Y2Kyoto: Snowfalls Are (Again) Just A Thing Of The Past

Y2Kyoto 20 Comments

A Happy Groundhog Day to us all; God bless us, every one!

A ‘Dickensian’ scene of widespread snow on the ground on Christmas Day could be consigned to British history due to climate change, the Met Office says. It’s not impossible that generous blankets of snow will cover British ground at Christmas again some point in the future, it told MailOnline.

  1. I was shovelling about eight inches of global warming in my driveway here on Vancouver Island – and the forecast is for -14C later this week. So much for “experts” and “scientists”.

    1. Yup, and in the next two weeks, I’ll have to drive through all that “climate change” and “carbon tax” from Edmonton to check on my house in B. C.

    2. Experts and scientists have become lepers in my mind. Basically because they have have been made the priesthood of totalitarianism. Listen to the experts and follow the science are two of the most corrupt phrases around and are purely rhetorical devices to justify authoritarian measures. The plebs and proles know Blarney Science when they see it and this rhetoric just diminishes credibility of the scientific process.

  2. Here in the balmy Okanagan, it is currently minus 11 and “feels like” minus 20.
    We had lots of snow yesterday and lots more coming tonight.

    1. Steve – it’s cold all the way to Phoenix and Palm Springs, at least below normal. I don’t understand the article in the MailOnline. It said “It’s not impossible that generous blankets of snow will cover British ground at Christmas again some point in the future…” while the Daily Mail proclaimed on December 20th “UK snow forecast: Britain set for Scandinavian heavy snow that will last to January”, and, “A massive storm approaching the UK in the interim could trigger blizzards across swathes of the country.”

      MailOnline – If you don’t believe in climate change, look our your window.

      1. That snow never arrived, the forecast models changed the next day and it has stayed relatively mild. Temperatures today in the UK generally around 8 to 10 C except in Scotland where it did turn colder briefly.

        Still, the coldest temperatures on record for today in Britain are from the cold snap of Dec 2010, hardly a good illustration of winters being a thing of the Dickensian past.

        1. Peter – OK, but the forecast changed on the 21st and the alarmists get cocky and a couple days later say it can never happen again, most likely. Antarctica had the coldest winter on record in 2021 but we don’t hear about that, only about a giant glacier that would raise oceans several meters in five years if it actually broke off. Maybe they think it will get so cold it will crack in two.

          In 2008 the Telegraph stated that climate refugees would be moving to Antarctica in droves by 2030. I hope they dress warm.

          It’s going to be a cold La Nina winter in the West. The kind that kills pine beetles. BTW, didn’t a cold winter kill them in 2019?

  3. Let us hope it continues to snow here, the snow will cover the bodies stacked like cordwood along the city streets as Covid continues to decimate the population and the crematoria lack both the fuel and the workers to keep up with demand.

    What was the point of this article? That sentence negates their sensationalism. So, apparently, in the past snow was guaranteed? Or not. Hey, this seems like fun. Let me try.

    My Uncle Harry is going to be drunk again this Christmas…except that he’s on the wagon. So, maybe he won’t get soused. Of course, my Aunt is likely to drive him to drinking again, and it is a holiday. So, maybe he will, or will not get drunk this Christmas.

  5. These brain dead jackasses need to come sunbathe in the nude today in Southern Alberta today. Current temperature is six below F. We’ll see how long they spew their BS.

    1. Yup, and that’s why we grind to a halt on those few occasions we do get a solid dose. It simply isn’t worth investing in snow-proof infrastructure that’s so rarely needed.

      And long may this last; horrible white shite.

    1. I was born in Scotland 1954 and remember a long ago abandoned outdoor curing rink in the woods.
      I think it must have dated from the little ice age.

      In those days snow was a rare and exciting event. Especially if it stuck around past 10am.

  9. In 2009 and 2010 the UK was virtually covered in snow, as was much of Ireland and some of the EC:

    Climate shifts do not change in 11-12 years.
