SNOWSTORM IN THE SOUTH
NORTH ISLAND ALSO VISITED
OUTLOOK STILL UNPROMISING.
IB? TELEOEAPD.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
CHRISTCJHURCH, 19th "July.
The snowstorm died down late this afternoon, and there are indications tonight of another heavy frost from several portions of Lower Canterbury. The reports are that the weather conditions appear clear on the ranges, save on the hills from Ashburton. Thus the snowfall would appear to have been almost entirely confined to Christchurch and neighbourhood. If a heavy fall were now registered on the back hills, the consequences would be disastrous, for in the present of the stock, sheep would perish in thousands. There has been no snow at Lake Coleridge.
