Parts of Victoria have woken up to snow on Sunday morning after shivering through a brutal cold snap.

Mt Buller recieved 30cm of snow overnight, recorded as the most the resort has seen in more than 14 years.

The resort's communications consultant, Rhylla Morgan confirmed the blankets of snow seen were unprecedented, even for the resort.

It has been snowing steadily in the region, with expectations of hail, strong winds and a thunderstorm throughout the night.

Other areas of Victoria have also been hit with extreme weather conditions.

There have been reports of snow in the Macedon Ranges in central Victoria, while motorists travelling near Warragul, south-east of Melbourne, were warned about ice and snow on the road.

Suburbs closer to Melbourne's city also welcomed snow, as people took to social media to share rare images of the white frost covering the ground on Sunday morning following light fall.

The Bureau of Meteorology issued severe weather warnings for damaging winds of up to 90km/h, along with showers and thunderstorms bringing snow and hail.

Senior forecaster from the BoM, Stephen King, said that alpine areas will continue to endure ferocious winds on Sunday.

The forecaster told Daily Mail Australia that the freezing conditions were not a one-off for this weekend, adding that high winds and snow could be seen again in southern Australia throughout September.

'If we get another cold front, we could see more of these conditions well into September and through the school holidays.'

Duty forecaster Kim Westcott from Weatherzone, said that the strong gusts are expected to ease up on Monday and will be limited to coastal regions.

The BoM also issued a warning to New South Wales, as damaging winds were expected to hit Port Macquarie, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Batemans Bay and Eden.
