Extreme weather in the UK

[cjlowndes]

lol try getting through the rockys in BC during winter

[alanheath]

@cjlowndes I think you may agree that there is a slight difference between BC and London!

[et1165]

this is perfetic, they kept exagerating how bad it was going to be and snow had already passed manchester and there was 10 inches of snow there that achaully fell

[outithewoods]

i totally agree with you,ive seen deeper snow even here lets see excluding 1963 and 15 foot snow drifts in Lewes Sussex but even during the 70s 80s and 90s notice a slight pattern forming sod global warming have people not noticed the sunspot cycle and weather pattern change over the 22 or so years each time its normal so we get the odd bit of snow big deal

[SabuPtolemy]

Global warming is here to stay, baby! You had better believe it!

Greetings form frigid Southern California where it feels like 38°F right now according to Yahoo!

Brrrrrrrrrrr...........

[alanheath]

I am looking forward to going to California pretty soon!

[cl7player]

Heard that the UK does not have snowplows, though.

[alanheath]

I can remember seeing them as a child.  Here in London one does not see them!

[cl7player]

@alanheath

Much like the American south, then, where a few inches of snow (except in the mountains where snow is common) causes panic.

[zeesham13]

@cl7player, they do, they use grit salt as well

I think you need to film that "Arbejdet macker frej" sign again before the Swedes nick it again. Or it maybe the Norwegens next time, they'll never get it back then.

[alanheath]

I did not know whodunnit. Spending too much time watching about the wife of the Northern Ireland chief minister who had a boyfriend 40 years younger than her.... and why not I say. If she can do it then so can we when we get to her age!! (Of course I was thinking of a girlfriend.....)

[banjopickingbuddy]

Well that sure puts thing in perspective don't it? Well done Alan.

Still I'm pleased I don't live there though.

When ya going to do some more on the camps in Poland with your new camera?

You are creating an important record don't let it lapse.

[alanheath]

I am not certain. I have got some material to post on Chelmno but it is in Polish.

I did not do so much last year. I am also running out of things to say about the camps!

[usenetposts]

I have to admit the UK is colder than Poland at the moment, but it serves them right for giving this guff about carbon to the rest of the world.

[alanheath]

What a twit Gordon Brown. I bet the polar bears are laughing at him right now!

[alanheath]

Do I win five stars for the film?

[usenetposts]

Of course! The star cheque is in the post right now.

[alanheath]

and could you click the one above as well?

[Barciur]

Well the only reason I can see pepole freaking out about it is because snow isn't exactly common in the UK.

[alanheath]

I suppose we ought to be understanding!!

[XBionic1955]

Well, I guess, now in the UK people can fully enjoy the global warming effect with temperature as low as -20

[djbuck1]

Alan you are right. Time for people to "cowboy up," as we say. Here in PA, it has been below freezing for weeks, we have had several snowfalls, and everyone is functioning pretty much as normal.

[Barciur]

Where in PA do you live? My school got delayed today because of... 1 inch of snow :D

[rosomak81]
