Winter isn't finished with those in the southern half of the country, with a frosty front preparing to sweep right across the lower states.
Low temperatures will hit Tasmania, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory and parts of South Australia thanks to a burst of cold frontal air pushing north-westerly up the country, according to the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).
This week, snow levels will drop to 500-700 metres across Victoria and New South Wales. Tasmanians can expect to see snow at just 300 metres of elevation in some parts of the state.
According to BOM meteorologist Miriam Bradbury, New South Wales will not be spared from the icy sweep.
"The coldest air will move up to New South Wales on Wednesday with snow possible about the central tablelands and flurries about the Northern Tablelands above 1,000 metres," Ms Bradbury said.
Ms Bradbury said below-average temperatures were expected for most parts of Australia.
Canberra will bear the brunt of the cold movements with minimums dropping to -4 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, rising only slightly to -1C on Thursday before heading up into the weekend.
While Canberra winter temps are frequently in the lower single digits, breaking into the negatives could have Canberrans reaching for another jumper.
Minimum temperatures in Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne will be under 10C for most of the week — with Melbourne getting down to just 5C on Tuesday.
BOM is warning of damaging winds over elevated terrain in eastern Victoria today, as well as in the alpine regions of New South Wales's Snowy Mountains and South West Slopes.
Sheep graziers in parts of South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales are also being warned to secure their flocks due to cold temperatures, rain showers and gusty winds.
Has this winter really been that cold?
Don't feel bad if you've been shivering a lot the past couple of months.
It's been a very cold winter thanks to slow-moving high-pressure systems sending cold bursts around the country.
In July, Melbourne experienced its coldest winter day since 2016 — barely topping out at 1C.
Alice Springs froze through 12 mornings of below-zero temperatures — the longest sub-zero streak on record!
Even typically warmer states like Queensland and Western Australia were hit with frost and snow over the last few months.
When is it going to get warmer?
According to the Bureau of Meteorology's latest climate outlook report, temperatures are going to rise into September and it's going to be a pretty toasty spring.
It's predicted that between September and November, maximum temperatures are going to be above median for south-east Queensland, most of NSW, SA and south-east WA.
Tasmania and the tropics have double the normal chance of "unusually high maximum temperatures" this spring.
Minimum temperatures for September to November are likely to be above median almost Australia-wide, with a greater than 80 per cent chance for the northern half of Australia and the south-east quadrant.
Better start unpacking those swimmers.
