A quick note, because two things land together tomorrow. First: today is the last day to take up The White Stuff at the discounted $99 for the full season. After that it returns to the standard $149.

Second, and the reason the timing matters: the cold spell that's been building is now showing a persistent run of potentially snowy days across Canterbury from Sunday through next Thursday — forecast guidance has it at a 50–70% chance of snow to hill level across that window, and around 30-50% on the plains. It's a genuine spell worth watching, though not a certainty at this stage.

Here's the thing. Paid subscribers have been getting the detailed Canterbury Snow Forecast for that spell as it develops — daily, with the altitude detail: how low the snow will get, where it'll settle, when it'll start and ease, town by town and pass by pass. That detail will keep flowing this weekend and next week as the event unfolds.

So upgrading today does two things at once: it locks in the $99 rate before it's gone, and it gets you the full forecasts for this event from the start rather than watching it unfold from the outside. After tomorrow, both of those windows close together.

If you've been on the fence, this is the moment the fence stops being comfortable. Upgrade using the link at the bottom of this email.

And if you'd rather stay on the free list, that's genuinely fine — you'll still get the once-per-week Monday detection outlook and the post-event wrap-up. — Tony
