Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
Page 3 of 1st section, but only a small article in the In Brief column. Had a look outside and there's still snow on the Port Hills above about 350m.Where does it say in the Press about snow?

Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
What a change from a good hour or so of clearish weather and no rain, in the last 20mins the sky has closed in with heavy rain laced with hail and now 4C.
Cheers

Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
We have absolutely nothing here, and has been this way for the last past ages.

Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
hehehe, you got some.
It seems out this way, its starting to clear for good, it feels warmer and the wind has died down and it has stopped raining, roll on the next southerly blast, when ever that might be, probably the start of June!!

Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
That was some impresive hail storm that went through. Lasted quite a while.

Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
All you lucky buggers getting hail, nothing here or nothing much.
We had thunder here this morning around 4:30am and 5:30am. There have been a lot of thundery showers today but those 2 were the only ones that were literally thundery, the other times the rain was that heavy that it just thundered down. 19mm here until 1:30pm.
More report on todays weather, tonight, in my West Melton weather blog.

Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
My father told me there was a spectacular thunder and lightning show around Akaroa in the very early hours of today.

Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
Saw clouds yesterday I hadn't seen in a while, but what can ya do when ya gotta work. bahh.
Heard some nice booms and saw a few flashes. Got woken up by a few thunder claps early this morning to, which is amazing as I thought I'd never get woken by thunder. However I just went back to sleep as couldn't be bothered getting out've bed.
A few hail showers about today indeed, not big hail but showery hail.
Back to it......
Cheers
