Happy New Year, New Zealand

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (KTRK) -- At midnight Eastern Time tonight, the big crystal ball drops in Times Square to welcome in 2015.

But first, New Zealand has already rung in the new year, and Australia says "Happy New Year" at 7:00am Houston time with the annual celebration in Sydney Harbour.

And for Las Vegas, meteorologists are telling people to bundle up. It's expected to be 32 degrees tonight.
