Summary
Snow and ice are turning major highways in Otago and Southland into hazardous zones—don’t hit the road without checking conditions first. Key routes like SH6 between Wānaka and Haast, Lindis Pass, Kawarau Gorge, and others are affected. NZTA crews are gritting roads, but drivers must adapt to what they see—especially on high-elevation passes. MetService warns travel plans could be derailed. Always check the NZTA Journey Planner before setting off. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
