ROUGH ON EARLY LAMBS
Although lambing has only just started in the Wanganui district, the heavy snowfall experienced on Monday morning played havoc with what lambs there were, states "The Post's" representative. Farmers spent the morning carrying the new lambs into sheds and applying hot-water bottles, a job which would have been impossible had the snow fallen a few weeks later when the lambing was in full swing. Not within living memory has there been snow on all the hills round the city, or so thick in the suburbs. On the high lands outside Marton the depth was a record fall of six inches.
