“Australia’s south-east is about to shiver through a near-record late spring cold snap to start November, with Antarctic winds to bring unseasonal snow.
Temperatures through the week will drop as much as 15 degrees below average, cold enough for rare November snow along parts of the Great Dividing Range as far north as central New South Wales.
The last time it snowed in November that far north was 2008.
Following the state’s wettest October on record, widespread storms could also trigger more flooding down the east coast.”
