South Island bracing for icy chaos as a brutal southerly blast blankets the region with snow and ice, shuttering key highways like SH73 and SH8, trapping vehicles, and forcing school closures and flight cancellations — while ski fields rejoice in fresh powder. Temperatures could plummet to minus five degrees, with frosty conditions lingering through the weekend. Drivers, slow down and stay alert — winter’s grip is here to stay.
