The powerful winds are so strong that trucks are being pushed over with one blocking the entrance to Melbourne Airport's long term car park.

The truck has rolled over on Mercer Drive at Tullamarine Airport, blocking traffic in both directions, Jessica Wright reports.

The accident is proving a nightmare for Melbourne Airport authorities as the truck has turned over near the entrance to the long term car park and traffic is heavy in the area.

Meanwhile, another truck has become stuck under the rail overpass near Bellair Street in Flemington. Heavy delays are already banked up in both directions.

Drivers are advised to seek an alternate route.

Emergency services are on their way to both locations.

A truck roll over has closed all outbound lanes of the Western Highway at Christies Road in Ravenhall.

The wild weather is creating some amazing images. See our gallery here.

The official temperature may be in the teens, but Melburnians are right to feel as though it's below freezing outside.

Bureau of Meteorology Senior Forecaster Gary Messen said chilly winds sweeping the state are making the mercury plummet from an actual 11.8 degrees to an apparent temperature of -3.3 in Melbourne, reports Caroline Zielinski

Across Victoria, wild winds continue to cause havoc, with South Channel Fort experiencing gusts of up to 122km/h, closely followed by Fawkner Beacon with gales of 103km/h.

Melbourne’s western suburb of Laverton was hit hardest when gales reached more than 100km/h just after 11am.

Mr Missen said while showers would be around for most of the day, their severity was expected to ease. Winds, on the other hand, will continue to howl through the state for another few hours.

"Winds will be quite fresh, and Phillip Island and the east will be experiencing strong winds for hours," he said.

Severe weather warnings remain in place for most of the state.

Jessica Wright reports that there are large waves in Port Phillip Bay at Port Melbourne, the pier at Albert Park, Frankston and Williamstown.

The Yarra River is flooding.

Powerful winds, icy temperatures and heavy rain are hitting the state. 
Read what has happened so far here.

The latest is that four train lines - Frankston, Belgrave, South Morang and Lilydale - are suspended.

There are power outages in Glen Waverley, Mulgrave, Ringwood, Mornington, Frankston, Frankston South and Sorrento.

A wall collapse has injured a woman in Yarraville and building companies have been warned that the strong winds pose a possibly lethal hazard.

Roads in the state's alpine regions are closed just as holidaymakers head for the snowfields.

Due to high winds, the speed limit on the Western Ring Road at the E.J. Whitten Bridge has been reduced to 60km/h.

As reported earlier, speed limits on the West Gate Bridge have been halved to 40km/h as wind gusts reach nearly 100 km/h, Jessica Wright reports.

Toorak Road in Mount Dandenong has been closed in both directions due to fallen power lines. Emergency services are on site.

Drivers are advised to avoid the area.

Radio station 3AW is reporting that a rubbish truck is trapped under a tree on Lachlan Drive, Endeavour Hills. It is believed the driver was not injured in the incident.

Fallen trees have suspended four train lines - Frankston, Belgrave, South Morang and Lilydale.

The Frankston train line was suspended just after 11.30am between Moorabbin and Carrum after a tree fell across the tracks in Highett.

Trains are not running between Bayswater and Belgrave due to a fallen tree at Upper Ferntree Gully; the Lilydale line has been suspended between Ringwood and Lilydale; and the South Morang line is suspended between Bell and South Morang.

Replacement buses have been ordered but Metro has warned that they may take some time to arrive.

Another fallen tree across train tracks at Hampton has caused delays on the Sandringham line while signalling issues on the Sunbury and Werribee lines are also causing delays.

Anna Whitelaw reports that the weather is playing havoc with the state's highways.

All northbound lanes of the Hume Highway in Craigieburn have been closed due to a tree falling across the road.

A truck rolled over this morning on Western Highway in Ravenhall, leaving all outbound lanes near Robinson Road closed. Both roads are expected to be closed for several hours.

