Never mind the record snow, computer models say they are doomed!
Long-term projections for New Zealand are for a decline in snowfall as temperatures continue to climb. Across the ditch in Australia, even though they are currently enjoying a great start to the ski season, they too will see a long-term decline in snowfall, snow depth, and a retreat of snowlines to higher elevations.
Many New Zealand ski areas are closed today because of too much cold and snow.

You know, all of these lamenting fools could cheer themselves up quite easily. They simply need to tweak the models so that they reflect reality, instead of modeling their depression, self loathing and anxieties.
