COLD AND WET WEATHER
A decided change to wintry conditions .took place in Wellington's wea,very promising, the Dominion Meteorologist being of the opinion that matters will probably be worse before an improvement takes place. An Antarctic disturbance, which has intensified during the past three days, has accounted for westerly gales in the North. These have been responsible for serious interruption to telegraphic communication to-day. Snow has fallen in the South, and strong gales are reported. The indications are for southerly winds, strong to gale, with heavy rain in many parts of the country. Rivers are likely to rise, and snow may bo expected on the higher levels, with falls of hail and sleet in the South. There is evidence of a cyclonic disturbance existing on the ocean considerably to the north-west of New Zealand.
