[Growler]

No Snow in St Albans last 15mins or so

[Richard]

Anyone know if there's any snow out eastern suburbs

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

I would be very surprised if there wasnt Richard given depths of of over 20cm have occurred in the Central City.

Cloud seems to have 'closed in' a little over the last hour here;
sky has that lavender-bruised look to the east.
Temps. falling reasonably quickly in last half-hour: now 1.5deg.

I have an appointment in Ashburton tomorrow morning - anyone care to comment on the state of the streets in town?

Hoping it doesn't freeze too ferociously
and you folks take care further north

Just been for a drive into the hill country east of Fairlie around 25cm of snow up there above 500m.

Its just started snowing lightly here now.

[mikestormchaser]

id like to think going into the evening would bring the moisture up alil more aswel as it normally does, so hopefully we can get another couple of hours worth of snow even if its just light stuff!
Either way im over the moon that this event took place!!

[Lawrence]

Stopped snowing here,now the big freeze

[bmo]

Snowing here again only very lightly
The roads here tomorrow morning will be frozen over currently about 1cm of water and slush on the road thats been there all day...and having seen some people driving today....

[Orion]

Stopped snowing here,now the big freeze

The classic poem:
"What a blamed uncertain thing
this pesky weather is:
it blew
and snew
and then it thew
and then, by jing, it friz."

Happy days.

Last of the snow hanging on before it sees us through. Looking ahead the next week we have a few cold southerly flicks in a what is a dominant southerly flow. Would expect snow to reasonably low levels with these as well but probably more to 300m or so and only brief stuff.

[mikestormchaser]

hmm i dont think iv ever wrote so many posts in one thread lol. i think this might take the record! lol but so excited!! i just thinking to take into account that, the drizzly light stuff can intensefy so just another little thing to watch for before we say its all over.

[Richard]

The heavy stuff now moving over us,then yes,the big frezze.

Nice poem Orion

[mikestormchaser]

hope ur keeping warm in the basin richard!! we will have abit to talk about when we next have a weather meeting!
my goal is to try see if we can keep it snowing like it is untill 7pm and that wud be extra golden! its only lighter stuff but still beneficial for cm

[Richard]

Got the fire fair roaring Mike so i'm ok,kids have only just come in from doing starfishes in the stuff,...mad.

[Orion]
