowfalls are becoming less frequent and less deep.

Our biggest recorded fall in Blackheath NSW (1080M ASL) was around 90cm on July 4th, 1900, also 40cm on July 17th, 1965. Many decades until the 1990s, would have seen 15cm+ falls. These days a big fall is 5cm, although we had a 20cm fall in 2012 and 2015.

Still pretty though, even when light snow settles.

@blakeheathsnow some breathtaking photos! A bit late in the year for snow? Or not r3cent pics? I haven’t been in the Blue Mountains in years. I have friends there and I loved staying at the YHA in Katoomba.
