North and east of the mountain the countryside for a very wide area is covered largely with snow, several inches deep, while snow fell in Stratford for several hours, and for over an hour in Inglewood this morning. New Plymouth experienced a fall of hail and sleet. Motor-cars reaching the town from the south carried little heaps of hail and snow on the runninghoards and hoods. About noon conditions improved and temperatures rose, but early this afternoon the weather was again threatening.
