Jack Morrison2026-07-06T18:38:44.000Z

Snow in July? This country is cooked. I blame the govt for not sorting out the roads properly

Rowan Blake2026-07-06T18:58:44.000Z

Leo McKenzie2026-07-06T19:06:44.000Z

Jack Morrison2026-07-06T19:49:44.000Z

Jack Morrison2026-07-06T20:39:44.000Z

Rowan Blake2026-07-06T19:59:44.000Z

honestly these live blogs are useless just give me the forecast and move on

Rowan Blake2026-07-06T20:22:44.000Z

facts, just refresh the met service page it's faster

Leo McKenzie2026-07-06T20:06:44.000Z

Can we talk about how bad the kaikoura road is every time it rains? it's a joke

Mia Carter2026-07-06T20:44:44.000Z

100% the council is useless. that road needs proper drainage not just a slap and a prayer

Reese Morgan2026-07-06T20:19:44.000Z

wonder if the snow will hit christchurch. keen for a day off tbh

Reese Morgan2026-07-06T21:00:44.000Z
