Mt. Hutt Sees Record Early May Snowfall

Mt. Hutt, New Zealand, received 1.2 meters (3.9 feet) of snow over the weekend—an unprecedented total for early May.

Snow drifts exceeded 2 m (6.6 ft) in some areas, with the upper mountain base now around 1.8 m (5.9 ft) and the lower base at 50 cm (1.6 ft). This is a record accumulation for the first week of May, which normally sees just 5 cm (2 inches) of powder.
