Summary
Weather chaos hits Otago and South Canterbury with snow, ice, and flooding forcing multiple state highways shut down — including SH8, SH85, SH87, SH1, and SH88 — with detours in place. NZTA urges drivers to avoid closed roads, pack essentials if travel is unavoidable, and drive cautiously in wet conditions — never attempt to cross floodwaters. Stay safe out there.
