This is the best summary I could come up with:

"Particularly in areas from the Central Highlands and Coalfields regions, through inland parts of Capricornia, Wide Bay, Burnett, and through the Maranoa and Warrego, Darling Downs and Granite Belt," senior forecaster Steve Hadley said.

Wednesday evening will see cloud coverage drift over the region, helping ease temperatures, before a westerly burst cooling things down again from Friday and into the weekend.

The long-range forecast BOM has issued suggests that despite these temperatures, Queensland can expect to see a slightly warmer winter than usual.

He said it was "fantastic" the cold snap had arrived, welcoming BOM's prediction the mercury will drop to as low as 1C in the region over the next three days.

Mr Hayes said the cold snap — which he hopes lasts two or three months on the Granite Belt — meant an important process could now occur in the growing of grapes.

Mr Hayes said the cooler weather also brought tourists to the area, hoping to not only catch a glimpse of the frosts the region is known for, but also the chance to stay warm.
