Snow falls in parts of NSW - in summer
NSW residents must be wondering what they've done to wind up an increasingly erratic Mother Nature.
Parts of the state recorded their coldest December mornings in several decades on Monday as summer snow fell in the Snowy Mountains, wild winds rattled the coast, and more than 500 people were still cut off by the worst flooding in years.
The State Emergency Service (SES) received 74 calls for help from people in the Illawarra, Sydney and the Blue Mountains as gusts of up to 100kmh brought tree branches crashing down and damaged roofs.
Temperatures plummeted to 4C at Parkes Airport in central NSW, 10 degrees below average and the coldest December morning in 54 years, The Weather Channel says.
Coonamble in northern NSW recorded 7C - the coldest December morning in 12 years while Trangie, northwest of Dubbo, had 6C - the coldest December morning in 42 years.
