New Zealand white-out hits air and road travel
Two weeks ago New Zealand was praying for snow to kick start its ski season.
This week it has snowed like almost never before. So much so that New Zealanders have been hit by the worst winter storm in decades.
The Antarctic blast, described by the New Zealand MetService as close to a one in 50 year event, has seen roads, schools and airports closed.
The storm brought snow in places that don’t usually see it, including Wellington and Auckland where snow hasn’t fallen in more than 30 years.
Air and road travel has been disrupted with many roads in both north and south islands closed and flights out of Christchurch, Queenstown and Dunedin cancelled yesterday.
