Winter still won't let go in the southern hemisphere
Global Warming continues to punish New Zealand with soaring temperatures. Or not:
Well over 100 cars remained stuck on the snow-covered Napier Taupo Road last night, and several hundred people spent a second night in makeshift accommodation after a heavy snowfall cut off State Highway 5. State Highway 1 between Taihape and Turangi was also closed because of the bad weather. A further 30 centimetres of snow was expected to fall in parts of the central North Island last night and today.
