What are some areas that are quite far from the equator that get little or no snowfall?

I hear, snowfall at Wellington and Hobart (41°S) is extremely rare.

Any others?

Nice gets snow every few years only and that's mostly on its hilly outskirts. It's probably even much more rare in Monaco and Menton which are both milder and more sheltered from cold fronts. All 3 cities are north of 43'N.

there are places on antarctica to dry for snow, for example the mcmurdo dry valleys (77°S)

I had Stewart Island in mind at 47° latitude south, i've heard that settling snow is very rare there (on sealevel).

Comodoro Rivadavia, Argentina, at 45°S, gets around 1 day of snow per year (perhaps a bit less). Some years they don't see snow at all. Certainly it isn't NO snow, but it's very close.

snow in torshavn (62N) can't be that common, judging from the winter averages.

In North America, Cumshewa Island is probably the furthest from the equator at 53N without regular snowfall. Some years they don't even get freezing temps.
