Both Mt Hotham and Falls Creek in the state’s northeast ranges saw enough snow on Monday for a blanket to settle on the ground as a cold front crossed the state.

On Sunday, Walpeup in the state’s northwest hit a blistering top of 37.1C (98.8F) while Melbourne reached a maximum of 29.5C (85.1F).

Monday’s high temperature in Melbourne was expected to top out at only 14C (57.2F), said weather bureau senior forecaster Michael Efron.
