      Not sure if measuring snowfall by *country* is the best option. In the US, for example, averaging Michigan and Florida produces a useless stat.

      Chile is home to the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth. But on that map it gets lumped together with Norway.

      Crazy that Argentina, Chile and New Zealand are the only countries in the whole southern hemisphere where it regularly snows at sea level, while there are plenty of countries in the northern hemisphere.

      I can assure you Italy is wrong. I lived in Turin (250m above sea level) for 2 years and it did not snow once despite being the coldest major city in Italy. Maybe, close to the 500m mark, it snowed in some areas but I certainly would not call it a regular occurrence at all.

      Edit: why am I being downvoted for telling the truth? I’m literally just sharing my experience. I could literally see 3500m tall mountains from the streets and the Winter snow would begin halfway up

      Dont’know whether in southern Europe *every year* it snows under 500 m. Well, ten years ago it was true.

      the map is really cool
      But I did some research on some countries where snow is exotic
      And I found information that snow is actually not frequent, that is, it doesn’t snow every year in Oman, UAE, Madagascar, Eritrea, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Vietnam, Yemen, Papua New Guinea
      But it’s a very interesting map

      It depends, of course, on the value of m but it appears places with little to no snow are the places with the most snowfall.

      Equador has glaciers, which is amazing. Not all countries with snow-capped mountains have glaciers.

      From Colombia here. I live in Bogotá (2600m) and we don’t have snow ever. There is no place in Colombia where it regularly snows

      USA and China should be split by region. Highly doubt Georgia, Florida, Texas,Cali, or Hawaii get snow on a regular.

      Ughh. Philippines is so close to getting some snowfall. Mt. Pulag gets below 0C in the winter sometimes. And frost forms every year, even in the surrounding towns that are much lower in elevation. I’ve read that there was snowfall recorded in the 1800s but I’m not sure how accurate that is

      It can snow below 500m in Brazil, thought it’s definitively not regular.

      Lesotho “only over 500m”, you’d have to dig a massive well to reach 500m in there.
