More rain is due for the south-east today, including Australia’s alpine regions – but snow-goers still have plenty to look forward to.
Weatherzone reported today that light rain had done some damage to the snow cover at resort locations through the mountains yesterday afternoon.
Temperatures around two degrees meant the snow was unable to form – and that’s likely to continue today.
But Weatherzone said a series of cold fronts later this week would change that.
From Thursday, the snow is set to begin in earnest as those fronts sweep the south-east.
Up to 50cm is expected even at relatively low elevations by Monday.
But it’s the western and outback regions that have copped the biggest totals.
