Large parts of Australia have woken to their coldest morning of the year in the past two days, as icy weather continues to blast Australia's east ahead of the winter solstice.
And if the cold snap weather didn't have you reaching for the winter woollies already, the 'feels-like' temperature has been even more chilly.
According to observations from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and Hobart experienced a "feels-like" temperature between 3-6 degrees Celsius cooler than the actual minimum temperature on Tuesday, and similar again today.
BOM forecaster Belinda House said this included Toowoomba's Wellcamp Airport site, Oakey and Roma in Queensland, where the actual temperature was minus 3C to minus 4C on Tuesday morning, but the 'feels like' temperature was minus 7C.
In New South Wales' Tablelands, Glen Innes had an actual temperature of minus 4C but a 'feels-like' temperature of minus 8C / 17.6F.
And in the alpine area, Thredbo and Perisher in the Snowy Mountains both had observations of minus 9C, but a 'feels-like' temperature of minus 12C.
