The data don't lie, but alarmists do.
Heavy Snow Hits New Zealand's South Island
Heavy snow has hit New Zealand's South Island, causing widespread disruption, closing key highways, and trapping vehicles as frigid conditions took hold.
In the Canterbury region, cars were stranded at Castle Hill and Lake Lyndon, with police urging people to stay off the roads.
Snow piled up along State Highway 73, leading to its closure between Otira and Springfield, with drivers stranded in dangerous conditions. Folk found themselves stuck near Porters Skifield and all, waiting hours before local volunteers stepped in to provide shelter.
Snow even accumulated down to sea level in North Canterbury, as it did in areas such as Southland, Clutha, and Fiordland.
With more of the same on the way, snow warnings remain in place across many critical highways. Flurries and freezing temperatures are forecast to spread north as the week progresses, with authorities urging caution.

A cool, crisp airmass has settled into the likes of Indiana and Ohio, bringing an early taste of fall to many. To the east, a vast cold front is sweeping into New York and Ontario, setting the stage for a biting, potentially record-setting week.
