For the first time in 80 years

It snowed yesterday in Auckland.  People didn't know what to do with themselves.  They bought up all the bread and milk on the store shelves.  They shut down the mail system.  It only got down to 1 degree, though, so it didn't stick and didn't disrupt traffic.  At higher elevations it did accumulate, though.  All part of a polar blast from the south.
