Victoria’s Great Alpine Road was closed between Hotham heights and Harrietville because of snow and poor conditions, while in NSW, a warning was issued for drivers along Kosciuszko Road and Alpine Way which are affected by snow and ice.
With temperatures expected to fall between two to eight degrees below the May average, its warned snow will continue to fall and could do so as low as 700-800 metres.
"On Sunday, the heaviest precipitation looks to fall southeast of Cooma, so Nimmitabel and even Bombala are in the firing line for snow showers. It all depends on where the precipitation is heaviest, which depends on just where that low form," Weatherzone said.
"Many elevated areas dropped below 0 degrees, with sleet and snow falling over the eastern ranges.”
