Description: Text reads 'Heavy snowfalls down to sea level forecast'. Two people are trying to drive through snow up to the car windows and are astonished to see a shark fin in the snow nearby. Context: A wintry blast is being described as a once-in-a-lifetime event, bringing snow to the capital city of Wellington and as far north as the Auckland region for the first time since the 1970s. Although the snow was short- lived further north, it brought high excitement and delight. Colour and black and white versions available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).

Description: A large calligraphic 'S' is the first letter for all the words that follow it ...'snow, stadium, shovels, support, spirit, sixth defence, stags, scoring, shield... second'. A second version has the word '...s**t' in place of 'second'; a third version lacks the shield; and the fourth version lacks the slipping shield but has the word 'STAYS!' in large print. The fourth version was prepared for a win, which was indeed the case and the other three were preparing for a loss. Refers to Southland's winning the Ranfurly Shield.. and also the snow and terrible weather. 'Southland prevailed 9-6 in a cliffhanger to end a torrid week for the province, which started when the roof of their beloved Stadium Southland caved in because of heavy snow, and compounded when southern farmers started losing stock in the treacherous weather conditions.' Quantity: 4 digital cartoon(s).
