Its unclear at this point if we will experience the full effects of the weather event, however, speculation is beginning to mount as we wait to see if we will be blanketed along with the major cities.
The storm is reported to stretch at least 500km and has prompted the state government to issue an air quality warning to the already affected areas. They have also advised anyone with respiratory illnesses such as Asthma to stay inside until the weather event passes over.
