Same thing happening here in the sth Island of NZ, and we have giant icebergs from antartica that are thousands of years old floated their way down here, amazing really, unfortunately it is not a good sign at all, it just goes to show that global warming is infact happening, climates are changing everywhere, it is most unusal for Aussie or NZ to have snow at this time of year ,we are both heading into summer, the temps have been anything but,although they are rising now,infact some places are really hot for this time of year, a temp we would expect in Jan-Feb not November,NZer's are getting serious about environmental issues and always have been, now we just need the rest of the world to follow suit.
