Destructive storm to hit New Zealand
Strong winds in the lower North Island and snow in the South Island disrupted travellers today, but the MetService is more concerned about a rapidly strengthening storm due this weekend.
Westerly winds, forecast to gust up to 120kph, had cancelled flights from Wellington Airport throughout the day, and several sailings on the Interislander Cook Strait ferry had been cancelled or delayed amid 5m swells.
