It's So Cold It Snowed in Canberra and Melbourne Overnight

Overview

While Sydney yesterday experienced an unseasonably mild day, our southern counterparts were experiencing the next ice age.

It got so cold yesterday that it started snowing in parts of of Victoria, and this morning residents in Melbourne's outer northwest woke up to a nice blanket of snow covering their properties. Current 'feels like' temperature? Zero degrees. That's literally freezing. Here's what it looks like:

Closer to home, that chilly city Canberra was also hammered by cold weather, with temps dropping to just one degree overnight. Looks fun. But also horrendously cold.

So, yeah, it's freezing. But before you start feeling smug about the warm 11 degrees it is outside, know that the freeze is coming for us. It's gonna be a chilly one tonight.
