On Wednesday, November 2, residents woke to freezing temperatures, sleet and light snow on the slopes of Mount Canobolas.
Following the wettest 24 hour period of 2022 on Tuesday, November 1, snow struggled to settle on the soaking ground despite plenty of flakes visible in the air.
Wednesday is predicted to reach a high of eight degrees and a low of one. If it fails to reach eight and stays below 6.9 degrees, it will officially be the coldest recorded November day.
As of 9.30am the temperature sits at 3.2 degrees but feels like minus six thanks to the wind chill. The high of eight is forecast for around 3pm before temperatures plummet again.
Thursday will be warmer however with a high of 12 and a low of two forecast and we might even see the sun at some point before the week is out.
All access roads to Mount Canobolas are closed as of Wednesday morning.
