A COLD SNAP.
BAD WEATHER IN THE SOUTH. [by telegraph—per press association.] INVERCARGILL, This Day. The weather during last night was the most severe experienced in Southland all the winter. Snow fell in most places and there is quite three inches in the interior. In the Western District heavy showers and hail fell at intervals which, together with the heavy wind, has done considerable damage to cherry, plum and pear areas. In some districts the mortality amongst young lambs must be heavy. Tops of hills on high country are covered with a heavy coating of snow and should a day or two of warm weather follow immediatey, heavy floods will eventuate. The weather is now moderating but the temperature is still very low. DUNEDIN, This Day. The weather is quite wintry and threatening snow. The thermometer reading is the lowest for years. GORE, This Day.
The weather was very cold yesterday and to-day. Four inches of snow fell early this morning but had disippeared by noon. Westerly winds and rain make a flood probable. The weather will be severe on young lambs. The cold snap is also being felt on the West Coast, snow being reported from some of the up-country districts. This afternoon the Paparoas are coated with snow.
