Anybody else see a big drop overnight?

I didn't see any new snow here. The lower temperatures are welcome though!

It was most probably too dry an airstream to bring much snow to the mountains, eg the showers in Canterbury I think were just coastal. It was certainly a cold airflow though, with freezing levels supposedly getting as low as 1400m in the south of the North Island, well below normal for the time of year.

My coldest temp since only Dec 20th, 5.4C.

Just back from a week on the Gold Coast... 29/30C everyday and a couple of days in Sydney. A lot cooler in Sydney but happy to see a thunderstorm, especially one at 8.45am in the morning.
