In August 2011, the whole of New Zealand encountered spectacular snows.

Canterbury and the deep south saw prodigious snowfalls, bringing everyday life to a near standstill,Wellington was blanketed by its first snow in over 20 years, and areas further north,

including Auckland, saw snow for the first time in decades.

White Out is a tribute to these historic weather events.

It showcases scenes at once funny, scenic, quirky, and simply beautiful

– as submitted by everyday people right around the country.
