The Next Dose of Winter to Hit Us!

[gopolks]

So whats the outlook for today, is it suppose to clear, blue sky in this part of town, we had an icy shower about two hours ago,

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

lol yup, newstalk zb also said a few of the northern christchurch suburbs had sleet or snow showers this morning. Nothing settling on the ground though as far as im aware as its very scattered showers. 10am radar shows a bit of a bit shower coming (maybe hail) its about 5 mins away i can see it building up. Im in haslwell so im very southern CHCH but its very very black to the south now

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Yeah thne showers are meant to become confined to Banks Peninsular this afternoon and southerlies easing this afternoon with maybe a frost tonight. Yes, there is blue sky around me atm too but thats all about to go out the window for a brief period.

[gopolks]

A frost??

brrrrr.

[Razor]

Surprisingly sleety rain with a few flakes again here in ChCh now

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Ive got pictures of the sleet that passed through with the big black clouds building and a picture of a very flooded area near by. I cant get them on here though...

[Ryan Thomas]

Out of every day to be told not to come in if you completed the work.. I should cry now since I missed watching a snow shower.

[Janos]

Snow settled in Dunedins higher suburbs this morning.
Lots of cars were covered but no depth.

[Razor]

Another sleety shower coming though

A massive change in this model now for ChCh for the next week- looks pretty uneventful really down here.

have been in queenstown most of this week, only got back yesterday, was snowing on lindas pass yesterday afternoon and had to put chains on before we could get over the summit!! pretty exciting
Come home to this rainy old weather, but still rather cold.
Next week sounds pretty eventful guys so keep watch and ears open

We too had some fairly good snow showers today, but very short lived. I am concerned tho' cause the sky has now completely cleared (except for down Chch way - still looks grotty), and it is likely to be a super frost - and I have to umpire netball at 9.30 in the morning. Brrrrr!!!

BTW had another 35mm rain, so that makes 68mm for the event - and yes, it is very soggy here.

[tich]

WTF? Parts of chch had snow?

Not Ilam - only noticed some rain showers there this morning.

[Razor]

We had a courier van turn up from Darfield here this morning and it had a good coating of snow on it's roof

[Storm Struck]

Didnt see any icy showers this morning here but had some heavy sleet showers wafting on through last night at times.
I dont think there will be a frost tonight the flow is still too established and will return again by tomorrow afternoon, maybe a very brief light frost inland.
I sure hope those models pull thier A into G for next week otherwise its much more the same of this pointless showery weather we have had today for much of the week.
Perhaps something more significant for example heavy rain or gale winds.
Cheers
Jason.

A good dusting of snow settled (again- how may times now this winter?) down to 100m on the Port Hills this morning, I can only presume there were flurries in parts of the city also

[gopolks]

Banks peninsula is covered, i woke up late, but apparently we had some here early morning, all gone now.

[Ryan Thomas]

Damnit, I missed seeing another snow shower? Ahhh quite amazing that its actually got that cold tho 2 days in a row

Did anyone photograph the Southern Alps this morning from Christchurch?
I went to Darfield late this morning and the mountains looked absolutely stunning and fantastic.
Sadly I didn't have my camera with me.
On the way back, there seems to be a bit of snow around BP.
