Snows, Heat Wave Disrupt Ministry Climate Woes Make Mischief

Business as usual saw itself disrupted yesterday at the Ministry of Magic, when a prankster in Magical Maintenance (whose name has not yet been released) decided to fiddle with the climate spells in place. Unfortunately, he lacked the necessary skill to not make everything go horribly awry, resulting in a near-complete shutdown of the premises while maintenance and the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes worked to set things to rights! Various areas of the building saw weather ranging from severe heat to light rainfall, from white-out blizzards to eerie fogs. _____________________________________________________________

Most notably, the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures first saw itself buried in three feet of snow, only for a bout of heat to set in, melt it all, and flood the floor! Non-essential employees have been given today off while the building is cleaned up for the second time this year. Fortunately, there were no deaths reported, though no fewer than five employees suffered from heat stroke and one gentleman lost a thumb to frostbite. AUTHOR: GULLIVER DORAN