Heavy snow falls have closed the Great Alpine Road between Mill Road in Harrietville in Hotham Heights, and Marysville-Woods Point Road in Cambarville near Marysville as holidaymakers head towards the state's snow fields. VicRoads expects both roads to be closed for several hours.

Scrubby Creek Track and the Benambra-Corryong Road in the Nariel Valley, near the New South Wales border, have also been closed.  They could remain closed for several days until the snow falls stop.

And in nearby Mitta Mitta, there are delays on the Omeo Highway between Lightning Creek and Glen Wills for the rest of today.

Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron manager Rod Austin reports the St Kilda Marina is getting a fair old battering with many boat owners understandably concerned about their assets.

The Squadron is taking every measure to protect the boats, however, and has workers currently out on the water making sure all the lines and moorings will hold.

"Absolutely, we are a bit concerned about the weather, it is gusting up to 60 knots at the moment," he said.

"We are taking all precautions and are keeping a close eye but at the moment everything is holding fast and no damages have been reported yet."

This usually peaceful sun shelter on Middle Park beach has become marooned this afternoon.

High winds have contributed to the cancellation of four Qantas flights and delayed about 30 flights in and out of Melbourne today, Jessica Wright reports.

A Qantas spokeswoman said the situation was not confined to Melbourne. "A number of Qantas flights have been affected by strong winds in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne today," she said.

"We are doing everything we can to reduce disruptions and get customers to their destinations as quickly as possible."

Four train lines are now suspended across Melbourne due to trees falling across the tracks.

The Belgrave line has been closed between Bayswater and Belgrave after a large tree fell at Upper Ferntree Gully.

The Hurstbridge line is closed between Macleod and Eltham, and Lilydale line trains are suspended between Ringwood and Lilydale.

The entire Stony Point line has been suspended between Frankston and Stony Point.

Buses are replacing trains on all four lines.

Passengers are being advised to check the Metro Trains website and app for regular updates.

The weather has at least been good news for those headed to the ski resorts with the late start to the snow season proving to be worth the wait.

Heavy snow began to fall at Mount Buller yesterday morning and shows no signs of stopping, Allison Worrall reports.

"It's been really cold and windy, perfect conditions for this snow," said Gillian Dobson from Mount Buller Resort Management.

"It's definitely going to continue snowing. The forecast is for snow every day right through to Monday."

After a warm start to the season, ski resorts are only now opening lifts.

Mount Buller aims to open a number of runs in time for the weekend and school holidays.

The first lift began turning at Mount Hotham on Tuesday morning and snow machines are working through the nights in the hope more lifts can open in coming days.

Connie Lurger, Mount Hotham's Resort Brand Manager, said there had been over 50cm of snow in 24 hours.

"It is a little later than usual but it's coming with a bang. We went from zero to hero," she said.

Mount Baw Baw Alpine Resort Chief Executive Stuart Ord said he's expecting to open runs tomorrow.

"If all goes well and the weather man is right, we could have up to 40-50cm of snow, which is probably the best start to the season for about seven years," he said.

Forecasts for Falls Creek estimate up to a metre of snow could fall over the next week. And in the last 24 hours the resort has recorded more than 30cm of snow, according to Jo Prothero from Falls Creek Resort Management.

"Anything over the half metre mark we'll be happy with," Ms Prothero said.

Lifts are also expected to start operating at Falls Creek tomorrow.

Victorian power companies are working to restore power to more than 60,000 homes across the state.

Regional and coastal areas have been worst affected, with only 150 outages reported in the city area, Allison Worrall reports.

Affected areas in the north and west of the state include Werribee, Sunshine, Colac, Ballarat, Bendigo, Baccus Marsh, Daylesford and South Geelong.

In the eastern region, the towns of Monbulk, Montmorency, Watsonia North, Bundoora, Eltham, Eltham North, Olinda, King Lake, Warragul and Belgrave are experiencing disruptions.

The Mornington Peninsula has also recorded significant power outages.

United Energy spokesperson Damien Batey said the most common reason for faults has been fallen tree branches across power lines and high winds causing wires to clash or fall to the ground.

