Indeed:
Photographed by me this afternoon.
But, as we all know, this is weather, not climate.
It’s only the climate if it gets too hot.

We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

I have to say, having had a bit of geek crush on dynamical systems for some time, that the Jet stream flapping about like it has been for the past year or so is a bit of a cause for concern. Not least because my car doesn’t start on cold mornings.
Just because you paint a few things white, don’t expect to fool us! We’re sofisticated, we are! Global warming is happening, despite the evidence!
And if you’re worried about Santa Claus, he’ll find a way to adjust! He can move to the South Pole, where the Ice will last a few years longer. The reindeer can live on penguins and sealions, and be safe from marauding polar bears.
No Worries, true believers!
Well, there’s more than an inch of snow here in Northampton, but as yet no general panic as it’s still possible to get to the chip shop and Patel’s alcopop emporium.
my apologies to muslims , atheists et al

You got a dusting – big whoop. I have 14 inches of fresh Utah powder on my front lawn. Or should I say – 14 inches of climate change . . . ?
I’ve got twelve inches but don’t use it as a rule.
I wonder if they are snowed in at the University of East Anglia?
The line given to me by a warmist friend is that the warming has caused the jet streams to shift thus producing the icy down draft from the North.
Time for something different to stretch the imaginations?
At least it’s not boring.
^ Im afraid your warmist friend may be right, looks to me like its being stressed into a turbulant state. Obviously the cause of which is open to specultion.
Well then, here in Israel it is the climate alright: about 15 degrees F above normal, and no rain in sight. Or maybe it is weather after all?:-)
I’ve found that using the word “climate change” instead of “snow” is a good way of annoying colleagues, in the same way as I generally use the term “working from home” to mean “sleeping”.
Ha! Call that Snow… to paraphrese Crocodile Dundee “. Soft Towney 🙂 Thank goodness fo nice big 4WDs…
La Niña?
There is an article from the Independant website from the year 2000 headed snow is now a thing of the past which I believe is now near the top of their most read posts. Reading it in 2010 is a bit of a laugh.
Newrouter, I am an atheist and there is no reason to apologise to me, I love Christmas. I even love the cheesy Christmas songs that are played ad nauseum on the radio.
Here ’tis
This is my favourite part-
…because that’s what the internet is like. It’s like a series of tubes, with air blowing down them.
Ah, a decade ago when the internet was shiny and new and Tony Blair baffled a Labour conference eulogising about “virtual tourism”[1] and the internet was going to do everything, except the things it actually does.
[1] Because looking at a grainy jpeg via dialup is just like going to Jamaica, honest it is.
I don’t mind the gulf stream going walkabout, but I do object to Sydney having the wettest spring and summer for 20 years! Get the Gulf Stream back under control, I say!
Gosh. Anybody would think that the likely outcome of a hotter planet would be more extreme weather variations and more variation in the Gulf Stream (to name but one)…
That would be bad for anybody living above, say, 48 degrees North…
One of the more interesting considerations is that human caused warming has been keeping a global natural cooling cycle at bay for a couple of decades but will soon be overwhelmed….
Any hoo… my issue with the whole thing remains simple. Burning hydrocarbons, especially ones you get from your political enemies is a stupid thing to do when we have access to fairly unlimited solar and nuclear power sources.
