Forecast maps from the Bureau of Meteorology show snowfall for Crookwell and the outskirts of Goulburn from around 4pm today.

Areas from Threadbo to Canberra are also expected to receive snowfall, as are Orange and Lithgow.

The cold weather, winds and snowfall are due to a cold front moving across the east coast of Australia, with up to 15 centimetres of snow expected in the Central West.
