The heaviest falls were recorded in the early hours of Monday, with the gauge at Ballarat airport registering 8.6mm of rain.
Wild weather wreaked havoc during Monday's morning commute as police blocked traffic along Woolpack Road near Bacchus Marsh after a truck crashed into a power pole about 7.45am.
Ballarat SES duty officer Cameron Maher said crews had responded to about 10 calls for knocked over trees amid high winds at the weekend.
The wind was so strong on Sunday morning that it whipped up a garden shed and dumped it onto Queen Street upside down.
Ballarat resident Kellie Doherty captured a stunning photo of snow falling on mount Buninyong (above) on Sunday about 11am.
“It was beautiful to see and a welcome surprise,” she said.
“We've been waiting for snow all winter and it's always a thrill to see it fall locally.”
