You only had to look out your front door on Monday to get an appreciation of how beautiful our town is - especially when it snows. The snow caused some disruption on roads, but no injury crashes were reported to police and most drivers heeded warnings from the Queenstown Lakes District Council and its contractor, Downer EDI. Although many people made the most of a snow day, Tracey Roxburgh and James Beech braved the roads and the cold temperatures with their cameras.
