There are some place in Southern Hemisphere who can get lake effect snow? I've been looking in google earth and seen that:
Australia : Impossible since it dont have any great lake and cold waves there are mild.
New Zealand : There are a lot of considerable lakes there,but them are small and have a glacial origin,so the temperature of waters there are very cold. South America : The most likely,there are inumerous lakes on eastern parts of Patagonian Andes,in my guess,the place who has the greatest chance for lake effect snow is the General Carrera Lake,since its great and extends into Patagonia steppe,a place who can get very,very cold in winter(-25/-30C),who is sufficient,since the difference between the lake waters and air temperature are great enough to the effect.

You'd think they'd be weather proof, but no lol. It was only $2 though, nothing fancy. I'll just have to use the airport's rainfall measurements tomorrow.

Yes, yes, and the sky is blue. How many times do you have to say that South America is prone to colder air masses, blizzards and freezes? We know this. I mean, you say that I make a lot of Sydney threads, but you make a lot more posts about South America and how snowy it is. Aren't we not that different? At least I criticize my city's climate from time to time (you can see that in the Australia climate thread). Can you ever criticize South America's climate? At least I don't always boast about Sydney.
What places in the world with fairly mild average highs in winter (8C-10C) have record lows around or close to -16C?
This is in contrast to Melbourne and Sydney's summers, with their rather mild highs (25C-26C) and their extreme high records (46C). Also Albany (23C average summer high, 45C record high).
Such extreme anomalies only occur here in the summer. Any places that experience such drastic temperature differences in the winter? I'm guessing US south?

My dream climate has -2C/9C in July and a record low of -15C

Esperance is another spot with spectacular differences between average and record highs.
Also the temperature gradient back from the coast can be quite extreme, due to cold ocean currents.
And yes I have experienced it first hand, a summer spent there.
