Through early next week much of the south-east will wake to temperatures near freezing, and along the ranges minimums should plunge to around -5 degrees Celsius.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Temperatures today will again remain below average across many regions, with the most extreme anomalies under thick cloud and rain from south-east SA, through western and central Victoria to southern NSW.
What is uncharacteristic about the current cold spell, is the usual culprit — strong fronts and polar blasts from Antarctica — are absent from the weather map.
Occasionally the coldest days in Australia result from cloudy skies and light winds, without an injection of very cold air from the south.
This process was clearly evident across Melbourne on Thursday — after a relatively mild overnight low of 8.3C, the city spent the day under cloud and drizzle, leading to only a two-degree increase in the temperature, and a maximum well below the forecast of 13C.
Cold weather will continue across south-east Australia on Saturday, particularly through eastern NSW under the thickest cloud and heaviest rain, however, slightly more sunshine elsewhere should confine single-digit maximums to Tasmania and the Great Dividing Range.
The most intense rain will shift to eastern NSW on Friday night and produce 20mm to 40mm from Forster to the Illawarra by late Saturday, including across Sydney’s east.

It’s almost the winter equinox and here in south west Australia we have only had one week of light rain compared to our normal 3 months on with 2-3 days off per week.
The forests will be super dry this year and combined with the coming record hot summer say goodbye…
