New Zealand Ski Area – More than 3 feet of snow in one week

By Robert On September 9, 2012 · 4 Comments

So much for our children not knowing what snow is.

Treble Cone ski area in New Zealand has a received “well over one meter of new snow” (more three feet) since last Monday. This on top of a 2.16-meter base.

I thought snowfall was supposed to be a thing of the past.

“According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.

“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” said Viner.

Poor Dr Viner he needs a reality check and to that end he should procure a snow shovel and spend 2 hours a day shoveling snow until global warming comes to his rescue or until reality sets in and he apologises for pandering scare tactics.
