After the snowiest day of the year, we received a huge number of photos from readers around the country – in both islands.

Snow fell in parts of the South Island and on the Desert Road too – as most of the country shivered in the year’s lowest temperatures!

So check out some of our favourite snaps from today below – and don’t forget to send us any others – here, or on our Facebook page!

This from Brucie Raine at Lake Opuhe this morning…

This one came in from Facebook user Kyla Zqn in Queenstown – wow!

This photo of the Southern Alps is from Karlene Loveshorses in Christchurch – pretty stunning view…

While this comes from Halfway Bush in Dunedin, and Facebooker Jamie Smith!

More trampoline fun, this time in the North Island, from Jane McColl in Ohakune! Wow!

Victoria Dreyer, also in Ohakune, sent this through this morning…snow on the big carrot

Nick Watson grabbed this photo of some pretty heavy snow clouds passing Hornby on their way to the Port Hills.

Thanks once again to everyone who sent photos through – and sorry we couldn’t use them all – what a crazy day!
