Antarctic cold snap sweeps New Zealand's South Island, shuts roads and schools

An intense cold front originating from Antarctica affected New Zealand's South Island, causing significant disruptions. The extreme weather brought snowfall at sea level in areas like Dunedin, leading to road closures, school shutdowns, and canceled public transportation. Authorities warned of dangerous driving conditions after several vehicle accidents were reported. Snow was also observed on beaches in Christchurch, an unusual occurrence. The MetService predicted the cold spell would continue for two more days, with potentially record-low temperatures expected.
