*sigh* Only got two more logs indoors for fire and not going out in PJ's so I may last another hour lol no sign of any snow yet, or even sleet... very cold though...

trickytiger · Unread post by **trickytiger** » Fri 09/10/2009 03:33

I would think there would be something by 4.30am

EDIT: 4.6degs here and a tiny bit of sleet

MoorfNZ · Unread post by **MoorfNZ** » Fri 09/10/2009 03:37

Just straight down, persistent rain here - no wind and 4 degs...

trickytiger · Unread post by **trickytiger** » Fri 09/10/2009 03:48

I see Ashburton is on 4.5degs and sleeting also

MoorfNZ · Unread post by **MoorfNZ** » Fri 09/10/2009 03:58

In that case it really shouldn't be long, especially as I'm at 300m

EDIT: Where did you find info on sleet in Ashburton

Nite

MoorfNZ · Unread post by **MoorfNZ** » Fri 09/10/2009 04:41

Typical - everyone leaves and it starts sleeting!! $\:D/$

EDIT: Sleet/rain/sleet/rain - hopefully will awake to much whiteness!

Snowlover · Unread post by **Snowlover** » Fri 09/10/2009 07:21

Looks like Hanmer Springs has had a good fall overnight, if it keeps snowing there today could get to quite a depth. Where is our Christchurch snow tho

Manukau heads obs · Fri 09/10/2009 07:24

its not forecasted to get down to sea level,but you could get some sleet at times?

Richard · Unread post by **Richard** » Fri 09/10/2009 07:29

Thats odd that you are far higher than here and its not snowing in fairlie

Kimkliff · Unread post by **Kimkliff** » Fri 09/10/2009 07:42

Snowing in Darfield and starting to settle although ground is very wet from overnight rain. Been snowing since got up 1/2 hour ago. Very steady snow, no start/stop or on/off stuff either. $\:D/$

Smeagol · Unread post by **Smeagol** » Fri 09/10/2009 07:48

Just started snowing here in Kirwee. To be expected if it is in Darfield...

Richard · Unread post by **Richard** » Fri 09/10/2009 08:25
