Parts of New Zealand have had a "cold and dreary day" with bone-chilling temperatures throughout Saturday.
Many Kiwis in the South Island woke to a white blanket of frost as temperatures plummeted into the negatives.
Down in Central Otago, Lauder residents woke to a numbing temperature of -6.6C, according to NIWA.
And it barely warmed up throughout the day, with NIWA saying it was a "cold and dreary day", with a temperature of -3C at 2pm.
"Freezing fog is responsible for the ice accretions visible on nearly all surfaces in this video, also known as rime ice," NIWA said.
More bad weather could be on the way, with MetService's thunderstorm outlook showing a front moving over the Tasman Sea to the southwest of the South Island on Saturday evening.
This will bring a "low risk" of thunderstorms to southern and central parts of Fiordland.
But while some places in the south of the South Island had a "cold and dreary day" it was a different story for many other areas.
Mt Hutt skifield opened its lifts on Saturday morning to officially kick-start the ski season and MetService said it was an "absolute bluebird day up there".
"I can almost see the lift queues from here," MetService said.
Auckland also had a beautiful day, with an "abundance of blue skies" and temperatures getting up to 15C, according to MetService.
It was similar stuff for Hamilton and Wellington, with both cities having a sunny day and temperatures getting up to 16C and 14C.
