Metservice only forecasting snow for the high country, even though still a cold southerly. Blue Skies going for snow in the far south though.

Yea the Southerly flow went more SW. just a flick for inland need a blocking high to the east which would stall it and send it more southerly. Maybe next time #-o

There was light snow down to around 500-600m here overnight with a dusting at Tekapo.
Fine this morning with a cold gusty westerly.
