Big freeze is coming

THE most powerful cold front to cross Australia’s southeast in years will hit this weekend with forecasters warning of freezing conditions. The weather event will start tomorrow and unusually cold conditions are expected to last until the middle of next week. Weatherzone says South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, NSW, the ACT, Queensland and the Northern Territory will experience the coldest spell in at least two years, and more than five years in some places. Snow is forecast to fall in some Melbourne suburbs.
