A winter freeze has gripped Australia, with snow and storms across the south of the country, as even the Top End experiences a dip in temperature.
Temperatures dramatically dropped on Tuesday, courtesy of a cold front enveloping the country.
Our nation's capital of sub-zero weather, Canberra, was the coldest on Tuesday night, dipping to 0.6 degrees.
In an unusual change for Sandgropers, Perth placed second in the cold rankings, dipping to 0.7 degrees. The city had only reached 0.9 by 7.30am local time. 
Forecasters say the cool change is due to a cold air mass, which caused temperatures to drop sharply on Tuesday and Wednesday. 
"We've seen some strong winds, showers and some snow in the south-east, due to the cold front that came across the south-east of the country," Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Kenneth Cheunj said.
"Behind the cold front, we had a pretty extensive area of cold air."
Unsurprisingly, social media experienced a strong covering of snow pictures.

Canberrans were expecting some snow to fall. Mr Cheunj said that would mostly happen Wednesday morning, amounting to only a centimetre.
Down south however, the snow was down to sea level.
"In Tasmania the lowest temperature was recorded at Mount Wellington, sitting at -6.5, snow fell down to the ground in Tassie, pretty extensively yesterday," Mr Cheunj said.
"The snow has been coming down to near sea level in the far south, near to the north of Tassie the snow will be coming down to 200m."
Snow has also been reported in Ballarat and Victoria's Macedon, Dandenong and Otway Ranges, down to about 300m.
Fairfax Media has even seen evidence of snow on the beach at Aireys Inlet and Warrnambool.

Despite some murmurs, there do not appear to have been any confirmed reports that it actually snowed on the Eureka Tower in Melbourne.
Wild weather prompted the Bureau to issue severe weather warnings across Tasmania, Victoria, NSW, ACT and Queensland.
Wind gusts of between 90 and 110km/h were felt in Melbourne's south eastern suburbs, with rain and hail to come, Mr Cheunj said.
He said the strongest wind was recorded at Wilsons Promontory in the Gippsland region of Victoria, at 159km/h.
Damaging winds were also forecast for southern NSW, stretching from the border of Victoria up to Newcastle, and potential blizzards in the Snowy Mountains district.
Mr Cheunj said even the Northern Territory and Queensland were being gripped by their own version of winter.
"There's a pretty extensive cloud developing across the north of the country, that cloud may produce some patchy rain which will extend from the Kimberley across the centre of the country to some parts of Queensland," he said.
"It will get to 28 in Darwin today and 19 in Brisbane; that's a tad below what the average temperatures for   July are."
But have no fear - this forecaster says the end is near.
"Over the next couple of days the general trend is the weather will ease, the cold front will move from the south-east and conditions will be easing for the next few days," Mr Cheunj said.
