It snowed in Miramar! It snowed in Wellington CBD, it's snowed in Auckland. It snowed. And it flashed and banged in the sky. The power has flickered on and off.

If you could pass on this picture we would be most grateful. People can get in touch directly with Mark Westerby mark@storybox.co.nz . Do come and check out the project during REAL too. It's prett
