The Greenhouse Effect dumps snow over Wellington and a lot more besides, leading up to reglaciation in 2020 during the next solar minimum. Hopefully you have fibre laid across Africa by then ready for a billion people to move in. You should put it across the Sahara now in preparation. It will be easier to do before building and road construction starts. <http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10745187 Hundreds of air travellers and motorists were left stranded as a polar blast swept up the South Island - and last night gave Wellington its biggest snowfall in 40 years. Worse is predicted for the North Island - including Auckland - today. Last night, rescuers finally managed to free 100 people who had been trapped in their vehicles on the Rimutaka Hill Rd, between Wellington and Wairarapa. Inspector Mike Coleman of police communications said officers had earlier urged people "to stay in their vehicles rather than get out and walk". Emergency services used a four- wheel-drive vehicle and a snow plough to clear the road and rescue the motorists by 9pm. Other drivers were still trapped in parts of the Wairarapa. Nineteen flights from snowbound Queenstown were cancelled yesterday. Passengers had to take buses to other cities or wait until the weather cleared. For the first time in more than 40 years snow fell heavily in Wellington, the MetService said. The city's temperature dropped 8C to 5C in half an hour. Today, Auckland will have its turn. Snow is forecast to fall and possibly settle on the tops of the Waitakere and Hunua ranges and the peaks of the Coromandel Peninsula. WeatherWatch chief analyst Philip Duncan said the polar outbreak was unlike anything he had seen. > Mqurice
