Snow has fallen to 400 metres in lower parts of the South Island and thunderstorms could be on the cards for the top half.

MetService duty forecaster Bill Singh said an unstable southerly flow is the culprit behind the snow.

"As we move towards the day, the snow level is expected to rise to about 600 metres," he said.

"There has been a warning out for central Otago, inland Clutha and Southland for snow ... to [fall] to 800 metres where between 30 to 40 centimetres of snow is expected to accumulate."

Snow piles up on bicycles outside the transit terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey, after a snowstorm on Thursday
The real reason for Winter Storm Avery in Autumn breaking thousands of snow and cold records is that our Sun is changing as it always does on its 400 year cycle called a Grand Solar Minimum.

This affects global grain yields and food prices. If you think New York's old snow record was one inch and the new record is 6.2 inches, that's not CO2 its a new effects from our Sun on our magnetosphere and cloud patterns around Earth.

From record rains, to record snow and cold, this is the new era we are entering and I try to explain it the best I can using the Avery Winter Storm to show cause and effect.

Man-made global warmists predicted no snow. Instead, we're getting record snow falls

"I believe in the science" is the new catechism of the global warming idiot, who does not want to think and treats doubt as an enemy.

So what do these wilfully incurious believers say now that the heavens have opened up (again) with massive snow falls over the European Alps and north-eastern United States?

See, for 20 years, the top global warming alarmists were warning us there would be no snow.

In 2000, for instance, came this famous prediction from the then centre of global warming alarmism:
According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".

"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.

The first snowstorm of the season to hit the New York City area brought several inches of snow, slowing Thursday's evening commute to a crawl, after contributing to at least seven deaths as it swept across the country.

From St. Louis to the South and into the Northeast, snow, freezing rain, and in some parts, sleet, made driving tricky and closed schools Thursday.

In New York City, the wet snowfall and wind gusts Thursday downed numerous tree branches. Police advised people to stay indoors and avoid the roads. Commuters also were advised to avoid the Port Authority Bus Terminal - which is also used by some to travel to New Jersey - due to overcrowding.

Mary DeMichael knew it was going to snow. But, listening to weather forecasts throughout the week, she believed only a few inches would fall.

The City of Poughkeepsie resident was expecting the first snowfall of the season would be "something nice," she said.

"It was so awful yesterday, I was slipping and sliding all over the place," she said. "I wasn't prepared for how much snow fell."

Few in the region were.

Dutchess residents spent Friday digging out from a storm that saw snow accumulations more than double expected totals. And though area municipalities say they were prepared to clear the roads, the intensity of the storm Thursday evening created brutal driving conditions for the commute.
