Antarctic cold front to send temperatures plummeting
source
An Antarctic cold front is set to bring an icy chill right across Australia - with temperatures up to 10C lower than average.
Two cold fronts will make their way across New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania this week, and their effects are expected to linger well into the weekend.
Rain, storms, hail and even snow in some places are expected as winter begins to settle in - with Canberra tipped to dip below freezing on the weekend.
The first cold front will bring strong winds, rain, and storms to South Australia early on Tuesday before hitting Victoria in the evening.
The second, stronger cold front will move from Antarctica towards Tasmania and then Victoria and South Australia on Thursday, slowly making its way north.

Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Sarah Scully said the chill is expected to blanket most of the continent.
'Very cold air mass is moving from the Antarctic right over the country,' Ms Scully said.
'Temperatures will be 8 to 10C lower than the average, even in the Northern Territory and Queensland.
'It's a cold snap affecting the whole country, it's a big one. The effects will be felt right into the weekend.'
The stronger cold front will bring snow to Victoria at elevations above 800m.
Up to 20cm of snow is expected to fall at ski resorts in the alps on the border of NSW and Victoria.
