Winter Storm Hits South Island | Wellington News
A major winter storm is barreling toward New Zealand’s South Island, bringing heavy rain to the West Coast and up to 30cm of snow in Otago and South Canterbury by Thursday. Key roads like SH8, SH80, and SH73 could be closed or restricted as crews work to keep them clear — but drivers must prepare: check weather and route planners, slow down, leave space, pack warm gear, and avoid sudden moves. This isn’t a first for the season — similar conditions shut down roads in August — so stay alert if heading south.
