A Bureau of Meteorology spokesperson Jordan Notara said a cold front associated with a low-pressure system west of Tasmania is moving across the state.
"What's come with those winds is moist cold air, which has allowed snow to fall to lower elevation," he said.
"At 750 metres at Batlow is where we will see snowfall today.
"As we head into the later part of today and tomorrow, we will see snowfall at higher elevations such as Laurel Hill."
Drivers should exercise caution while travelling in the area.
