Snow, strong winds, wild surf hit NSW as weather records set in freezing autumn night

Strong winds and snow hit areas of southern New South Wales last night, bringing a dramatic end to a cold autumn day.

From the snowfields to the Southern Highlands, a combination of very cold air from south of Australia and moisture caused widespread snow, along with winds of 113kph in some areas.

There were reports of 15 centimetres of snow at Falls Creek and Hotham, while Robertson was covered in snow just hours after wrapping up the Robertson Potato Festival, which drew thousands of tourists across the weekend.
