AUSTRALIA

Very warm days this week but thankfully clear of rain ... so far! Snow loss has not been too bad.

After a mild night, the weather changes today with some rain arriving in Victoria this morning, spreading east. This will turn to snow later.

The sooner the colder air arrives the more snow will fall overnight. It will be interesting to see how much we get!

Snow continues through the weekend, clearing on Sunday night. Looks like a great top-up to come!
