The Grasshopper – The Latest Snow Forecast
The run of fine weather in New Zealand is now at an end as we descend into a long, stormy, unsettled period that’ll see out winter and take us into spring. There’s a busy schedule of frontal systems lined up, which will bring fluctuating temperatures and bouts of rain, snow, and then sunshine. It’s classic spring-like weather for this part of the world, which strong winds are part and parcel of, with severe-gale force winds expected on Thursday and Saturday.
Through it all, Kiwi resorts will rack up some hefty snowfall totals by the end of Sunday, especially on the upper slopes and on those ski fields closest to the Main Divide, such as Treble Cone and Temple Basin, where up to 30-50+cm could accumulate, while 10-30cm is expected elsewhere in the South Island.
