Mr Duncan said ski fields on both islands had seen a healthy level of snow fall so far this winter.
"The South Island ski fields have had some really heavy dumps on some of the ranges [over the last week]."
"One of the good things about the snow this year is even though we've had several snow events already they have been pretty much all for the ski fields and not causing too much headaches for the farmers or road closures."
MetService meteorologist Stephen Glassey said it was unlikely more snow would fall on ski fields today.
"We have had a ridge of high pressure come from the South Island which has been bringing fine frosty weather but as we head in towards tomorrow and the weekend there's a front moving over the South Island which is going to bring some showers to the western South Island a few showers spreading up to eastern parts later in the day as well."
Some snow might fall on southern ski fields tomorrow, but "it's not going to be a huge dump" Mr Glassey said.
Auckland today would be mostly fine with sunny spells, although there would be some cloud cover during parts of the afternoon.
"Today is mostly fine over the country, there's just a little bit of cloud over Northland and Auckland and the east coast of the North Island."
Cloud cover meant a few showers in western Northland and Gisborne, but not substantial rain, Mr Glassey said.

Tomorrow we should wake up a bit warmer again, Mr Glassey said.
"There is a bit of a south west breeze over Auckland today which should mean the minimum temperatures don't get down as low as they have the last few nights."
Coldest parts of the country over night:
The coldest part of the country was Omarama again, which reached -19.3 at 7am this morning, the third night in a row temperatures have approached -20.
