From Morning Report, 6:48 am on 10 August 2023

It's setting up to be a cold and slippery day for parts of Wellington and the South Island.

That's the word from MetService who've put out a heavy snow watch for inland Buller and western parts of the Tasman district, and a snowfall warning for State Highway 2, Remutaka Hill.

Another snow watch applies for inland Marlborough, the Richmond Ranges and Nelson Lakes National Park.

MetService Meteorologist John Law spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
