Weather: southerly storm leaves impassable roads and one metre snowdrifts


An NZTA weather camera shows Old Coach Rd (State Highway 93) just before it was reopened by the NZTA on Tuesday afternoon. Snow drifts up to a metre deep are lying on some roads in the Clutha district south of Dunedin, and some roads in West Otago are impassable after a southerly storm dumped snow on the area on Monday. Some sections of Breakneck Rd, Tuapeka West Rd, Athenaeum Rd, and all of Rankleburn Rd, Dunrobin Rd and Owaka Valley Rd have four-wheel drive only access. Old Coach Rd (State Highway 93), State Highway 90 between McNab and Raes Junction and State Highway 93 between Te Anau and Milford Sound had been closed. The Clutha council reported some cars had been stuck on State Highway 93 despite it being closed overnight.
