Weather Worsens Across Otago Region with Snow and Flooded Areas
Over two days fine but windy and sunny weather gave way to heavy rain at noon and persistent showers. The storm damaged roads and waterways prompting rapid repairs by the Road Board. A fresh snow fall blanketed high Otago mountains with several inches on Omarama and Kurow ranges, raising concerns for stranded settlers on higher runs. Coastal paddocks from Carroll to Hampden and reaching Timaru remained waterlogged though livestock losses are uncertain. Captain Edwin’s forecast predicts strong southerly winds, rising barometer, and a very cold night.
