I want snow..please 😁 I want to show our 2 /1.2yr old, that, will be awesome. Thank you ❄☃️❄

It’s snowing at the mt Fyffe gate in kaikoura but not settling yet- looks like it’s got potential to overnight though.

Saw that from Springfield. Driving in snow showers back to Sheffield.

Is Christchurch going to get snow

No snow at Christchurch (Redwood) please let it snow ❄️❄️🌨️🌨️
