State prepares for blustery conditions with snow expected in alpine regions Oliver Ree, 22, and Ally Mosley, 21, at Falls Creek. Picture: Chris Hocking Source: Sunday Herald Sun MELBOURNES Dandenong and Macedon Ranges could be sprinkled with snow this evening as emergency services brace for a wild week of blustery conditions. Light snow showers could fall above 500m while our higher alpine regions are anticipated to receive a healthy dump of snow of around 10cm to 25cm. But the wintry blast has forced SES to arm its brigade for strong winds with heavy gusts predicted to intensify tonight. Almost 50 distress calls have been made to emergency services since midnight for widespread assistance across metropolitan areas. Consistent winds of around 60km/h have stripped tree limbs and damaged cars and properties. Wilsons Promontory recorded peak gusts of 122km/h earlier this morning. A gale warning has been signalled along East Gippsland coast as strong winds are expected to impact Port Phillip. Minor flood warnings have been issued to regional areas in the Victorian Alps.
