The wood delivery man, Andy, last week said he had been out to Poraiti a lot this winter. It was our second delivery of firewood this year. When the first lot came in May I expected it to last until 2010 but we have had a log fire on nearly every day since then.
Andy, a local, says that he has never seen snow on the hills like we have this year. Even the hills close to Napier are white. Further west, Kaweka mountain is 43 km away as the crow flies and it has been looking like a skiing mountain since May. We have now had countless frosts - it was down to minus 2 this morning... the countryside was lovely and white before sunrise.
So what about global warming?
