NZ Weather Forum

Well, its bye bye to this cold front and thread.

Temp is 4.3, barometer is 1011 and is raising 2.0 per hour, partly cloudly skies, SE winds.

So the big question is, when is the next cold front suppose to hit, a weeks time?, ten days?

Snow on ground to about 200m.
Some heavy snow in north canterbury.
And snow fluries to sea level.
What more was expected from this event

i expected what TonyT said because fencepost is the forcasting group i like

yes the forcasted it earlyer rather than M/S and there nowcasting.

I recall some professional weatherologist or other saying it would either be a big event or a fizzer. It was not a big event, therefore it was a fizzer.

Thats all folks after some welcome rain and a little sleet over the last few days.
Thats my rant not going to Taylors to jump off though just time to move on and go into Hybernation for awhile me thinks. .
Cheers
Jason.

6.20pm staellite - still looks like quite alot of shower cloud in east of South Island, but much thicker cloud over North Island. Ties in with 6pm mslp map showing low to west of North Island, moving eastward while very cold southeasterly pushes onto island. No MetService heavy snow warning for central plateau, but looks like quite abit of the white stuff should fall there, maybe to quite low levels.

I was round at a friends house having a spa at about 6:30pm when it started to snow. A nice small dusting around Darfield. Well, I had my fun in the snow while I could...

A cold SE airstream for the next day and at least some clear skies ahead... I'm sick of clouds and rain

A cold clear day in chch, the port hills are bare, but banks peninsula has a very light dusting.

Snowing here. Although lightly.
