"Another fast moving front is expected to bring squally weather to a battered North Island overnight while more heavy snow is forecast for parts of Southland already battling the heaviest snowfall in years.Severe westerly gales, powerful enough to uproot trees, are expected in the Coromandel, according to WeatherWatch.Auckland has seen a morning of heavy showers, hail and isolated thunderstorms and the conditions are forecast to continue. .....The cold snap in Southland which is plaguing farmers in peak lambing season looks unlikely to let up as MetService issues a heavy snow warning for inland Southland and Clutha.Significant snow is likely down to 100 metres overnight with another 10 to 15cm of snow possible over 200 metres.State Highway 94 between Te Anau and Milford Sound has been closed because of the snow until further notice.South Island farmers say that as many of a million lambs forecast to be born in Otago and Southland could die because of bitterly cold conditions."
