Wait what? WHOA!
« on: February 08, 2007, 11:25:16 am »
I woke up this morning...
Got up. Got dressed.
Went downstairs. There's a note from mum by the computer "Lock the door when you leave. have a good day", aww thats sweet. My view pans around and I look out the doors, they have big windows in them see.

Kinda did a double take and was like "holy mother****!"

There is about four inches of snow. Four Inches!
In London! This doesnt happen people, this is mental!

London just doesnt get snw, and when it does it gets  it as thin as it comes! 

Wow!

Heh, the snow failed to penetrate central London where I am. The shield of pollution melts it too quick. There's light snow fall, but nothing is really settling.

Weirdos. Weather on Earth isn't the same for millions of years. It does change! And, it doesn't really change dramatically because of pollution. Yes, that affects it, but doesn't radically change it. Look at the ozone layer, it's regenerating itself, more and more, every day...

And hell I want snow in Bucharest!

Climate doesn't change by itself over a period of 50 years though :P And by change, I mean having 1 foot of snow for weeks every every winter to having barely any.

edit: So that's why last year had the biggest hole in the ozone recorded to date? :P

The idea is that it's regenerating...

Actually pollution can have a signifigant impact on temperature, When we have a highest recorded temp it is always at Heathrow because of all the air pollution caused by the airport.

As for snow up in North Lincs, rubbish as always, although it does seem to have started coming down reasonably now but the floors wet and its not settling.

"May there only be peaceful and cheerful Earth Days to come for our beautiful Spaceship Earth as it continues to spin and circle in frigid space with its warm and fragile cargo of animate life."

Round here we don't get a snow day with less than a meter, that about 39 inches for the metrically challenged. Just kidding, half that might do it depending on how quick and how much more is expected. And of course that is just for the school kids and silly servants...

Awww this sucks. All we got was a few minutes of sleet. And all the weather stations said we'd be covered in it by now.

I want snow, damnit... :'(

Come to Donegal.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

Just a little that refused to settle but predictions are that it'll be covered by tonight.
