It's Snowing on the America's Cup

From Afternoons, 1:14 pm on 12 July 2017

The America's Cup endured rain in Auckland last week, narrowly missed the fog in Wellington yesterday and now it's facing snow in Christchurch. The welcoming parade started at noon, with onlookers needing to wrap up warm, due to the big chill that's hit the country. RNZ's reporter, Maja Burry, is out braving the wintery conditions.
