Generally, etormy weather is anticipated, with rain general, rivers flooded on west Coa-st, snow on higher levels, to be followed by much colder conditions in about twenty-four hours. During the past twenty-four hours unsettled and cloudy -weather has been experienced throughout the Dominion* rain having falkn in many parts of both islands.
