There is 20cm of snow at Lake Tekapo.
Hello guys! I am at Tekapo A power station and I don't know if I will get my truck out again! I think I will have to walk home. It's still snowing quite heavy. From what my co workers have been telling me there is no snow south of here. For instance in Twizel they have none at all. The road from Twizel to Fairlie is closed because of the snow here and a truck which over turned near the army camp.

Should get a nice view from the webcam once the cloud lifts.

Re: There is 20cm of snow at Lake Tekapo.
Well that didn't last very long at all. The snow has stopped falling a while ago and it has been raining for possibly one or two hours. The snow is already starting to melt and the weather is quite warm and mild. My guess is that most of this will be gone by tomorrow but some will hang around for days in the shady spots. This winter has been very mild.

Hi all. There's still 100 mm or 150 mm of snow on the ground around here but it is melting. It's very strange when you look down from above because there is a big circle of snow with Tekapo in the middle!! There is no snow any other places. It is very interesting and looks cool.

Re: There is 20cm of snow at Lake Tekapo.
Today has been fine but some cloud is moving in from the north direction. Is there a front with more snow on the way do you think?

Different system, but then I could be wrong.
