'Tis winter in the antipodes and New Zealand is getting some exceptional weather - from the New Zealand Herald:
Let it snow: Temperatures to plunge to record low
The bitter cold snap is set to smash a weather record that has stood for more than a century as an icy chill takes hold of the South Island.
Temperatures are set to plunge to a frigid minus 15C across the South Island tonight - but it's expected to be even colder overnight Saturday.
Niwa forecaster Ben Noll said forecasters were keeping a close eye on Queenstown where it could reach one of the coldest temperatures since record keeping began 145 years ago.
And it is going to get colder still from all indications. Time to inject some common sense into energy policies and get fuel for heat delivered to everyone. They are going to need it in the next ten years if not sooner. Our sun is very very quiet.
