Has AFL ever been played in the snow?

Has the AFL or any other Australian Football game ever been played in the snow like Rugby League, Rugby Union, Soccer, American Football &Canadian Football.

Yep, they crossed to a game in the snow under lights on the footy show a few years back, i remember because i know the umpire who had umpired over 1000 games at the time. And I'm sure there have been plenty of games in the snow, not in the VFL/AFL but definitely in the smaller leagues, I played in a game when playing my last season at a place called Mt Beauty, there was snow all around the ground in the hills, actually a teammate, took his daughter up to the snow before the game and came back with a heap of snow in his ute, true story. That was the coldest day i ever played footy in, the bloke on me asked me if i was alright, my eyes were rolling around everywhere, we even had a swig of stones green ginger wine at half time to warm us up.

I think it snowed briefly in Canberra a few years back for a Western Bulldogs (v North Melbourne??) game at Manuka Oval. I can't remember the details very well. And yes I've played in the snow at Cooma and Goulburn - it's unpleasant!

no afl has not been played in the snow but ben cousins use to play on it
