Melbourne is on the cusp of the
coldest December day since 2006 - less than two weeks after boiling through the equal-hottest November day this century.
The city hit a maximum of 16.8 degrees on Sunday, but is forecast for only 15 on Monday, as a series of cold fronts continues to push frigid air from the Southern Ocean.
If the prediction pans out, it'll be the coldest December day since Christmas Day in 2006, when it peaked at 14.5 degrees and actually snowed.
The unseasonal chill has brought significant dumps of snow across the Victorian Alps, and falls as low as Mount William in the Grampians.
Snow resorts are reporting heavy dumps over the weekend. At Mount Hotham, there was 25 centimetres on the ground on Monday morning, with more snow expected throughout the day. Falls Creek recorded up to 20 centimetres and Mount Buller saw 18.
At Mount William in the Grampians, there was an overnight low of -0.2 degrees at 6.15am. At Mount Hotham, it got down to -2.1 degrees. At Buller it was -1.6 degrees and in Baw Baw it reached -1.
