Snow is falling in Dunedin and around the region as a forecast wintry blast makes its way up the South Island. A MetService spokesman said a cold wintry blast was spreading up the South Island and the next few days would feel like a return to winter, even though it was technically spring. Motorists were yesterday warned roads would be treacherous today, following a spate of incidents caused by blustery weather which tied up emergency services in the South yesterday. Tomorrow, Dunedin could expect a high of about 8degC while temperatures across most of the South Island remained in single digits. The potentially hazardous road conditions today follow on from a day of high winds which battered the South yesterday.
