Buckets of snow have fallen on mountains in NSW as a cold front carries icy temperatures, rain and harsh winds through the south-east.
A set of low-pressure systems created blizzard conditions and winds of up to 100 km/h in the highest points in New South Wales and Victoria, the Bureau of Meteorology said.
At least 25 centimetres of snow fell overnight at Perisher Ski Resort while 27 centimetres was dumped at Thredbo.
In Victoria, Hotham raked in at least 25 centimetres and Mount Baw Baw copped 12 centimetres.
Ski resorts in both states are expecting continued snowfall and sub-zero temperatures into tomorrow.
Closer to sea level, the bureau has issued a damaging wind warning for south-eastern parts of the country and Perth.
