The Snowstorm!!!

Since it started snowing here the day before yesterday, all the schools have been closed and it has been really cold and snowy. There is snow all the way to the ocean!!! Its a really weird thing to see snow covered sand dunes and palm trees. The weather also changes really fast. When we got a break in the snow we go out and take a walk on the beach or something. We get out there and five minutes later its hailing. Its pretty crazy. This storm is historic! It snowed in Auckland for the first time in a really long time and there were a bunch of funny videos of Auklanders freaking out on the news. They are also getting record low temperatures all over the place. The storm came up form the Antarctica so fast that it didn't have time to warm up by the time it got here. Its the worst storm recorded here in decades. They don't have snowplows here because it never snows so the streets are full of slush. There are also giant puddles everywhere during the day because its all melting.When you walk your feet get soaked because of the slush. They say the storm is going to keep up for the next few days before melting.
