PALL AT HERMITAGE
HEAVIEST FOR YEAKS OPPORTUNE FOR SPORTS PLOUGH USED TO CLEAR ROAD [BY TELEGEAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION | TIMARU, Wednesday After four days of south-easterly weather, during which over 3in. of rain fell, causing creeks to flood and block roads in several places, the weather is now fine and sunny. The heaviest fall of snow in the Mount Cook regions for years has just been experienced at the Hermitage, where there was 14in. of snow yesterday. A bus ran into 2ft. of snow at Huskie Camp, and the road to the Ball . Hut was blocked yesterday as the result of the heavy fall. However, the snow plough should have the route cleared to-day. There are several feet of snow at the ski-ing grounds near the Ball Hut, and the fall is very opportune in view of the heavy winter sports programme.
