Let it snow, let it snow...

They say it's a magical, ‘once in a lifetime event’... snow in Wellington. And not just snow on the hills around the city, we’re talking actual snow on Lambton Quay and Courtenay Place, even on the floor of the Hutt Valley... Is this the flipside of 'global warming'?

If it is, I don’t mind a bit. In fact after the cold and the rain that’s come in with this much talked-about four-day ‘Polar Rodent’ (that’s Jim’s description, not mine) the sight of show falling to ground level in the Hutt makes the cold and discomfort all seem worthwhile...
