I have the requisite Forester, but not the proximity to snow here. I don’t think the Granite Belt is in for its occasional dusting of snow with this cold front sadly.
Down to single digits across most of SEQ the last couple of nights, and boy aren’t the locals feeling it 
We all tend to larf at this type of thing, but anyone who has been in the UK knows that once the mercury hits 30C (even the high 20s), the infrastructure can’t cope. I’m thinking particularly of the Tube and also most of the housing stock, which is designed to keep heat in. We have the reverse in Australia- we try and keep heat out- and so our homes tend to get colder in winter than even Scandinavians expect.
-8 here in Bungendore this morning, cold enough to partially freeze the duckponds.
Now THAT is COLD!
Coldest I could see anywhere in NSW overnight on BOM was -8.5 at Cooma, surprised I couldn’t see anywhere listed with minus double digits.
Temps of -10 and below are relatively rare even in the Alps. Cooma AP gets a couple of mornings around that mark. The most common spot for -10C readings is around Crackenback on the way to Thredbo; that area gets superb cold air drainage from the nearby Alps. There are no official weather stations there but there is one on Wunderground- not sure what it got to this morning.
A couple more extremely cold mornings to go yet. Bungendore seems to have a hard(ish) limit of -8; it’s hit that temperature several times in the last few years but never -9. The all time record at Braidwood is -10 and Goulburn Airport -11, so it can get lower on rare occasions.
Goulburn Airport got to -10.0 this morning; here it was only -8.7C or so.
Bungendore just isn’t cold enough, maybe you need to move?
Thing is, Bungendore was still the coldest town as the Goulburn Airport is in a pretty ‘special’ frost hollow just out of town along the Windellama Rd. It was around -7C in Goulburn itself from what I could see.
Another -8 this morning, that’s three in a row.
I hope you’re handling this heatwave ok.
Some parts of Cooma got to -10C this morning, so yes a relative heatwave 
At least my pipes appear to be well insulated; some in Cooma didn’t have running water this morning.
I think it’s the first time in my life I’m wishing for warmer temperatures, though I still much prefer -8 to anything over 35C. The frozen environment has been absolutely spectacular at times…over 35C you just get dust, heat, smoke and general awfulness.
If they think 36 is baking then I’d hate to think what they’d call 42.
Remember, our homes and buildings are designed to prioritise cooling and aircon due to our hot climate. British homes and buildings are designed to retain heat due to their mostly colder climate.
So when you’re sitting at home wondering why your house isn’t staying warm and your heating bill is up, that’s how they’re feeling right about now but in reverse 
Yep, certainly in my visits over there I never saw a house with an air conditioner. And the tube becomes an insufferably hot mess with any temperature over about 25.
Every been in London when it’s in the 30’s? It honesty feels hotter than the 40 degrees here
The sad thing is, in the UK most houses / homes and businesses don’t have air-conditioning.
