Is that measured on a large and open level space with a rigid surface?matttbs wrote:Still bucketing down here, up to 22cm now and no signs of letting up. -1.2 degrees now
I dont know much about these EC models... are they accurate and where can i view them?Bradley wrote:Latest update from EC still going for around 10cm of snow for the airport from around 9pm tonight
hmm interesting... im not ruling it out yet!Bradley wrote:Very accurate, they have been incredibly accurate in regards to this system. Interestingly enough it says no snow in the city but as I said snow for the airport lol. Only around 50m in difference but clearly that is alot in this kind of setup...
That's measured from the Middle of my lawn which is out in the open, no trees near or any fences for that fact. Using a trusty old plastic ruler. Keep in mind it has been very heavy snow since 12pmbpo wrote:Is that measured on a large and open level space with a rigid surface?matttbs wrote:Still bucketing down here, up to 22cm now and no signs of letting up. -1.2 degrees now
People around here are hunting out the deepest drifts they can find against fences and guestimating with very generous upward rounding.
If they were to be believed, I'd be sending this message from my house within an almost subterranean snow cavity.
I tend to agree, although i still can see a window where the temp drops.. between 9pm and 3am before the temp rises again.... could be interesting.Razor wrote:Stuck on 2 degrees here. I see Metservice have temps rising later tonight and into the early hours which would make sense if its going NE. I would say highly unlikely that ChCh will see snow, if it was going to happen I think it would have already. Inland must be getting quite epic though...

good rain tho.Three thoughts:CantyWX wrote:Paul, thanks for your input! In a nutshell, what do you think the chances are of decent snow in chch overnight? i would think flurries here and there are likely?
Yes, I was going to post something along those lines, that there is still that the tasman low to move across the SI, which will add fuel to the fire so to speak2. I see the latest IR satellite image (also Metservice web site) shows a hooked shaped cloud (probably an occluded front) curling into the low in the Tasman Sea. This has still to move across the South Island which it will likely do tonight and which will be the reason the prog keeps the precip going all night.
Good for the drought!Richard wrote:Up to 8cm now and still heaps of huge flakes
dropping at airport still.. down to 1.7 there now... which is more than it has dropped all evening.Razor wrote:Temperature rising here, gone up a degree in past ten mins
We lost the power a couple of hours ago. Still coming down thick and fast. In my opinion it's probably best that chch doesn't get any, tends to turn into chaos when the city gets snowRichard wrote:Lights are starting to flicker which could be a sign we are about to lose the power.
