New Zealanders are being advised to batten down the hatches and stay away from the beaches as a huge storm bears down on the country.The wild weather is expected to bring extreme conditions over the next 48 hours, including gale force winds, heavy rain and bitterly cold temperatures.The same weather system is already causing major problems in Tasmania with thousands of homes left without power as strong winds, snow and surf batter the state.The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that Tasmanians were experiencing their coldest day in decades.A severe wind warning is already in force for Wellington, Wairarapa and the Marlborough Sounds and there was a possibility there could be severe gales for a time tomorrow in other areas of the North Island, Marlborough and also north Canterbury.
