New Zealand can be a bit of a show off sometimes. This is looking at the mountains towards the north end of Lake Hawea from the highway leading to Haast pass. I happened to be there in 2015 just as the first proper dump of winter snow was hitting the South Island. Quite happily I seemed to avoid all the bad weather except for 1 night of heavy rain. But I did get close enough to see some of the evidence of its passing.
