However, spokeswoman Sue Baird said while it was “filthy cold” on Tuesday, the district had sunshine and blue skies. “At this stage we are not aware of any potential problems but we are keeping a watching brief.” Further north in Banks Peninsula, farmers on higher ground were experiencing moderate snowfall.
