About the Book
From the ABC News
The big chill in Stanthorpe the falls started about midnight and continued until as late as 5:00am. Many were determined not to miss the rare event.
Wind chill to keep southern Queensland shivering:
The weather bureau's Jess Carey said even though snow fell, the cold snap was not record breaking.
"Overnight temperatures last night were absolutely below the average temperature, and we've had some quite cold winds around ... so definitely below average but no records broken from this particular event, and really not forecasting that either," he said.
He said the mercury had plunged four to five degrees below normal overnight and was likely to stay down throughout Friday.
"The take-home message is that we've got some pretty cold south-westerlies moving through the southern interior and also the south-east coast as well, and that's going to make that already cold temperature feel even colder."
Mr Carey said the wind chill was particularly significant at Applethorpe on the snowy granite belt, where it was officially 0.7 degrees Celsius around 10:30am, but the apparent temperature measured just -6.6 degrees Celsius.
