A “once in a lifetime” polar blast of snow, sleet and gales has blocked roads, grounded flights and cut power across New Zealand.

Blizzards lashing the South Island moved on to the more populated North Island, with falls in central Wellington and southern suburbs of Auckland where snow had not been seen since the mid-1970s.

Some flights were grounded, stranding hundreds of passengers in Christchurch, Queenstown and Dunedin, while road transport was thrown into chaos as major traffic arteries became impassable in both islands.

State Highway One, the main road link between the capital Wellington and Auckland, the largest city, was severed when snow blanketed the Mt Ruapehu volcanic plateau in the centre of the North Island.

  1. A few flakes of snow…. not seen since the 1970s….. big deal.

    Since we are adding carbon to the atmosphere causing the par-broiling of Mother Earth thru anthropogenic global warming, this story of unusual cooling must be oil company propaganda. Because we know only tin foil hat wearing moon landing deniers think otherwise. Al Gore and ex-railroad engineer Rajendra Pauchauri have given us their word.

    Seriously, specific examples of evidence falsifying AGW have didactic value, even if the cumulative body of evidence debunking the AGW hoax is overwhelmingly preponderant.

    A statistical rule cannot be overturned by a counter-example, Publius.

    We’re melting an icecap, Einstein:

    Your strange resentments and sarcasms, implanted by internalizing oil corporation propaganda, have nothing to do with reality.

    Actually, freak snowstorms are completely within the predictions of AGW theory, and do not even constitute a counter-example. Snow will actually become more common as water vapor concentrations in the atmosphere increase- snow is precipitation. Also, it’s quite possible that latitudes close to the polar regions will receive increased polar air as the polar vortices weaken.

    The conceptual frame that occasional cold weather or snow disproves global warming is a talking point, implanted in your head by your exposure to paid AGW denier network propaganda.

  2. The “global warming” hoax is getting a chilling-down.
