Mt Hotham rescue continues for second day after 20 people stranded in snow on Saturday
Six people are still awaiting rescue after being trapped in their cars by heavy snow on Saturday night. About 20 travellers in cars became stranded on the Blue Rag Range Track on Mount Hotham about 10.50pm on Saturday. The convoy was snowed-in overnight into Sunday, when 13 people were rescued by Victoria Police and State Emergency Service crews. A man in his 40s was injured in the chaos, after his vehicle rolled, and a fire truck became stuck in the snow after being deployed to help. However, a further six were forced to stay behind, with the temperature falling to -4.3C overnight. SES Regional Duty Officer James Boler said the operation had been 'pretty treacherous'. Rescue vehicles have struggled to get through the snow, and specialised alpine units were being brought in, with the remaining travellers expected to be evacuated via sled. People in the stranded vehicles had food, water and protection from the elements, emergency services said. Dargo Highway Plains Road is closed due to the extreme conditions and is not expected to reopen until after the long weekend.

Snow turns the town of Orange white on the NSW Central Tablelands
The first snow of the season is falling on the New South Wales Central Tablelands. Light falls have been reported in Orange, around Oberon and at Yetholme between Bathurst and Lithgow. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) had forecast snow in the Central Tablelands down to 800 metres, and down to 900m on the Southern Tablelands and Central West slopes and plains. "There are a couple of areas where there's just a little bit of white in the corners of social media or on web cams but it isn't looking like the nice white blanket that we've had on the ski fields [in the Snowy Mountains]," BOM meteorologist Helen Reid said. Overnight conditions plunged to minus 1 degree Celsius in a number of districts, with the apparent or "feels like" temperature hovering around minus 5C. "I think most places have fallen below 2C which is when we start thinking about the idea of frostiness, so that's right through the Central Tablelands and down into the Southern Tablelands," Ms Reid said. The BOM said the cold air mass creating the conditions was expected to linger for the next few days, with small hail and icy showers also forecast. "I would suggest that today is your better day to see some snow come through," Ms Reid said. "After that time, we aren't expecting snow to be a feature. "However there is another slim chance on Wednesday that we might see something in the Central Tablelands."

Mt Hotham rescue work continues after snow strands holiday-makers
Six people remain trapped in their vehicles after becoming stuck in heavy snow on Mount Hotham, in Victoria's high country, on Saturday. About 20 travellers were stranded on the Blue Rag Range Track near Dargo High Plains Road after a snow storm. The region has now recorded 62 centimetres over the week, as this year's ski season officially opened. Victoria Police and State Emergency Service (SES) crews moved in on Sunday, rescuing 13 people. But SES Regional Duty Officer James Boler said half a dozen were forced to spend a second night in their vehicles. "The rescue operation has actually been pretty treacherous," Mr Boler said. "The conditions up on the mountain have been very, very difficult to deal with." Authorities said those still to be rescued had food and water, and were safe from the elements. The temperature fell to -4.3 degrees Celsius last night and more snow was forecast for today. Mr Boler said rescue vehicles were struggling to get through the snow and specialised alpine search and rescue units were being brought in today. He said they would use sleds to help bring the remaining travellers out. "My hope for today is that we actually are able to support anyone that does actually need any further assistance coming down. "We're hoping not to come across any surprises and we're hoping we can have this all wrapped up as soon as possible." On Sunday, a man in his 40s was treated for minor injuries after his vehicle had rolled in the conditions. Dargo Highway Plains Road was closed to traffic due to the extreme weather conditions and was not expected to reopen until after the King's Birthday long weekend. Last year, 1,471 vehicles were turned back at Mount Hotham for failing to carry legally required wheel chains.
