Snowflakes spotted in Queensland

Snow falls in Queensland’s granite belt this morning as wind gusts lower the temperature.

 

Pictures of snowflakes falling near Stanthorpe on the Southern Downes have emerged after a wind chill caused the temperature at Toowoomba to fall to -5 degrees at 6:00am and -4.4 in Applethorpe at 6:30am.

 

Senior Forecaster Sam Campbell told the ABC possible wind gusts of up to 55km/h today will keep temperatures low in south-east Queensland.
