Polar outbreak Tuesday/Wednesday for NZ

[Talbotm]

Well just got the odd snow flake coming in now. Very very light. temp is rising which is abit strange. on 2.2 but went as low as -0.1

[Storm Struck]

Nice breif snow shower here too very wet thick flakes though still quite big and formed a light sediment base on wooden surfaces.
Dropped from 3.0C to 1.4C with that shower, brrr looks like more coming up the coast be better if they were more frequent though.

[mikestormchaser]

Well it was nice while it lasted, i never really expected anything to major. but had some decent snow shower about 9 30 last night.
Woke up to nothing on the ground, and would of missed that snow shower at 2 30am leighton as i would have been sleeping lol.
Those showers last night seemed extremely scatterd, not chain shower like, as we typically see with those cold fronts. if it had of been like that we would of had a few cm by dawn.

cheers: mike
