The Daily Mail reports:
Freezing air from Antarctica will create a frosty weekend across Australia and the icy air is expected to linger into next week.
The five-day cold snap will start along the east coast in NSW and Victoria before eventually making its way to Queensland on Saturday.
The Bureau of Meteorology has warned temperatures will be as much as eight degrees below average for this time of year.
Because of the freezing air blast, widespread snow is now in the forecast, with measurable amounts expected to fall across areas including New South Wales, Southern, Central, and the Northern Tablelands, the Blue Mountains, elevated parts of the Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania, the Victorian Alps, and even the Granite Belt in Queensland’s south.
