Probably because it's hotter than all holy hell?

Stupid, backwards Australia.

No snow yet, but it's coming sooner or later. I need to invest in a good pair of snowpants so I can survive the outdoors for hours on end like I did when I was a kid.

Snow! Yes! Here!
But that's rare overhere as well.

I'd love to answer your questions about the dutch by the way.
The only problem is, the last time I mentioned something about our country, an Irish forum member told me I was wrong, so apparently I don't know all that much about my own country ;D.

Actually, European climate, as climate in general, depends on the altitude too. For example, Mediterranean climate is basically Californian. However, certain areas are higher than others, and that changes the climate there. Look at Nevada in the US. Nevada means snowy in Spanish. And you may say "but it's a f***ing desert!". Yes... except for the mountains, named Sierra Nevada ("snowy mountain range") by the first Spanish explorers. As it happens with the other Sierra Nevada, close to the Mediterranean coast. You can make an analogy with the Californian beaches and mountains too: you can surf and go snowboarding... the same day! It's exactly the same case.

Everything is relative, as Einstein said. For instance, it snowed a little (not settled, though) here in "Matrix" yesterday. Since the Iberian Inner Plateau is 650 metres over the sea level, we suffer a diabolic climatic mixture (Continental and Mediterranean). That is, extreme weather in both senses. Summers may be hot as Caribbean and winters may be cold as the Pole.

So is it as hot as the Caribbean and cold as a Pole every year or is it or something very rare?

Oh and we have about a foot of snow. And its been extremely cold lately. About 15-25 Degrees F
