CROMWELL NOTES

(From Odr Own Correspondent.) CROMWELL, April 16. Stormy and unsettled weather continues. the last two days snow has repeatedly fallen on the high country, and at times a light fall almost reached the flats. In the upper reaches of the Lindis country snow fell right down to the main road. It is. a long time since such a wintry storm was* experienced in April. Drizzling rain was falling on Wednesday morning, and the light coating of enow was disappearing from the low levels. CROMWELL, April 27. The period of wet weather which _set in 10 days ago shows no signs of abating, and must constitute a record autumn fall. At an early hour this morning another fall set in, the heaviest of the period, but with cold conditions enow fell to a lower level than hitherto, and there is now a fairly heavy coating on the surrounding mountains. At 8 a.m. there was no change in the conditions, and the hills are still obscured by falling snow. The rivers are high from previous rams,-and a change to warmer conditions, still likely before winter definitely sets in, would bring a substantial rise. Farmers up the valley are now looking for a spell of favourable weather to ensure the safety of autumn-sown crops.
