I don't think we will see cold enough temps for snow til later today, if at all...here's hoping for that and for later this coming weekend...

I can see the lighest dusting on the top of Flagstaff (over 600m) and right now a light squall appears to be drifting over there. Maybe snow in that but temps are stil not that low. Does look like a snowy sky though.

Disappointing

The Met Service snow forecast has turned to slush.

Any snow to low levels (in Canterbury) wont fall till later today, if it does at all. I think metservice got abit carried away with there forecasts to snow this low this early today.

Temperatures on the rise currently at 6.5deg.
Interesting given the forecaste (A FORECASTE IS ONLY A BEST GUESS) and the elevation of the hills around Dunedin that there is almost nothing on the tops. Normally we would see at least the hills covered in snow.
I guess the temperatures were simply not cold enough anywhere for the snow to eventuate.
It would be interesting to read what the experts think happened given the results.

We had hail this morning from approx 4 - 4.45 am (I knew this as I had my wisdom tooth out yesterday and was awake and in pain waiting until I could have the next lot of pain killers and had been staring at the clock for about an hour), couldn't be bothered getting out of bed to look, but husband did and said it was all over the ground.

Checked the webcams.
snow to low levels around Qtn, plenty of new snow at Mt Cook and possibly just starting to snow up at Castle hill.

Mainly blue sky here, cloud away to the ENE, cool gentle SW and no more moisture since the light rain last night. Had stopped when I went to bed at 11.30.

snow to low levels around Qtn,

Looks like light snow to 450/500m mark.

Colder air moving onto the South now but the shower cloud looks mostly small and shallow.
