Queenstown Lakes District Council said the Crown Range Road was still closed due to snow but contractors were working to get it cleared. A heavy snow watch was in force for Fiordland, south of Dagg Sound, and Southland, south of Mossburn, and Clutha, with periods of snow above 400m forecast until 4pm today. Mr Coutts said the South would see a gradual improvement tomorrow and a cold, slightly windy but fine weekend.
