Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
There's a developing shower line to the SW of Chch, currently looks brief but sharp.

Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
Sky still clear down here in the Mackenzie.
I see MS have lifted their snow warnings for Saturday. Nothing but "flurries" forecast now. I'd say that's about right...definitely feeling more autumnal than winter around here, still.

Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
From the CPIT roof, I could see 3 cells. Looks like it's fizzled out, but here's some pre-rain photos.

Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
Had a good snow shower through Dunedin from about 1:20pm until 2pm. Flakes were landing on my lawn at about 60 m asl, much too warm to settle. Snow has briefly (probably) settled to about 300 m on the hills around. 4 degrees!

Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
That was fairly exciting, blue skies and broken cloud now, battery flat in my camera unfortunately, temperature has certainly gone down a bit 5.1c at the moment with a stiff breeze.

Re: Cold snap for Eastern South Island
Here comes the sun!
Well that was strange, it looked like the weather was settling in, but now its fining up! Very hard to start planning for tomorrow.
