I blame YOU for failing to give up your modern lifestyle, causing the Earth to warm up from GHG and getting….cold?
Londoners woke up to a thin dusting of snow amid reports that the “big freeze†could reach every part of Britain.
Forecasters predicted that up to three inches (8cm) could fall on higher ground in London and the South East during the day as the heavy snow spreads south.
Blizzards that have blighted Scotland and the North East in recent days brought up to two inches to the Midlands overnight and could reach the capital, as well as parts of Wales and the South East.
Interestingly, just a decade ago they said snow in Britain would be a thing of the past
Britain’s winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives.

The first two months of 2000 were virtually free of significant snowfall in much of lowland Britain, and December brought only moderate snowfall in the South-east. It is the continuation of a trend that has been increasingly visible in the past 15 years: in the south of England, for instance, from 1970 to 1995 snow and sleet fell for an average of 3.7 days, while from 1988 to 1995 the average was 0.7 days. London’s last substantial snowfall was in February 1991.
And, yes, they did blame it all on anthropogenic global warming. Now, two to three inches of snow in London is quite remarkable. Unusual…..oh, wait……had to go back and read the first article. Kinda sounds like last year, when the UK was nailed by snow and cold weather, the snowiest since 1981/1982.
And, why yes, now that you ask, some weather forecasts are calling for snow flurries next week in Raleigh, NC, which is highly unusual. Must be caused by me driving my Jeep Liberty. Sigh.
