We Say/You Say: Winter has come
Hi Canterbury,
How were you impacted by the snowfall?
It was a short, snowy blast for residents in Canterbury this week as temperatures plummeted, bringing with it magnificent photo-ops and significant disruptions.
Fine but cold weather is set to last for the next few days in Canterbury before a southerly change brings with it gale force winds and rain.
Wild and chilly weather closed roads, left several residents without power, and overwhelmed ski fields as a cold front made its way up the South Island.
"The weather is going to be fairly changeable – you'll get northwesterlies and southwesterlies and brief rain and then some fine spells, so it's fairly busy but nothing too dramatic at this stage," MetService meteorologist Rob Kerr said.
Hundreds of motorists were trapped as heavy snowfall closed alpine passes. Arthur's Pass and Porter's Pass and the Lewis Pass reopened on Sunday and through Monday morning.
Snow fell down to 100m and those in Christchurch central were greeted with snow flurries.

Kia ora neighbours,
My name is John Karki and I'm currently looking for a job. I do live in Somerfield and I'm a student and keen to work while I study.

I'm open to all kinds of work-hospitality, retail, cleaning, kitchenhand, or anything where I can lend a hand and learn something new.
I am available anytime of day during morning and afternoon, some days evening too.

Thank you so much!
Kind regards,
