This is the clearest map for alerts we've seen for at least two months. The one north of New Plymouth is a road closure due to mudslides and will be gone sometime after lunch. The other two are road closures for works and have a few weeks to go.

🥶❄❄Significant winter weather event.

Well, winter is certainly going to hit with a bang.😠☺

We haven't seen an overall weather pattern like this for many years. It should be taken seriously.

We've already sent 10 alerts for this developing system, including snow watches, several road snow alerts, plus wind warnings.
We expect to send at least 60 to 80 more alerts based on past experience.

The video shows where snow could fall, and the likely amounts, Alsplus o where it will be near or below zero degrees for a good deal of time.

If you're driving, we have NZ's only public Txt Road alerts at www.road.lert.info and for general and emergency alerts, www.lert.info is NZ's most advanced alert service available, with free and paid options.

We're sending alerts all the time to help people be safer and more informed. We'd like to help you, too.

Some good advice.

You should complete a sales and purchase agreement when you're buying a vehicle privately: https://www.consumerprotection.govt.nz/help-product-service/cars/paying-registering-insuring-car/car-sales-contracts-warranties

It's a good idea to complete a sales and purchase agreement because it’ll give you some documented evidence of the sale. It could come in handy if there’s a post-purchase problem you can’t resolve and need to take the matter to the Disputes Tribunal.

The Consumer Protection website has more information on car sales contracts and warranties, including a template for a basic sales agreement for a private sale: https://www.consumerprotection.govt.nz/help-product-service/cars/paying-registering-insuring-car/car-sales-contracts-warranties
