That’s unusually cold for the River City in the Sunshine State.
South of the border fence it wasn’t as bad as that.
I’m sure that my car outside temperature measurement device is more accurate than what the weather app on the iPhone says it is.
My car indicated that it was 6 degrees C in Murwillumbah at 6.30 am and 8 degrees in Kingscliff at 7 am.
The iphone said that it was 5 degrees in Murbah and 10 degrees in Kingy.
What nonsense - it felt very nearly as cold in Kingscliff as it was in Mur’bah !
But tonight I reckon it’s the coldest night that it’s been for a few years. Significantly colder than last night.
I remember a rather intense cold spell exactly 40 yrs ago. It went down to zero in Ipswich and light snow fell around Toowoomba.
A bit further south around Stanthorpe the snow was much heavier.
Heavy enough to close the highway and most local roads for about a day until it melted.
Quite unusual in Qld.

Similar to Melbourne but 300km to the East. Rain, rain, rain, and more to come.
It has been quite an unusual night. When I went to bed last night the temp was 8 degrees then steadily climbed to 12 at around 5.00am.
Everything seems arse-about.
My nicely ordered world is falling apart.

Similar bizarro-weather in Ringwood area (Melbourne eastern suburbs): was about 9.5 deg at 1:30pm, climbed to 11.5 at 1am, then down to 10 at 7am. Freaky.Tim wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2024 6:32 am^^^

VERY windy in Brisbane right now - with the expected wind chill. Archerfield feels like 6° (actual 17°) at 1:20pm.

Classic snow pic- kudos !
According to reports tonight on social media, light snow has been reported on the Great Dividing Range at Spicer’s Peak, east of Warwick in South East Queensland.
History records that snowfalls (usually light) typically occur in the these areas once every few years but this is the first report of any snow in SE Qld since 2019.
As yet there has been no snowfall reported in Stanthorpe, where historically the heaviest snowfalls in this region have occurred.

My westward commute home from work on Saturday was an average 26.5km/hr into a 27km/hr headwind and 189W. Yuck!

They had snow yesterday at Guyra, which is 60 km south of Glen Innes.
But Guyra is significantly greater altitude than Glen Innes.
As you would know, in SE Qld and northern NSW we don’t get cool weather with westerly winds every winter.
And usually, if it happens it is a bit later in the winter.
The cold August westerlies at Ekka time in Brisbane are legendary.
Many many years ago I recall a driving trip from Brisbane to Perisher ski fields in NSW.
It was September school holidays and reports were not promising for good snow.
Even less promising when I stopped for lunch at Grafton (NSW) and the temperature was 30 degrees !
But exactly 24 hrs later, (after an overnight stay somewhere) while driving through Jindabyne the snow began to fall. And as you can guess that day there was a big snowfall in the high country at Perisher !

Loud crash and bang at 2.15 this morn': ye olde telly antenna has broken off, now on back lawn in tangled bits, and it can stay!
Ditching the elevated type antenna for a squat UHF that sits only 70cm off the roof. Nothing can be done until Monday on account of the weather making roof access too dangerous. Oh well, at least streaming on the computers still works!

Biggest rainfall here since back in January and the first time our small dam has had water in it since Nov. 23.
The weather is rare in so far as it's doing what I remember as a child in Melbourne - blowing in hard from the SW straight off the Southern Ocean.
Zero chance I'm even opening the bike shed door let alone reaching for the lycra thermal tights. Local weather station has the wind chill factor making it feel like 1.5 deg C out in the screeching wind............... no thanks!
Silver lining is that a week after this rain ceases my local gravel tracks and back roads will be packed down smooth and tight!
