Here avg high in April is around 12C whereas record low is -13C so not impossible by any stretch of the imagination, but it has an impressive latitude for that to happen.

Villa Reynolds in Argentina is still more impressive,located at 33S/500m,have a record low of -14.6C(July average high of 17.4C).

Excellent list. Except, shouldn't Charlotte Pass be first here with its record low of -23C, followed Perisher Valley with its record low of −19.5C?

Or perhaps you aimed for inhabited towns?

I don't know, since Charlotte Pass isn't an inhabited place. Yes, I was including only inhabited towns.

I believe that Mount Read, Tasmania belongs in this bunch.

Mount Read is not inhabited, also, Mount Buller is colder

Yes. True.

What about Ouse? It has like 400 people in it. Its average July high is 11.7C, akin to Hobart. Though it would still feel colder than Hobart's July's due to the near-subfreezing average lows.

Yes

Much better than Hobart, apart from the maritime industry I see no reason to have a city where that is rather than Ouse
