Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane weather: Temperatures to plummet across Australia this weekend as wintery chill spreads across the country
The frigid weather will impact eastern parts of NSW and Queensland, while Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania will also be hit with an icy blast.
Strong winds are set to batter the east coast sparking warnings of large swells, while further inland Canberra will see frosts. Tasmania could receive a dusting of snow and graziers have been warned to ensure sheep and cattle are protected from wind chill.
'Strong southeasterly winds are driving showers and rough seas along the northern coast of NSW and almost the entire coast of Queensland,' Bureau meteorologist Christie Johnson Meteorologist said.
'There showers along the east coast will combine with rough seas and strong, gale force winds along the coast, however, inland we've got mostly sunny conditions that are generally close to the average.
'In NSW, there will be more frequent showers north of Sydney... and in the south some morning fog and frost patches before generally settled conditions.
Early morning frost and fog will also impact the ACT, Victoria, SA and Tasmania.
Scattered showers on Mother's Day are expected along the east coast from south of Sydney through to the north of Queensland. The rest of the country can anticipate crisp and sunny weather.

Telstra is rocked by massive outage as customers are left in the dark
Thousands of Telstra customers in southern New South Wales were left without internet and phone coverage following a major outage. More than 100,000 services across mobile, NBN, ADSL and PTSN were disrupted about 1.45pm following a power issue at an exchange site in north Nowra. Crews were deployed to resolve the issue which affected 99 other base stations across the region, the ABC reported. Power has since been restored at the site and all services have since come back online, a Telstra spokesperson told the Daily Mail. 'Our team fixed an onsite power issue impacting mobile, NBN, ADSL and PSTN services on the NSW South Coast this afternoon,' they said. 'Services have been coming back online since 1:45pm and are now fully restored. 'Thanks for your patience while we got this sorted.' It is believed emergency calls were not affected by the outage, though a number of local businesses were reportedly affected by disrupted internet access. Last week, a separate Telstra outage affected thousands of customers across the state following a severe weather event.

Farmer's Almanac predicts an ‘old-fashioned' winter for most of US
The Farmer's Almanac forecasts an 'old-fashioned' cold and wet winter for much of the United States. Millions of Americans, from the Pacific Northwest to New England, are expected to experience frigid temperatures, with significant cold snaps predicted for mid-January and mid-February. Frequent and heavy snowstorms are anticipated in regions including New England, the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, northern Central U.S., and Pacific Northwest mountains. The Mid-Atlantic, Texas, southern Plains, and Southeast are also set for wet conditions, with some areas experiencing cold snaps or freezing precipitation. Winter effects, including snow and cold, are expected to linger into March and April for New England, the Great Lakes, and the northern Plains.

Winter is going to be brutal: Farmer's Almanac warns of long and snowy season for most of US
Bundle up, winter is coming! The year's snow season is going to be grisly across much of the U.S., according to a new forecast from the Farmer's Almanac. Frigid temperatures will be felt for millions of Americans from the the coast of the Pacific Northwest to the northern Plains to New England. A 'significant cold snap' is expected in mid-January, with another 'pronounced cold spell' predicted to hit in mid-February. "Most of the country is on tap for a cold or very cold winter, kind of almost going back to an old-fashioned winter,' Almanac editor Sandi Duncan told USA Today. "It's going to cool down, it's going to snow, then it might warm up a little, then it's going to repeat itself again." So what's in store for your neighborhood and how much shoveling will you need this winter? Winter doesn't officially begin until December 21 with the winter solstice, but cold weather could make an appearance as early as September in some parts, the Almanac warns. New England is expected to see frequent snowstorms, especially in mid-January "Some pretty good snowstorms in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and southern New York … (and) then again in February, between the 8th and the 11th, we're calling for some very cold conditions, with some heavy snow in northern New England," the Almanac warns. But that's not the only region. The Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, northern Central U.S. and Pacific Northwest mountains should all gear up for some major snow totals that could impact the holidays. "And we're calling for a pretty big snowstorm" in the Great Lakes region from February 8-11. As the snow gives way to very cold temperatures there, snow moves into Kentucky and Ohio. The beginning of March brings snow to most of the region," Duncan said, according to USA Today. "The month ends with brisk, windy conditions, plus snow in the north." For the Pacific Northwest, the Almanac said skiers should be happy as the mountains are 'gearing up for some impressive snowfall total.' While the Mid-Atlantic could see some 'decent snow' as well, the Almanac said that the East Coast will likely also feel the effects of significant rain. Texas and the southern Plains states could once again see a stormy holiday season, with periodic cold snaps, the Almanac noted. A wet winter is expected to drench the Southwest — although the region won't feel temperatures that are too extreme. The Southeast will see many wet periods this winter. Although, the Appalachian regions could be lucky, with occasional snow events. 'While snow will be limited, the region may face several cold rain events and occasional freezing precipitation, particularly in northern areas,' the Almanac said. The effects of winter could linger through March and April in New England, Great Lakes and the northern Plains, Duncan warned. According to federal forecasters, there is a chance of La Niña conditions this winter in the U.S. That situation tends to push the jet stream north and bring warmer than typical winter temperatures in the south, and colder than normal in the north.
