What are the chances of this happening again?

Summer: let it snow, let it blow, let it glow
David Braithwaite / The Sydney Morning Herald
YOU will not often see a summer snow report, but Thredbo issued one yesterday after that most unseasonal Australian sight: a white Christmas.
In a day of wildly contrasting weather, four centimetres of snow fell on the NSW alpine town, Victoria was hit by hail, five centimetres of snow fell on the summit of Mount Wellington, behind Hobart, and high temperatures sent Queenslanders to the beach.

Considering the fact that I've seen snow in western UT in June and the Sierra in July it's not that extreme to see snow in mountains in early Summer in Australia. The chances of it happening again would have to be classified as good but the repeat period will be very long. Such an event falls into the uncommon category which means that it's rare but not unprecedented.
