A severe weather system has brought blizzards, snow, heavy rain and gale-force winds to areas of south-eastern Australia.
A major cold front has created a winter wonderland in parts of New South Wales, with good snow falls recorded in the Alpine region and a light dusting in the Central Tablelands.
Victorians have been experiencing some of their coldest temperatures this year, while snow also dusted areas of the ACT and South Australia.

My aplologies, icy.
My withered brain saw 'barefoot...kitchen' and automatically went there.
I typed without thinking.
I shall censure my brain accordingly.

for about the last week now, here in Wgtn, NZ, we've had heavy rain, gale force winds, hail & snow & yet to get past 9 degrees celcius
lowest has been 4 degrees so damn cold over here but because we didn't have a real winter last year, at least i'm wearing my winter wardrobe this year!

Down to 3 degrees here tonight in Tauranga, 13 in the day time, at least the sun was shinning today, rain next week.
I have never been so cold as this winter.
Lilli Cat is feeling it as well and is under the doona at night 🙂

It's about 15/16 degrees here on Norfolk heading for a low of 14 over-night, was alittle warmer before nightfall and nothing like what your experiencing. I hope your not at freezing point yet with the water frozen in your taps.
