It's snowed a couple of times in Auckland - I've collected a few anecdotes of snow in the Auckland region. I remember one of them when I was a kid during late 70's
Where in the Ak region were you living Graeme. I think what you saw was hail.
It was on One Tree Hill - it was on the radio and other media etc back then, and has been written about on the forum before. What information source are you using to say otherwise?
Other anecdotes of snow in Auckland:
Ellerslie 1964
Mt. Hikurangi (in Northland) in the 70's
Downtown Auckland 1974 (snowflakes observed from the 10th floor Air NZ building)
Bombay, Waitakeres, parts of North Shore June 1978
Upper Queen St & Waihiki Island Sept 1977
Hunuas Sept 1981
Whitford Aug 1984
Tamaki 1992
Hunuas Aug 2001
West Auckland, Waitakeres, Hunuas 1976
G - and it is still my ambition to get snow on camera in Auckland
