Re: Possible heavy snow June 3-4
Been raining steadily most of the time from 1am, recorded 8.3mm as of 8am. Looking at the radar and the main blob isn't really penetrating further north than Dunsandal
Auckland & Tauranga

Yep, i'm quite a distance from the hills now only 95m asl as well. Plenty of the gravel roads around here have got water right across them at the momentRichard wrote:I'm all alone in the Amuri now am i,how far from the hills are you trickytiger

Re: Possible heavy snow June 3-4
Good luck with you Richard for some sort of precipitation.
Light but steady rain here all day in overcast and calmish conditions despite a falling glass.

Re: Possible heavy snow June 3-4
Wet stuff here in Chch now. Looking at the news tonight I looks like remarkable snowfalls on the Otago fields. Hope Dunedin dries up, earthquake and flood in one week there!

Re: Possible heavy snow June 3-4
I dont know about that Brian,i think its just been bad luck that we have missed the rains that's produced floods in other parts of NZ,if that weather system of the last few days had crossed further north we would have likely have coped that rain that hit Otago.
But if come end of Aug and there's been little rain then i would think there would be a low chance once those spring westerly's kick in.....still plenty of time yet
