More Snow Anyone?

We may get a little snow in England in a day or two.  Scotland, being in somewhat cooler climes, may get a little more.

Quite apart from the UK Met Office's ability - or lack of it - to predict weather, the current Arctic Oscillation trend, if continued, could lead to some surprise sprinklings of snow.

I can't predict who will get snow, nor how much.  Boston?  New York?  What I can predict, as a virtual certainty, is that if there is more snow we will see more inane questions from parochial northern hemisphere residents asking what happened to global warming.

I have a novel idea as to the cause of global warming: it's when all those conspiracy theorists see something on the web that they approve of -

and all of their brains overheat in synchrony.

Perhaps not.

Compare our northern hemisphere weather with Australia:
