We’re in the middle of something of an ‘antarctic blast’, with cold air moving over the country from the Southern Ocean – and snow falling over the lower South Island!

We’ve received a number of stunning snow pics from around snow affected areas – keep them coming in and we’ll try to show off as many as we can…
