<\/a>AUIP staff<\/a> in Christchurch are enjoying working from home today as the city has been hit with its heaviest snowfall in 16 years<\/a>. Residents woke to a foot of snow that had fallen overnight. That snow coupled with further heavy falls during the morning has brought Christchurch to a relative standstill with the airport, universities, many shops and public areas closed. Forecaster WeatherWatch<\/a> said temperatures in Christchurch had plummeted to -9 degrees Celsius (16 degrees Fahrenheit) this morning, and with further snow expected until later this afternoon, staying at home with the heater and fire is the advised (and desirable) option!![\"\"](\"http:\/\/auip.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/07\/img_20031-e1311568194528.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
