Snow in the south easing this morning, then just light falls or dry until Monday.

Last night's weather system is on its way out to the Tasman Sea, and a strong high is taking over. It should be centred to our north for the weekend, so, we are back to an unstable and foggy mess (mainly on the western side of the ranges). Its only borderline cold enough for snow, but any precipitation is light anyway. 

A cut-off low and upper level cold pool will track to our west on Monday, just to our north on Tuesday then deepen well off the coast to our east on Wednesday. This path should see snow redevelop over western resorts on Monday, affect all resorts on Tuesday, then mainly southern facing slopes on Wednesday. Its got great moisture, and cold air for most of it - but its moving faster than originally modelled, and deepens too far off the coast, so snowfalls have less chance of being epic. We should still see a good 15 to 30 cm, more if the path improves. 

High pressure slowly comes in to finish the week, and it warms up next weekend.
