Snow misses Melbourne CBD lunch appointment


Despite Weather Bureau predictions of a 40 per cent chance of snow in the CBD, lunchtime passed with not a hint of white. Even though ominous-looking cloud banks and fronts swirling around the city, none failed to drop what would have been the CBD’s first snowfall in 20 years. On a Victoria-wide scale, it looks set to be the coldest day this winter. The record for the coldest day with a maximum of 4.4 degrees was set on July 4, 1901. Snow was last recorded in the Melboure CBD on July 25, 1986 - but it had turned to slush by the time it hit the ground. The last time enough fell to be gathered up on city streets was July 1951.
