Strong cold southerlies in the wake of this low are likely to bring snow to low levels over many South Island areas and severe southerly gales to parts of central New Zealand and also Taranaki during Friday. A heavy snow warning is in force for Canterbury and Marlborough.
Heavy snow may disrupt travel in affected areas and could damage trees and powerlines. Cold conditions may cause stress for livestock.
Area: Canterbury and Marlborough south of about Ward.
Valid: 18 hours from 3:00am to 9:00pm Friday
Forecast: Snow is expected to lower to about 300 metres overnight Thursday. During Friday, 15 to 30cm of snow may accumulate above about 500 metres with lesser amounts down to about 300 metres. The snow is likely to be heaviest during Friday morning, and during that time the risk of damage to structures such as powerlines is greatest. The snow is then expected to gradually ease.

Last year saw a national shortage of Swan plants, the main diet of Monarch caterpillars, causing a large number of the population to be wiped out.
Yates is getting behind the drive to avert a similar crisis this year by giving away various free butterfly friendly seeds including Yates new Butterfly Field Mix seeds between 1st and 14th October. Just register here during this time to receive your packet of seeds.
A national planting day will be held on 20th October. Plant a Swan plant or other butterfly friendly plants in your garden, in your neighbour’s garden, at school, in your local community garden – and let’s help Monarch butterflies flourish.
National Gardening Week aims to foster a love of gardening with a focus on growing not only plants but friendships, good health, strong communities and closer connections with nature.
