The UK has been plunged into snowy chaos this week with some of the lowest temperatures I can remember, and up to 2 feet of snow in some places. Where I live we have four to six inches of snow, but even that has still made it impossible to drive; the main roads are passable, but the roads around our house are now frozen, compacted snow and thus very slippery. Even getting on and off the driveway has proved tricky.
For the last two days I have worked from home, but today I made it into the office in London where the is no snow; not a single flake. I commute by train and there is deep, crisp and even snow all the way down from my home to Euston station in North London, but not a flake to be seen in the West End. As I sit here it’s hard to believe that there is so much snow at home.
This stunning image from NASA shows just how snowy the UK is this week:
Global warming anyone? I was in Greece for the holiday season and while other years temperatures hover around 1-2C, this year it maxed out at 30C in some places. Then Florida gets ice?
With events like this “The day after tomorrow” style events seem very likely!
Good luck with #p52 btw
Thanks Maria.
The weather has definitely changed during my lifetime and noticeably in the last few years. It has seemed a bit like The Day After Tomorrow for the last few days.
Love your blog design btw; I see you love DnB and coffee – don’t we all :)
I personally don’t believe in Global Warming, rather the idea that a few very intelligent business men are making a fortune from people…
Soon it will turn into governments controlling what people eat, where they go, what they do, etc.
It’s all a conspiracy!!!
Perhaps Giles Coren’s piece will explain why we should remember one swallow does not make a summer.

I hadn’t seen that article from Giles Coren – very funny but very true as well.
