The models have it more WSW now so southland will cop a lot of it plus getting into Otago and be critical in some areas but doesnt look severe furthur north in the east.

Don't forget the high wind warnings in central NZ! Wish I was down home in Dunedin for the first snow of the season.

7mm of rain here overnight with a dusting of snow on the higher mountains. Looks the cold change coming will only effect Otago and Southland.
