## Resource

Snow’s hitting Canterbury hard—with up to 15cm forecast for Porters Pass and heavy snow warnings across Arthur’s Pass and South Canterbury. Meanwhile, Otago’s flooding crisis just got worse, prompting a State of Emergency in the Waitaki District. Dangerous river levels, slips, and road closures are forcing extreme travel caution. Heavy rain warnings also cover Canterbury’s west, adding to the chaos. Highways are shut down or closed, so if you’re heading out, pack warm gear, food, water, and chains—mandatory on the Crown Range. Stay safe, stay prepared.
