“Even some of that air has come from Antarctica,” he said.
“It’s brought some widespread snow to low levels in Tasmania, Victoria and south-eastern parts of NSW.
“Behind that front, we’re seeing these really cold and windy conditions.”
A possible shower is forecast for Geelong today with a top of 15.
