After a light frost this morning I expected any showers which came onshore would possibly be icy if not flaky.
Few sleety showers between 7-9am nothing flaky though.
I was on the port hills today at about a height of 180-200m and jst had light rain showers however there could have been snow abit higher up.
I think the snow chances are going out the door now even though i hate to say it
however this introduces thunderstorms now which I think should be a good long season for them
.
Interesting to take note of what went right with this system or flow, as showers continued right up until this afternoon since Sunday evening. This would be good to note especailly if the flow had chances of bringing snow to sea level, intstead of most of these other blasts which have only stayed around for a day if that.
We have had blasts this winter which have had snow chances in a SW flow which we understand often go around us or out to sea, then there is the more S-SW flow which can bring showers onshore for a good period of time. So did it tilt more southerly perhaps as the days wore on
Good to think about for future simularities and so we dont dissapoint ourselves because the snow angels havn't deliverd.
Now to enjoy a good hardy frost tomorrow morning followed by a nice day, then back into a N-NE flow with rain.
Cheers
Jason.
