Snow has fallen in parts of southern Queensland for just the third time in 35 years and temperatures are expected to continue to plummet.
Icy winds dropped the apparent temperature to below zero in other inland Queensland communities on Tuesday.
Snow fell in Queensland's Granite Belt west of Brisbane, at the Girraween National Park and nearby Eukey, but it was only light and it did not accumulate on the ground for long.
Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Lachlan Stoney said it was the third time snow had fallen in Queensland in 35 years, with 2015 and 1984 recording snowfalls.
"We've had colder mornings (this year) but we had enough moisture in the atmosphere for snow (on Tuesday)," Mr Stoney told AAP.
While it is not expected to snow on Wednesday, he said temperatures across the southern Queensland were expected to drop below zero due to clearer skies.
The arrival of a cold air mass from southern states is responsible for the drop in temperatures.
At Toowoomba, west of Brisbane, the temperature felt like -4.6 degrees early on Tuesday morning, even though the official temperature was 3.1 degrees,
It was a similar situation in other southern inland communities, where the "feels like" temperature was at or slightly below zero.
