Nice photos snowstormwatcher

Hopefully it could be 8 days Steven,there was nothing in N Canterbury yesterday but the forecast is saying that it could be a possibly "in the north" today though,thick fog here this morning so maybe there's enough moisture about.

Neat photos Aaron

been near Oxford yesterday and rather close to those build ups i have to say they were some of the most spectacular looking storm clouds ive seen for some time.

I will keep an eye on Fri/Sat for thunder over the upper NorthIsland, 19C dewpoints in place with daytime heating, obviously still model variability for this time.

Some great looking build ups happening around the Hanmer Springs/Waiau area,i can see myself having to go for a drive to.

Great shots Richard, love the pileus cap in the first shot

Thought about going for a drive but decided not to because the storm is a bit too far over the back from Hanmer and two,too bloody hot so me&kids went down the river instead.

Shot taken at 5.00pm from our front door,its been pretty much over the one area all afternoon.
