Wintry Conditions in South to get Worse.

MetService forecasters have issued a new Special Weather Advisory for all southern districts. Bitterly cold southerly winds are expected to peak overSouthland and Otago on Tuesday morning.

Now, Rotorua's not a bad place and I'm not knocking it, however when you get a chance to swap a winter there for three months in the balmy climate of Rarotonga you'd have to be a bit of a masochist to turn it down.
