Snow has fallen in the Blue Mountains for the second time this year, with falls settling up to five centimetres deep at Blackheath.
Blackheath Weather tweeted early on Tuesday morning: "4cm to 5cm cover in my yard in Blackheath now, as of 6:10 am, measured in half a dozen spots. Snow depths vary even over fairly short distances, just like showers of rain do."
The snow caused the closure of the Great Western Highway at Katoomba and Mount Victoria about 6am, although it had reopened in both directions by 8am at Katoomba and westbound at Mount Victoria.
There were also reported delays on the Blue Mountains train line.
The snowfall was the second in weeks, with the Upper Blue Mountains also experiencing a cold snap on Monday, May 27. While this snow didn't settle on the ground, it was reported in locations from Blue Mountains Grammar at Wentworth Falls, through Leura, Katoomba, Medlow Bath and Blackheath, up to Mt Victoria.
