[tich]

Raining in Merivale, Jeff's station showed 3.6C a few minutes ago.

[tgsnoopy]

Heavy shower at Whakatane on the way home about 5pm, made the next job at Awakeri under a MDU very uncomfortable lying on the wet ground.

Otherwise a good day.

[MoorfNZ]

Snowing hard here in nr Sheffield (1.20am) and has been for about 40 mins. Ground is white. Heavy falls with large flakes.

[Dean.]

Snowing in Ashburton at 100metres...easing off now with 1-2cm on grass

[Orion]

Stars glittering in a clear sky; temp. falling, now -3.3 degrees; a measured 3 inches of snow; seems to have been wetter snow than the other week as it's coating trees both bare and evergreen. (Sorry, blossoms) Very crisp and crunchy out there.

[Tornado Tim]

I see there is some weak storms in the tasman and a storm out east of Wellington atm

Must be the colder change heading up the country.

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Some snow visible at the top of the port hills this morning. Blue dome skies this morning with bearly a cloud to be seen.

[melja]

Snow right down round rangiora but did not settle in the town it self but cars up and down the road with snow on them.
A welcome 13mm of rain from this event.

[snowstormwatcher]

Snow showers here overnight Nothing settled though, Seems as if the main rain band bypassed South Canterbury.
Looks like a good fall around the Methven area.

[David]

Nice sunny morning here, got down to 5C. Looks like showers are going to arrive soon

[Richard]

Only a 1.5mm shower here disparately need more after a couple weeks of NW winds

[Michael]

Already here.

Nice sunny morning here, got down to 5C. Looks like showers are going to arrive soon

[Orion]

Some stormy-looking clouds going up the coast to the east and northeast.
Clear and sunny here and warmed up to -2.8 degrees.

[Michael]

Were really overdue for a big tasman low not these highs.

[jamie]

goood looking cb to my ssw

[Storm Struck]

Yes a slight dusting on the ground at work near Cust this morning roughly just over 120m asl, some good photos from yesterdays hailstorm in Oxford everything covered in many places making it look more like snow than hail.
I will have to see if i can have a chat to someone i know on Facebook who took photos from thier home last night of it get them up here.

[Richard]

Must have been a dam good hail shower in the Weka pass area yesterday evening as well,driving through there this morning there was big blobs of the white stuff that had flowed and banked up at the down hill end of a few culverts.

Thought we may have be in for a frost tonight but there's a mod to strong NW wind outside now,hope it keeps up,temp 7.2deg

[Michael]

Why these silly highs expand and contract forever in the tasman then race away to the east so quickly?

[Michael]

A sight for sore eyes a week out who are sick of the current

ongoing pattern.

[RWood]

I don't want to see it at all. The current dry sunny conditions will do fine, thank you.

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Looks like an extended period of NW winds likely for eastern New Zealand later this week for a few days thanks to the lows dominating in the Tasman. Think we may see 20 degrees being hit in some areas.

[Richard]

Looking like a cloudy day coming up,even a few showers which look to be coming up through South Canterbury going by the radar.
Started off -1.5 deg this morning then the came over

[NZstorm]

Looks like a high dominates this week and a major system coming in for the weekend. Maybe some instability in the west and north with next weekends trough but too early for predictions.

[spwill]

A big weekend coming up for NewZealand with the start of Rugby World Cup, the above average temperatures ahead of the trough system later in the week will be nice.
