Second time this month

Snow has again been reported in low-lying suburbs around Hobart but not to the extent of three weeks ago when it reached beaches, the first such snowfall in 30 years.

“Basically in terms of snow levels looking at around 100 to 200 metres in the south of the state and around 300 to 400 metres in the north,” said forecaster Glen Perrin.

“Certainly I think it’s a little bit unusual to see those low events in a row like we’ve seen so I’d say it is, but it’s hard to get an actual figure on that,” said Perrin.

The cold blast is coming basically straight from Antarctica, said Perrin.

Weather bureau senior forecaster Brooke Oakley said snow was still falling at Scott’s Peak in the state’s south-west.
