Delayed Flights, Antarctic Records Frosty Nips: When Will The Aussie Cold Snap End?

If you woke up feeling like Pingu fresh from an icy nap in your igloo home, you weren’t alone. Multiple Aussie states and territories are currently enduring blistering winds like we haven’t seen for decades thanks to the cold snap. Planes are being cancelled, nips are frozen hard and it’s just an all-around not-so-fun time to be outside. Sydney’s kink has to be some light whipping ‘cos wild winds have been lashing us since the weekend. The chaos has become so out of control that 133 flights across 33 different airlines were delayed and two out of three Sydney airport runways were closed on Monday morning. Clearly someone needs a safe word.

#ALERT: There's travel chaos at Sydney Airport due to strong winds forcing single runway operations, primarily affecting domestic departures and arrivals.

Passengers are being urged to speak with their airline for further information on cancellations and delays. #9News pic.twitter.com/vpFI7lK4cB
