Hope that all GN are safe and warm.A bad week forecast for NSW
Campers, bushwalkers, motorists issued warning
Mr Geffroy said the cold snap was expected to continue for at least a week.
"We have a series of frontal systems moving across the state, all driven by what we call an upper trough and lots of cold air associated with that moving over this weekend," Mr Geffroy said.
"So we'll see that persisting for the weekend into Monday as that low pressure system moves through and then spins up over the ocean.
"So probably for much of the week we'll feel much colder temperatures than average.
"With this system moving through, I think we're probably looking at around five degrees or so below average for much of the State, slowly warming up and probably be taken back down again into the later half of the week with the next system."
The NSW State Emergency Service (SES) has advised people to take extra care when travelling over the weekend.
SES spokesman Jason Sims said the extreme cold temperatures could be dangerous for campers, bushwalkers and motorists.
"First and foremost, importantly if you don't have an essential need to be out and about and need to transport anywhere, I would suggest stay at home, stay warm and stay safe," Mr Sims said.

It's been a glorious day here on Bribie Island, a little gusty wind, cool, but not a cloud in the sky. Had an email fom Ontario Canada and they are complaining 26 deg. C is too hot! Not looking forward to later in the week though.

Have to say that the weather here on the south coast NSW is much the same as described by "Bruce and Bev",
had the tiniest bit of very light hail yesterday, but I stood outside and yelled at it to get away from our caravan....effective eh! cos it didn't last long!
we haven't actually stepped outside much today as we are watching the V8's in Townsville,
A message to the Chief of Cheer.....I think I can see some clouds in the sky there Doug!!!!
Been a lovely day here in Townsville and 150,000 race fans ventured to the track. We could here the big beasts zooming around from here. The white clouds were sent by the weather gods for the camera's.
