It may now be spring but it's snowing across parts of the motu this morning.
State Highway 1 through Desert Road is closed after a dumping of more than 10 centimetres overnight.
It's much the same story for State Highway 5 between Napier and Taupo with slightly less snow, but still enough to cause closures, It's also a sea of white through the streets of Dunedin where drivers are being asked to take care.
Waka Kotahi is advising those around the wintery blast to be extra careful.
