A severe weather warning has been issued for Victoria with bitter colds, damaging winds, rain and potentially large falls of snow in the alps.

6 August 2019 – Snow in Victoria’s Alpine region could fall as low as 500m above sea level by Friday morning

“It looks as though there will be at least half a metre of snow at the main resorts by the end of the week,” forecaster Richard Carlyon said., adding it will likely lead to blizzard conditions.

Some areas of the state may even receive half their monthly rain in two days along with “blustery winds and bitterly cold temperatures”, the Bureau of Meteorology warns.
