Snow is falling in parts of central Victoria.

Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Kerif Arndt said there had been reports of snow from Ballarat all the way to Daylesford, “as far as Elphinstone, up past Kyneton.”

“Mount Macedon doesn't look like it’s had a huge amount of snow, but there might be more coming in the showers that are pushing up at the moment,” he said.

Mr Arndt said snow was not forecast for the weekend, at this stage, but that it would be cold.

“It’ll be a pretty frosty morning tomorrow,” he said. 

The Lake House in Daylesford posted a video of the first snow falling on Lake Daylesford to social media about 1.30pm on Friday. 

Wombat Hill House manager Prathap Bandi said it started snowing at the Daylesford business about midday.

“People are coming in and taking pictures,” he said.

Police in Kyneton said there had been light snowfall in their area from about 12.30pm.

“It’s hitting the ground and melting,” First constable Kris Hurford said. 

Macedon resident Kirsty Skilbeck said her mother took her nieces and nephews from Melbourne on a visit to Mount Macedon this morning after hearing it had been snowing. 

The children had never seen snow.

Ms Skilbeck and her daughter met the group at the Memorial Cross.

“They were very chuffed,” she said.

Ms Skilbeck said the snow had yet to fall as far as Macedon, but that it had been lightly snowing on the top of the mountain.

Cattle farmer Amy Rush said there was a light snow shower in Malmsbury about 1pm, followed by “a good one” at 1.45pm.

“In Malmsbury, we normally get a really light snow shower once a year, but we’ve not had a really good one like that for a good six years or more now,” she said.

“This was proper snow.”

She said it fell for up to 10 minutes.

After some initial worry about her winter calves, which were fine, she said she enjoyed the snow.

“It was a bit exciting,” she said.

The snow transformed The Convent in Daylesford into “a fairyland,” managing director Tina Banitska said.

“it was quite heavy for about two hours – it was really consistent,” she said.

“The views are sensational.”

She said visitors had come from Brisbane and Perth and were delighted by the snow.

“It was a great advertisement for the region in terms of the aesthetics of the area,” she said.
