Forecasters are describing it as a once-in-a-lifetime event. Snowflakes have been falling in the New Zealand capital Wellington, second city of Christchurch and several other areas. Christchurch rarely gets snow, the few inches that fell on Sunday and Monday is the most in at least 30 years. Services across the country were disrupted on Monday by the snow showers, which were accompanied by heavy rain and high winds.
