This one has mostly bypassed us in town, just the odd shower Port Hills clear of snow up to about 400m, most of the activity went inland from us this timeTonyT wrote:When the clouds break between showers I can see snow very low down on the hills around Amberley, probably down to about 100m, but none in Amberley, just sleet overnight.

That extra 100m higher than here made a difference Bradley,how deep is it there, about 10-15cm?

I count 4 snow falls for the hill suburbs too, I have heard in winters like this we can expect on average around 8 falls of snow for the hills. So 4 more to come!spwill wrote:I think yesterdays snow over Dunedin was the fourth fall for the Dunedin Hill suburbs this winter. The Highgate web cam was showing only a lightish fall when I looked, shower clouds never looked very deep on the satellite pics.
