You're right - it's cold. So cold in fact, it's Melbourne's coldest April morning for 56 years.
The celsius in the city plunged to 2.9 degrees at 6.35am, a chilly wake-up call for Melburnians trying to rouse themselves for work.
The cold snap tested records across the city, with some suburbs dropping below freezing, Weather Company meteorologist Brett Dutschke said.
Mr Dutschke said most areas recorded their coldest April morning for decades, with some as much as 10 degrees below the monthly average.
The aptly named Coldstream recorded the greater Melbourne area's lowest temperature, with a frosty -2.7 degrees at 6:30am.
Many other suburbs recorded temperatures of less than 1 degree, with Scoresby managing only 0.3 degrees and Essendon 0.6 degrees.
Over in Melbourne's south-west, Laverton reached 0.4 - its lowest April temperature for 66 years - while Tullamarine struggled to just over a degree.
Mr Dutschke said tomorrow morning would not be as cold due to increasing cloud and a bit more wind, while frosts would only hit east of Melbourne
