It came onto snow here in West Melton, just after midnight and after I had just switched the computer off and was going off to bed. Light stuff but enough to settle and cover the ground white here.
White patches here this morning in the fields but gradually going away. Another sleety shower here about 9:30am.

Travelling from Chch to Akaroa this morning, there were light dustings to very low levels around Motukarara and in Little River, only above about 300-400m around Akaroa Harbour. A light rain shower near Taitapu about 10.30am.

Gee some of you are an optimisitic bucnh.

Its not going to happen!

The best you can hope for is that the sun breaks through the anticyclonic gloom that is settling over ChCh as I type.
