An icy start in New South Wales and the ACT made it even harder than usual to get out of bed this morning. A high pressure system combined with a pool of cold air in the wake of a front sent temperatures plummeting overnight. It was the coldest May morning in six years for parts of the Central Tablelands, where Orange and Bathurst both dropped to minus 4.5 degrees.
 Impressively, today's minimum was colder than any morning last winter at both Goulburn Airport (-7.5C) and Orange Airport (-4.5C). Sydney's 10.2 degrees was the equal coldest so far this year and Canberra hit minus 4.4 degrees for the first time in nine months. Tomorrow will be another cold morning across New South Wales and the ACT, with widespread frost and fog inland.
