We had heavy sleet shower with hail mixed in around 45 mins ago. You could definately see the snow swirling around in the mix as it came down, here in Taupo. Piles of hail still sitting on the ground. Temp fell to around 2 deg during the sleet showers.

Airport-has seen early plane to Auckland cancelled, rescheduled to this afternoon. I wonder how much snow on SH5 at Te Pohue?
