As of 12.30am Friday 15th AUG we are getting passing snow showers here in Richmond Heights, Taupo (about 5km SE of Taupo township). We are at around 420 metres above sea level here.Interestingly I noticed the temperature shot up by 2 or 3 degrees just before the snow arrived, then dropped back down again as the snow started.
