Weather: Chilly, windy conditions around Aotearoa

Now many of you who've joined us at this early hour will have a good idea of how chilly it is around the country. We are well into winter now.... it was cold and blustery for most of the weekend, as south-westerly winds and rain swept up the motu. In Auckland the Harbour Bridge was closed briefly yesterday but Waka Kotahi is warning it could be closed again at times today. Strong wind watches are also in place across most of the central North Island and much of the South Island Meanwhile, parts of Otago have been covered snow - which has made some roads treacherous, giving kids on holiday a chance to hope on a sled. Here with all the atmospheric details is Weather Watch's Philip Duncan.
