Here in Chch, it's not so cold, but still far from tropical. MetService finally stopped forecasting drizzle from yesterday, and guess what - it was drizzling earlier this morning.

Interestingly, the weather pattern here in North Otago/Waitaki District is almost the reverse of normal. While cruddy as ever on the coast, inland at Kurow and Otematata way it's lovely and fine, but once you climb up the Otematata Saddle (which is enclosed in cloud and covered in Hoare frost) and drop over the other side towards Omarama, it's cold, gray and threatening to snow.tich wrote:It must be very cold down south, according to the news reports. These reports seem to be concentrating on South Otago, where it seems to be worst, though you'd think Central Otago would be getting the heaviest frosts. And I wouldn't want to be living in Reefton over recent days - 3 days of continuous fog, with a max of only 2C yesterday.(presumably not much warmer on the 2 previous days)

Could be some light snow near you Gary. I see also Wanaka was only 1C (though dry) at Noon. Quite alot warmer in Chch now - temperature into double figures for a change and the sun is shining. (though I can see a northwest arch developing)Tara Hills To add this to your My Weather

Possibly. It's been threatening to snow for a few days now, but apart from the tiniest of flurries we've had nothing at Omarama level.tich wrote:Could be some light snow near you Gary.

BTW I went down to New Brighton this morning, and boy the seas were wild, surf breaking beyond the pier. (and it wasn't low tide) Must be a legacy of that deep low well to the northeast.
My own weather station has stopped predicting snow and is now calling rain. It's correct far more often than any person I've yet encountered, so I'm going with that. It won't surprise me if we get no more snow at ground level this (so-called) winter.spwill wrote:It's been threatening to snow for a few days now
Wrong weather pattern for snow Gary but thats on the change, maybe a light brief flurry or two this Evening however it dose look like some snow on the way for you Thursday/ Friday next week.
Sticking my neck out, there could be some warm advective snow at Omarama later next week.It won't surprise me if we get no more snow at ground level this (so-called) winter.
Yes, well done Jas. I can't do 3 days without my laptop, let alone a solo in the bush.Jasestrm wrote:A very big thing to do soloand not many people can do it cope in the bush for 3days and 3 night's and we were also the only group out of all the six month courses that came out altogether fully instead of pulling out half way through.

Would they time this to the weather. I guess they wouldn't send you out solo in very cold wet weather.Then From Tuesday-Friday today I was on Solo at lake Ianthe south of Ross. We had beutiful weather with some higher cloud at times but no frosts overnight just some dew as to expected
