Perth weather: Snow falls at Bluff Knoll as cold front knocks out power to WA homes.....
Permalink  

The tail end of yesterday's strong cold front ripped through much of Western Australia overnight and delivered damaging winds and widespread hail, as well as snow to one of the state's highest peaks.

Light breaks revealing snow on the peak of Bluff Knoll and a man standing near the edge.

Snow coats the top of Bluff Knoll in WA's south.

Plenty of reports of hail coming through. Check out this one from Bedfordale .....

 I take it you mean midnight. 12.00 PM is a nonsense. It means different things to different people. See -

Confusion at noon and midnight

 12pm (or 12am for that matter) simply do not exist!

the terminology AM is from the Latin ante meridiem which means BEFORE midday, and PM is also from Latin, this time post meridiem which means after midday. Midday is neither before OR after midday!

Midnight is not 12:00 it is 00:00 a minute earlier it is 23:59 and a minute later it is 00:01 there is no 12 midnight, either!

 

OK, pedant mode off!confuse

And reliance on wikipedia is fraught - any idiot can edit it, copy and paste their edit as "fact".
