Whilst this could well bring snow down to 500 metres or so, it is also occurring at the warmest part of the day, so lessens the chances somewhat. It's a game of wait and see - as always! ;)
I actually saw it in the ski forum. But you're right Geoff. It is wait and see

Access R (the higher resolution model) has an area of 528 over western Vic late Thursday - scroll through to 1900 hrs: http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/charts/ ... fresh+View" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Seriously cold.

Doesn't last long though. As you say Geoff, ask me on Friday :)

The old man picked a hell of a day to have a birthday. Going to be nice & chilly driving up to Kilmore later.

Sunshine & windy here at work.

A bit of sleet here so far but no snow; temps steady at about 4 C - not bad for the middle of the day.

Certainly not bad for a westerly flow. Here's hoping showers increase when winds shift southwesterly later, plus the added heating from the day.

Anyone know who took this photo? Would love to put it up on my website but need to know who took it? Or was it through 3aw ILS?

Lennie who is at Mt.Gambier works down there said one of the hail showers down there dropped the temp back to 4.8c before near sea level.. That is impressive!
