As gale forced winds batter Sydney on Monday, Australia’s southeast is preparing itself for blistering winter conditions, with a cold snap plummeting city temperatures to as low as -2 degrees.
A cold airstream moving over the southeastern states, will bring snow to areas as low as 500 metres in alpine regions from Wednesday.
Canberra can expect to cop the brunt of the cold conditions, expecting a low of -2C on Thursday and Friday as the cold front takes control.
A minimum of 8 was expected for Thursday morning in Sydney, making it the coldest day so far this year.
“There could be a bit of wind chill in the evening and the next best chance for rain is probably around Saturday,” Mr Cronje said.
This weekend generally was likely to be “more seasonably appropriate”, according to Mr Cronje.
