HEAVIEST FOR YEARS.
MOUNT COOK SNOWFALL 14IX AT THE HERMITAGE. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) TIMARU, this day. After four days of south-easterly weather, during which over 3in of rain fell, cwusing creek? to flood and block roads in several places, the weather is now line and sunny. The heaviest fall of snow in the Mount Cook regions for years has just been experienced at the Hermitage, where there was 14in of snow yesterday. A bus ran into 2ft of snow at Huskie lump, and the rood to the Ball Hut was blocked yesterday as the result of the heavy fall. However, the snow plough should have the route cleared to-day. There are several feet of snow at the ski ing grounds near the Ball Hut, and the fall is very opportune in view of the heovv winter sports programme.