"Should any customers happen to see live power lines on the ground, it's of the upmost important to report it to 000," Mr Batey said.

Canterbury Road in Camberwell has been closed with emergency services on site.

The road is shut in both directions between Burke Road and Stanhope Grove due to debris blowing off a structure in the area. Power lines are also understood to have been hit.

Drivers are advised to avoid the area.

Here's a video of the scene at Ponyfish Island bar in the Yarra...

Storm damage and power outages are causing widespread delays on tram routes that are expected to last into late afternoon, Anna Whitelaw reports.

Route 19 trams are suspended between Moreland Road and North Coburg due to storm damage on the tracks and power outages along Sydney Road in Brunswick.

Route 96 has also been suspended along the light rail from Port Junction to St Kilda. Trams were being diverted via Clarendon Street in both directions and replacement buses are operating between light rail stations. A shuttle service will run between St Kilda station and Acland Street.

Australia's big retailers were, by and large, forced on sale early this year as Mother Nature and her wintry ways were tardy in their arrival.

But with the arrival of the wild weather, Myer Executive Tony Sutto told Fairfax Media that customers had been pouring through the doors on Tuesday, Jessica Wright reports.

"Now that the cooler weather has well and truly set in, we are seeing customers rushing into our Myer Melbourne store to stock up on umbrellas, woollen hats and scarves. Anoraks have been very popular too as they keep you warm and keep the wind out," he said.

"Staying warm indoors is also a priority with quilts, electric blankets and portable heaters all popular items."

Frankston Pier has understandably been closed.

For kids, it's the perfect storm.

It's shaping up to be a nightmare trip home for commuters.

The Queen Street Bridge has been closed from Market Street, in the city, to Whiteman Street, Southbank, Jessica Wright reports.

All lanes are closed southbound from Flinders Street to Power Street due to flooding.

Emergency services are on site and drivers are advised to seek an alternate route.

The cold front has now passed over Melbourne and is moving east, Allison Worrall reports.

The temperature has warmed a few degrees in the last two hours to an actual temperature of 14 degrees, however due to gusty winds it feels much colder.

The Bureau of Meteorology is recording an apparent temperature of 0.6 degrees in the city.

The Bureau's senior forecaster Gary Messen said severe weather warnings for destructive and damaging winds across the state were still in place and would be revised later this afternoon.

United Energy as of about 3pm, had 19,000 customers without power with the worst affected areas Mornington, Bittern and Sorrento.

United Energy spokesman Damien Batey said repair crews were working on 150 individual jobs, which would take some time to fix.

The speed limit on the West Gate Bridge, as of about 3pm, was 60 km/h.

It had been reduced from its usual 80 km/h to 40 km/h earlier in the day.

The afternoon commute just went from bad to horrific. Two lanes are blocked, one in both directions and one just inbound, on the Tullamarine Freeway near the Melbourne Airport due to fallen light poles.

Other lane closures may also be apllied in the near future as emergency services assess the situation.

VicRoads Incident Response Service is on site and there are heavy delays on approach.

Drivers travelling through the area have been advised to allow extra time for their trips.

Trams are back up and running on route 19 between Elizabeth Street and North Coburg.

Meanwhile, Route 96 trams to St Kilda are being diverted to Route 112 along Clarendon Street between Port Junction and St Kilda in both directions.

A shuttle service is running between St Kilda Station and Acland Street.

Jessica Wright has some traffic updates:

• the speed limit on the E.J. Whitten Bridge has been restored to 100 km/h after earlier dropping to 40 km/h;
• Parkside Road in the pretty hamlet of Kinglake is closed between Kinglake and Kinglake West due to fallen trees and power lines in multiple locations; and
• traffic lights are out at the Mornington-Tyabb Road intersection. Drivers are advised to approach with caution.

The latest on Route 96 is that the trams are back up and running, according to our video journalist at the scene Joe Daunt.

