The blizzard conditions for North Iceland that the Icelandic Met Office warned about last Monday has been realised. RÚV reports that the north has been buried under heavy snowfall, and there is a weather advisory for tomorrow strongly advising caution for those intending to travel through the region.

As RÚV reports, snow and ice across North Iceland have already caused some minor accidents in Akureyri, and residents have been diligent about switching to their winter tires. The onset of snow across North Iceland was very sudden, catching many off-guard, and the fun is hardly over yet.

Many are still enjoying the fall foliage this time of year, but it looks like the dead of winter in one part of New England. Mount Washington State Park shared photos this week of a snowy, frozen landscape on the New Hampshire peak.

"The last couple of days of the season marked 128 MPH winds, bitter temps and the white stuff. Brrrrr," New Hampshire State Parks wrote on Facebook.

Sunday marked the end of the summer season at the park. Facilities won't open again until late spring 2020.

Last week, the Mount Washington Observatory shared photos of a "winter wonderland" at the summit. They've also reported 100+ mph winds resulting in "rime ice feathers" as high as 3 feet.

A late-season cold snap has interrupted warm spring weather with snow falling in parts of the South Island.

Canterbury High Country and Central Otago bore the brunt of the southerly cold front, with snow accumulating as low as 600m in Naseby.

Naseby resident Kila Hepi said there had been more snow in the last three weeks than they'd had all winter.

"Oh it's just another day isn't it. When you live at altitude you expect this to happen," she said.

One Sheffield resident, Virginia Stevens, was making the most of the unexpected dusting, donning a dressing gown to take photos outside.

"It's absolutely ridiculous that we get it at this time of year. It's crazy, but it's nice.
