A fierce hailstorm that slammed Sydney on Saturday has left some parts still coated in ice.
Streets in the city's inner west were turned white and some remained that way into Sunday.
Part of Salisbury Rd in Camperdown, in the inner west, was still closed about midday on Sunday with a large ice slab covering the road.
Sydney's temperature was sitting at a chilly 16 degrees about 1pm on Sunday.
Business owners were also counting the cost of the hail after it brought down five large factory buildings in Huntingwood, in the city's west.
Seven people were at the complex but made it out without any serious injuries.
Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) forecaster Francois Geffroy said a drop in freezing levels as part of the storms prompted the hail.
"We had a surface trough move across the state but also an upper trough moving through as well," he said.
"That was associated with the pool of cold air that saw low freezing levels."
Prospect Reservoir and Blacktown in the west received the heaviest downfalls on Saturday with 60mm and 53mm respectively.
Mr Geffroy said showers would remain around Sydney during the week, increasing towards the later half.
The hail topped off a massive week for emergency services following widescale flooding in Sydney and the Hunter region.
Between Monday and Sunday, the NSW State Emergency Service received 18,600 calls for assistance.
