Bureau of Meteorology New South Wales Regional Director Barry Hanstrum said the conditions were associated with a series of cold fronts that will began moving through the state on Friday, and continued over the weekend.
“We’re expecting temperatures will stay low, winds will be fresh to strong, and snow will fall down to low elevations,” Mr Hanstrum said.
Temperatures are expected to drop to single digits or below zero across the south east during the nights and mornings.
The fronts brought snow to the Australian Alpine region on Saturday which extended right along the Great Dividing Range on Sunday and caused snowy conditions for Glen Innes.
Sunday and Monday saw many visitors to the area to specifically catch a glimpse of the snow.
Alan and Jennifer Cutmore and family drove down yesterday from Brisbane to see the snow and enjoyed the experience.
“It was so cool to see snow so close to Queensland,” she said.
Dean and Helen Taylor and family from Newcastle detoured to Glen Innes so the family could see snow, and will be travelling back home today.