Contributing to the commuter chaos, which you can read about here, a V/Line train has hit a car at Carnegie in Melbourne's south-east.

The Cranbourne and Pakenham line have been partly suspended.

Metro spokesperson Pauline O'Connor said no one had been injured and the car had since been cleared from the rail line.

"We're waiting for emergency services and Metro services to assess damages," she said.

Replacement buses have been ordered to service passengers between Caulfield and Oakleigh.

A V/Line spokeswoman said replacement buses were being organised for passengers travelling to Gippsland. V/Line trains heading into Melbourne are unaffected by the disruption.

Thousands of homes and businesses on the Mornington Peninsula are without power, and with 150 weather-related repairs still to be completed, it could take some time before things are back to normal.

Damien Batey from United Energy said at the peak of Tuesday's storm drama there were about 30,000 homes and businesses affected with winds causing power lines to clash or trees falling on them.

By 4pm the number of properties without electricity had fallen to about 8000, with Frankston South, Mornington, Sorrento and Beaumaris among the centres worst hit, Aisha Dow reports.

The power company was bracing for another flurry of calls as people returned home to find damage to their properties or disruptions to their electricity supplies.

Mr Batey said it was likely some homes and businesses would remain without power until the evening.

Sorrento local Sam Greenhill said "half the main street was out" at about 11am on Tuesday.

Some stores shut down while others including doctors' surgeries were able to rely on generator power.

The Toy Workshop manager Rachel Johnston said she almost took the extraordinary step of closing at midday when she feared strong winds were about to rip the store's roof off.

"The rain was coming in sideways... We never ever shut and we actually considered it," she said.

Ms Johnston said the torrential rain has since eased, although the lights have been flickering on and off throughout the afternoon.

Nick Toscano reports from an emergency services press conference that the worst of Melbourne's wild weather is over - for now.

Bureau of Meteorology's Kevin Parkyn said destructive winds had swept the state and storms roared along the coast.

"Victoria's mild start to winter certainly came to an abrupt halt today," he said.

The most intense winds were mostly between 100 and 110 km/h, but peaked at 120 km/h at Cape Otway.

More than a metre of snow is expected in some of the state's ski fields by Wednesday morning.

Mr Parkyn said the worst of Tuesday's weather had passed, "but it's not over yet".

"The bureau is likely to issue severe weather warnings for the remainder of the week," he said.

The State Emergency Service has received more than 2500 calls for help since midnight as Melbourne and towns along the state's southern coastline have been battered by wild winds, Nick Toscano reports.

State Control Centre spokesman Trevor White said the damage began around Warrnambool, in Victoria's far south-west, early on Tuesday morning before moving towards Melbourne.

There were about 1600 calls for assistance from the metropolitan area, he said, which have mainly been for property damage.

"SES volunteers, the CFA and MFB have cleared about 40 per cent of all calls, but we do expect to see a surge tonight as people return home and survey the damage around their property," he said.

"We expect crews will be working through the night and into tomorrow to clear the damage."

Mr White said there had been several reports of injuries due to flying debris, as items such as trampolines and garden furniture are thrown by strong wind. Wall collapses resulting in injuries have been reported at Warrnambool and Yarraville.

Areas close to rivers and creeks, such as Southbank and Elwood, have been flooded.

About 80,000 homes were without power across the state on Tuesday.

The state's public transport authority has apologised to commuters forced to battle service disruptions throughout the day, and says it hopes to minimise delays for the afternoon peak period.

Regional V/Line trains have been deliberately slowed down due to strong winds.

Public Transport Victoria chief executive Mark Wild said most services should be back to normal for afternoon commuters but many train lines remain closed.

Slippery roads have posed a serious danger to Victorian drivers, causing two truck roll-overs and prompting authorities to reduce the West Gate Bridge speed limit to 40 km/h earlier on Tuesday.

VicRoads is urging motorists to plan ahead, drive with caution, carry snow chains through alpine areas, and consider rescheduling road travel if possible.

