“A series of vigorous cold fronts will sweep across the southeast, generating heavy snowfalls with totals at higher elevations likely to exceed 50 centimeters by Monday,” Weatherzone said in a statement reported by News.com.au.
In alpine areas, News.com.au reports that as much 80 cm of snow could fall, to the delight of local ski resort operators.
