Is It Snowing Now?

To find out if it's cold enough, have a look at the Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies's computer generated Prognostic Chart.

Look for the dark 540 line. If this line (or any line less than 540) is over us then it means the air is cold enough to snow down to 1400m or so. If 522 is over us then it should snow to sea level!
You can also look to see if precipitation is likely, and see predictions for a range of other things that are presumably useful to someone.

Or A Home Brewed Method

An average of Melb City and Frankston temperatures are linearly interpolated through the Mt Dandenong temperature to give an altitude for zero degrees C ie. the snow height (if it's raining). This method works well if it's windy and cloudy ie. not on clear still days.