"There are going to be more incidents this week as the weather continues to unfold," chief operating officer Peter Todd said.

"Make sure you are careful around fallen debris that might be across the road, look out for pedestrians ... leave a bit more room from the car in front of you and if there is water across the road, do not drive through it."

The West Gate Bridge speed limit is now 60 km/h but Mr Todd said authorities would continue to monitor weather conditions throughout the night.

One lane of Toorak Road near Glen Iris Road in Camberwell is closed eastbound due to fallen power lines but in good news, Queens Bridge Street has been reopened after flooding earlier shut the busy road.

In more welcome news from VicRoads:

• the truck roll-over at Melbourne Airport that blocked lanes in both directions on Melrose Drive, near the entrance to the long-term car park, has been cleared and the road reopened;
• Sydney Road between Harding and Bell streets in Coburg has been cleared following an earlier incident;
• a fallen power line has been cleared from Mount Dandenong Tourist Road;
• Raleigh Road in Maribyrnong road is clear after emergency water works;
• Canterbury Road in Camberwell is clear;
• all lanes are now clear on Racecourse Road near Bellair Street in Flemington; and
• traffic lights restored on the Nepean Highway at Mornington.

Unfortunately, the Whittlesea-Kingslake Road remains closed near Parkside Road due to fallen power lines. It is expected to reopen later on Tuesday night.

Yarra Trams has just cleared the disruption on Bourke Street in the CBD so Route 86/96 trams have resumed normal running.

Today's wild weather has kept paramedics busy, with Ambulance Victoria reporting almost 700 emergency calls. Extra ambulances have been rostered on to cope with the fallout.

As of midday on Tuesday, paramedics had responded to a total of 691 emergency calls, which included 12 car crashes, trees falling on vehicles and a collapsing brick wall, Craig Butt reports.

Some of the calls included:

- A woman who was rushed to the Western Hospital in a stable condition after she was struck by a collapsing brick wall in Yarraville, in Melbourne's west.

- A woman aged in her 40s who was showered with glass when a tree fell on to her car as she was driving in Werribee. She was taken to the Werribee Mercy hospital in a stable condition.

- A man who was unable to stop when a tree suddenly fell across the Ballarat-Maryborough Road at Clunes. He was taken to Ballarat Hospital in a stable condition.

- A woman aged in her 30s struck by plastic roof sheeting in A'Beckett Street in Melbourne who didn't require ambulance treatment

- A teenage girl who was taken to Box Hill hospital with minor injuries after the car she was in smashed into a pole at the corner of Doncaster Road and High Street in Doncaster around 4pm.

Ambulance Victoria Regional Manager Tess Tuohey has urged people to take care in the wild weather.

all trams seem to be running ok now.

Melburnians are set to receive some respite from today's wild weather but the Bureau of Meteorology warns Wednesday's conditions will still be cold and wintry.

Bureau senior forecaster Richard Carlyon said the weather system responsible for Tuesday's strong winds and heavy showers had died away late this afternoon."We're not likely to see the damaging wind gusts we saw today of above 100 kilometres an hour," he said. "Tomorrow they are likely to be 70 to 80km/h." "It will be wintry - just not as intense as what we have seen over the past two days," he said. Weather warnings are still in place for coastal areas and alpine regions.  Melbourne reached a top of 14.5 degrees on Tuesday, although wind chill made it seem considerably colder. The bureau is forecasting a top of 16 degrees for tomorrow. Gusts exceeding 100 km/h were recorded at Melbourne, Avalon and Essendon airports, while the strongest winds   "It's rare to see so many stations in the local area above 100 km/h. We've got quite a collection today," Mr Carlyon said. A Qantas spokeswoman said flights in and out of Melbourne were back on schedule following earlier delays and cancellations.  The strongest gusts recorded in the state were at South Channel Island, at the southern tip of Port Phillip Bay, where winds reached 122 km/h.

That's it for us tonight, make sure you join us tomorrow for more updates.
