Heavy snow. And remember, it’s late springtime in New Zealand.
20 Nov 2018 – Parts of the South Island have been plunged back into winter, with roads closed and snow warnings issued.
MetService also received a report of a good amount of snow during the morning from Castle Hill Village, inland from Christchurch on the western side of Porters Pass. There were also reports of snow from Ranfurly and Roxburgh in Central Otago.
IS SNOW RARE IN NOVEMBER?
MetService meteorologist Claire Flynn said since 1990, heavy snow warnings had been issued five times during November, so while it was not common, it did happen about once every six years.
