I haven’t heard anyone try to pass off this ‘abnormal’ snow as a result of global warming yet! But someone probably will, since they already have a catch-all clause in that we can expect more extremes of weather!
There is nothing abnormal about this snow, it’s just we’ve had a lot of mildish winters recendtly.
And the mildish winters are caused by what exactly ? :wink:
well yeah that is true like :?

The Gulf Stream.
Global warming is tosh …. the world heats up, it cools down. Global warming is just the latest buzz phrase to claw more money out of us. I couldn’t care less anyway …. my 5 litre Torino is tax exempt so the Government aren’t too serious about the so called problem.
:D
Schools closed, transport at a standstill, councils running out of salt …. UK is a country of wimps ….. one day sprinkling of snow and we can’t cope. Austria, Switzerland, Norway have it worse than us … and for longer, yet their daily lives don’t get affected.

It’s not comparing like with like though. Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Canada etc. have to carry on during the snowy harsh winters because they last weeks and weeks and occur almost every year. When we get severe winter weather here, it doesn’t normally last more than a few days at a time so we have the luxury of being able to close things down and wait fot a thaw, which they don’t have.
I wrote a letter to my Council yesterday, complaining about the exclusively white nature of the snow we had received so far. I have no doubt whatsoever that I shall receive a reply and probably an apology. :wink:

We’ve seen quite a bit of snow lately, which is surprising! There’s more to come, so we’ve been told! I’m going to risk walking down the hill in a bit, so, no doubt, i’ll fall on my a s s..
