Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Emily McVeigh said the cold snap was the result of a significant cold front coming through from the south.

"What it did was push out that warmer air mass that we'd been seeing so far in April, and bring some cold air and strong winds from the south," Ms McVeigh said.

"There was snow down to 1600 metres, so the Brindabellas may also have had a bit of a dusting."

A severe weather warning for the ACT was cancelled at 4.40am on Monday, after a busy weekend for the emergency services.

ACT Fire and Rescue and the ACT State Emergency Service responded to 21 requests for help on Friday night as damaging winds brought down trees and damaged houses.
