Polar blast sweeps up country

NZ Herald
"An Antarctic blast sweeping up the country is expected to bring the first snow to some unlikely towns today. The freezing conditions were due to bring dustings of snow to Wellington's hilltop suburbs, Palmerston North, Masterton and Taupo today, and temperatures were expected to plummet to -6C this evening in the ranges. Weatherwatch analyst Philip Duncan said it was the first time he had ever seen snow forecast for some regions. "You don't associate Palmerston North, for example, with snow. It will be borderline between rain and snow. ...Meanwhile, ski fields were brimming with skiers and snowboarders during the first week of school holidays. "
