Just the weather I'd wish for John Key!
There's
a blizzard warning in effect for ... Hawaii?!
The
National Weather Service has issued blizzard warnings for the summits
of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea volcanic peaks, both located on the Big
Island of Hawaii, in advance of a vigorous storm system.
The
warnings, which were issued at about 3:39 a.m. on Wednesday, local
time, warn of "periods of heavy snow and low visibility on the
high summits." Winds have already been increasing, the warning
statement notes, and the warning is in effect through 6 p.m. HST on
Wednesday for elevations above 11,500 feet. Wind gusts above 90 miles
per hour are anticipated, along with "possible lightning
strikes."

Snow
for southern Europe
Severe
Weather Europe is predicting snow on the African coast. Just when you
think you have seen it all extreme weather really turns it on.
Welcome to a time of abrupt climate change when the polar vortex no
longer knows any bounds.
It takes a lot for Moscow to grind to a halt.
500
accidents an hour: Snowbound Moscow stuck in worst ever Christmas
traffic

December, 2014
Moscow
was gripped by the worst gridlock ever seen as unexpectedly severe
snowfall hit the Russian capital on Christmas Day, literally
paralyzing the city. Police registered up to 500 road accidents an
hour and 200 flights were delayed.
The
longest traffic jam stretched 60km, or over 37 miles, Russia’s
online road traffic monitoring service Yandex Probki (Yandex traffic
jam), reported.
Yandex
rates jams from 0 to 10 points.
"Guys,
remember this historic day. It is the first time when 10 points was
reached so early and for so long. It has been like that for 7 hours
already. More is to come,” Yandex spokeswoman Elina Staviskaya
posted on Facebook.
More
than 11,000 units of specialized equipment have been struggling to
cope with such a large snowfall (25cm, 10 inches) in so short a
period.
