Same thing happened last year. Something to do with global warming

doubt we'll get snow here in Qld, there was the low chance of 10 - 30% probabilty Guyra (just over the border in NSW) would get it, but it seems they've cancelled the chance of it happing now

Am I reading the regs right for up the snow? As we are in snow season I need to carry snow chains at all times and fit where directed? If so who has a set of chains for 265/70/17 tyres for 'rent'?

You are correct bud, I last hired mine on the way up and they just rattled around in the back.

I do know of a couple of people who go to the op shop and purchase a pair and put them in the back, they may fit our big tyres when force is applied

"We're looking at very low levels on Tuesday and Wednesday; that's when we'll see snowfall developing to 300 and 400 metres," Mr Efron said.

"With such a low level of snow, we could see snowfalls in the Ballarat area, also across the Otways, Macedon and Dandenong Ranges, the Strzelecki Ranges and across Southern Gippsland."

Snow falls in the Otways every few years, behind Anglesea in the area where the annual Falls Music and Arts Festival was held, Mr Efron said.
