   Most of the South Island has had heavy rain causing flooding. In Nelson, a mudslide came down on top of a house, killing 2 the woman who lived there. Heavy rain caused more mudslides in many parts of Nelson and some roads were closed.


  Dunedin and Christchurch have flooding in many parts of both cities. Rivers in both cities have flooded onto the land in some places. Some farms are covered with water and some roads are closed. State Highway 1 (SH1) north of Dunedin was closed today by flooding. People wanting to drive from Dunedin to Christchurch would have a long detour 3 by an inland road.
  The rain should stop tomorrow but snow is forecast for the next two or three days in Dunedin and Christchurch. Even people in the North Island will feel the cold southerly storm from the Antarctic 4 on the shortest day of the year.
