Brrr... it’s cold out there

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, the temperature fell below 0ºC at 4.30am and did not get above it until 8.30am, when it was still only 0.5ºC.

Residents throughout the Goulburn Valley reported having to scrape ice off car windscreens, frosts covering paddocks, water in birdbaths frozen solid and even puddled water turning into ice.

The night was the coldest since August 21 last year, when the mercury dropped to -1.5ºC.
