Snow good!’: Snow falls in Canberra during AFL clash
Sometimes Australian Football League(AFL) players work in tough conditions like strong winds and driving rain especially in Melbourne.
But snow isn’t so common. Yesterday it snowed on Canberra’s Manuka Oval during the clash between the Hawks and the Giants.
It’s believed to be the first time an AFL match has seen a dusting of snow in the league’s history.
Footy fans and commentators were left in shock when the snow started falling in the first quarter of the round 21.
Hundreds of posts talking about the snow in the footy were posted on Twitter.
Snow good! ❄️
