@WeatherWatchNZ @weatherbom @Windycom I’m very disappointed the Otago peninsula isn’t about 50km longer, we’d be in for a massive dump. Any chance you know anyone who could work on some extension plans?

@RusVoters @WeatherWatchNZ Sweet, would have looked great from the beach

@WeatherWatchNZ funnel cloud just off the coast of Dunedin.

[Tim Slade @TimSlade15]

@elliotstan Just off the coast around tomahawk beach by the looks of things

[Tim Slade @TimSlade15]

Well I can tick Funnel cloud off my weather spotting list. ✅🌪️

There’s nothing quite like walking out your door to go to work and be greeted with this. ⁦⁦@WeatherWatchNZ⁩

Massive aurora going off in Dunedin. Easily visible by naked eye

@weatherbom @NapierinFrame @weatherpaulg @WeatherWatchNZ I don’t think I’ve ever seen almost all of NZ with a chance of a thunderstorm before.

WIDESPREAD SNOW – TREACHEROUS CONDITIONS

There is widespread snow and treacherous driving conditions across Dunedin this morning.

Crews are out clearing roads, but the volume, low level and widespread snow means they won’t get to all areas immediately, particularly hill suburbs

[Tim Slade @TimSlade15]

Even after around 12 hours of temps around 1C and regular snow fall the concrete is still too warm for snow to settle on. Show’s how good a source of thermal mass concrete is!

[Tim Slade @TimSlade15]

Compulsory slow motion of the snow falling #snowmo

[Tim Slade @TimSlade15]

Around 2-3cm of settled snow on the top of the outdoor table this morning. Still snowing and settling too. @WeatherWatchNZ

First flakes to sea level here on the Otago Peninsula, right as forecast by the two best weather forecasters in NZ @WeatherWatchNZ @MetService

[Tim Slade @TimSlade15]

@tehoro @weatherpaulg @weatherbom @WeatherWatchNZ @MetService @therealgregjack @CubaRaglanGuy @UKEQ_Bulletin I always wondered what the 50 on the purple line meant I was thinking snow likely to 50m asl, now I know correctly 👍

[Tim Slade @TimSlade15]

@weatherpaulg @weatherbom @WeatherWatchNZ @MetService @therealgregjack @tehoro @CubaRaglanGuy @UKEQ_Bulletin 2 important things to note in these 2 model outputs for the 5 major models. All were in agreement 2 days ago and still are and they are all going for significant falls to sea level. Strangely GFS doesn’t think any of the precipitation will fall as snow?
