A winter cold snap has resulted in snow falling in the Western Bay of Plenty.
The slushy, sleety snow has already fallen and thawed at Tauranga's TECT All Terrain Park this morning.
Ranger Jarron McInnes said the snow had now cleared.
"It was snowing for a bit here and there. It was quite heavy but it wasn't settling on the ground," he said.
"The ground temperature was still quite warm. It's cleared up now."
