SNOW! (UK)

[The_root_of_all_evil]

6am, and if I have to be up for something, then this is gotta be it:

[HEADING=2]RAH![/HEADING]
Nice spiderweb as well​

Anyway, supplemental question; Global Warming(Climate Change), True or False?

 

[TeeBs]

Woah! Snow in the UK looks the same as it does here!

 

[FalloutJack]

I thought we'd gotten past global warming and down to global cooling.

Ours is more posh though. The snowflakes only join together after they've been officially introduced.

 

[Berethond]

So that's what snow looks like. (I'm just kidding, I've seen snow before.)

Though it hasn't snowed here in the past 10 years.

I am living in one of very few locations in Canada without snow. It's snowing right now but it's not staying on the ground.

So that's what snow looks like. (I'm just kidding, I've seen snow before.)

Though it hasn't snowed here in the past 10 years.

Ooh! Where do you live?

 

[Defective_Detective]

Cue mass news coverage and hysteria in England whilst the rest of the Kingdom (Scotland, N Ireland and Wales) just get on with it.

Sounds charming.

Central California. We finally just made it down to a low of 31 F last night. If we're lucky it might get down to a low of 25 F. With highs in the 60s.

That's only because we have mass hysteria about everything. I love snow, but our papers start off with Ragnarok and get progressively worse.

I'm so glad you clarified that this was UK snow. I was expecting American snow, and that picture would have confused the hell out of me.

OBVIOUSLY.

OT: I don't know. There's actually a pretty good argument for both. I really don't care either way. Yeah, I know. I'm horrible and apathetic. I'm not, I just attend the George Carlin school of environmentalism.

Haha! Very true, very true. It's just always so amusing watching the national news every December, it's the same story. Mass rail and road closures, talk of nation-wide paralysis, meetings of COBRA... Whereas everywhere else in Europe, almost everything's still running like clockwork.

It's like everyone suffers temporary annual amnesia, and are always surprised by the sudden unexpected "snow crisis".

Welcome to South Dakota, although the snow started coming a bit later this year than usual. The thing that amazes me is that even though though we have a season between October and May where we have snow, people forget how to drive in it in those few scant months of Spring and Summer.

 

[SimuLord]

Global climate change? True. Man-made global climate change? Not buying it to the extent that the climate change alarmists want me to believe, but doing my best to limit my carbon footprint because (a) resources are expensive so being environmentally responsible benefits me directly through lower bills and (b) whatever man's role in climate change, it can't be good, so might as well not contribute to the problem in case Al Gore's right and it's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine).

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Lucky bastard! We don't have any snow here in Wiltshire!!! I love snow, get time off school...

 

[Quaxar]

Heh, we had our first snow here too. Snow is awesome.

 

[XThecommander]

All of you are lucky, I live in a damned desert! O well, atleast it's nice, and cold here.

I heard you guys had a tornado touch down recently too. I made this face --->
and was like, whatsa tornado doing over there? They usually hang out in the midwest with us. Gotta watch out though, they aren't posh like snowflakes; they party hard and wreck your shit.

Whilst climate change likely has something to do with our increasingly snowy winters there is more at work:

Currently the UK is cut off from the jet stream as it has done something weird and moved South, this causes the UK to be subject to only the very cold Siberian winds from North Russia, intern meaning colder conditions in which more snow will fall.

Also due to things that cannot be explained by modern science, there are fluctuations in weather systems between South America and Indonesia (broadly speaking) which causes there to be snow in the UK. These 'Le Nino' or 'La Nina' effects are coupled with the pressure systems in the Atlantic between North Africa and Iceland which when at the same pressure (like the system is currently) causes us to only get cold winds from Siberia by blocking off Southern tropical winds..

Done..

Finland has had snow for about a month now, and it's about -20C outside. Yeah.
