Wet cold snap rolling in

A cold snap is starting to set over much of the country with below-zero temperatures looming. Latest forecasts show a cold south to southeast flow is expected to spread north over the South Island today, bringing snow and below-zero temperatures, MetService meteorologist Hordur Thordarson said yesterday. Heavy-snow warnings and watches are in place for Southland, Otago and Canterbury, and drivers are warned low levels of snow could affect travel. Heavy rain and severe winds will dampen much of the North Island. A strong-wind watch has been put in place for Wellington and Wairarapa, south of Carterton, with severe gales predicted. From tomorrow possibly through to Wednesday there will be pretty strong southeasterlies through the Cook Strait and Wellington.
