Does it ever snow in Brazil?

During winter and sometimes even autumn and spring it snows in some cities of southern Brazil. There are several cities (KNOW) for their snow, like Urupema and Urubici. These cities (BE) all in high areas, but even places at sea level can have snow, although in small amounts and not every year. Brazil (THINK) to be a “tropical paradise” which is very wrong. Foreigners who travel to southern Brazil during autumn or winter in search for some heat and beaches are often disappointed.
