Dust, snow, wind and fire: massive weather system hits eastern Australia

[Guardian] A massive weather system that threw a blanket of dust over Sydney threatened to generate more unusual conditions across New South Wales and Victoria, with homes at risk in the Hunter from a fast-moving bushfire, flights delayed due to strong winds in Sydney and freezing temperatures in the Snowy Mountains.

The Bureau of Meteorology on Friday issued a severe weather warning for damaging winds over the state’s southeast ‐ stretching from the Victorian border up to the Hunter region.

Gusts of more than 90km/h were expected, with possible blizzards in the Alpine areas.

Flights were cancelled and delayed at Sydney airport and air quality was expected to remain poor in Sydney for another day.

Stronger-than-expected winds whipped up a fast-moving bushfire in the Hunter region, putting dozens of homes near Newcastle airport under threat.
