South-west Victorian residents have been delighted by a downpour of 'magical' snow in springtime, as Ballarat shivers through lunchtime temperatures of –4C.
Mr Kolevski owned a farm in the region for more than 30 years and had never seen such large snowflakes."In cold weather, like us when we get hungry, they get hungry."
Ms Bradbury said it felt much colder than thermometers indicated, with a "feels like" temperature of –4C.While it is unusual for snow to fall at this time of year, Ms Bradbury said it was not unheard of in a city like Ballarat. Ms Bradbury said a strong cold front had brought the cold airmass across Victoria overnight and a post frontal trough had increased the snow activity.
"We've had snow reported as low as around 200 metres at locations such as Lismore, Mortlake and Ararat," she said.
