Jonathan How, a meteorologist, is providing insights into Australia's upcoming snow season, which is facing potential challenges due to El Niño conditions. Recent reports indicate that while some initial snowfall occurred in the Victorian and New South Wales alps, with falls ranging from 20cm to 40cm, these were aided by snowmakers. The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast below-average snowfall for alpine regions this winter, a situation described as a "bad combination" that could lead to a less than ideal snow season. How's commentary is relevant as it helps the public and industry understand the potential impact of these weather patterns on tourism and winter sports in Australia.
