The second known fall occurred on the 27th July when the Narrabri Weather team was on Mt Kaputar to witness the whole event, from the first flakes through to liquid rain that washed most of the snow away. Around 10-15mm of powdery snow fell at the summit during this episode. The soft, flat snowflakes reached sizes of over 10mm and were interspersed with falls of small hail-like ice about the size of match heads. Photos of this episode are shown below.
