Hamilton
It is significantly cloudier than Melbourne due to its elevation and topography, averaging 1,995 sun hours annually. Though snow is rare, it saw significant snowfalls on 26 July 1901, 21 July 1888 and 29 July 1882, where 'up to several inches accumulated in town'. Perhaps the most impressive was the late-season snowstorm on 11 October 1910, where as much as 4 inches (10 cm) accumulated at no more than 240 m (790 ft) above sea level; and at nearby Mt Pierrepoint (275 m) 'an immense snow-man still almost intact at 2 pm'.
