NOW that’s something you don’t see every day.

The cold snap that has hit the eastern states resulted in a bit of snowfall in high places overnight on Friday.

And when it comes to high places, there are no higher in Australian Motorsport than Mount Panorama, with a reported three inches of snow leaving the top of the hallowed circuit blanketed in white powder.

Several V8 Supercars drivers were trackside for a private event, several of whom had been enjoying the warm, sunny weather north Queensland last weekend for the Townsville 400, including Dunlop Series racer Jesse Dixon:

As well as Mount Panorama resident, TV presenter and GT racer Grant Denyer:

The Mount Panorama circuit is no newcomer to being blanketed in powder, with snow even falling during past Bathurst 1000 race weekends.

The extreme snow falls around various parts of New South Wales have led to a number of highway closures, while snow has fallen as far north as south east Queensland.
