  1. This is the problem with the GW believers. If it gets hotter or colder, it's global warming, if it gets wetter or dryer, it's global warming. So whatever happens, it is taken as proof of global warming. This is exactly why it is religion rather than science.

    I also remember frost and snow in April in my youth (1950's) in Southern Britain


  2. No. I'm reading an Edwardian diary of 1903.  You think this is bad.  They had heavy snow by the middle of April in that year and hail storms towards the end of the month.

    Meanwhile, the most sensible folk on the planet, the people of Yorkshire, have a saying, which reads like this; "Never cast a clout till May is out..."  The word 'clout' comes from a Yorkshire Dialect known as Tyke [Tike?].  It means such as a layer of clothing or a garment.

    In orther words, we should continue to wear the same heavy winter rags right thru' January and on through May.  Then in June allow ourselves a few days of respite when we might not wear a tie.

    Otherwise keep the wellies and raincoat handy near the front door.

    Whenever I see someone from the Global Warming Party on TV, they are usually a fresh-faced youthful person who has only experienced weather for about 25 years.

    As soon as they open their mouths to speak, I know right away they are not talking to me, a seriously expereienced pensioner, but that they are talking to school childen who are about 10 years old.

    Why do I think that?  Because what they say is based upon a fantasy and not the facts.

    A 25-30 year old recently graduated student is not going to get past me.  I am a pensioner of 66 years experience.  I can remember snow in June, raging storms right through the summer months.  Monster floods in East Anglia in the 1950s when whole towns were abandoned to their fate.

    Just stop trying to make me laff....my sides are aching so much.

  3. It's not snowing here in Hastings

  4. nah dont stres

    go look at snowflakes or build a snow man :) have fun :)

  5. Hello,

    (ANS) This is completely NORMAL UK weather for this time of year and has nothing to do with global warming. I have seen snow in May one year when I was much younger.

    Ivan

  6. no. it has happened many times before.

  7. If course it is! If it rains..it's global warming, if it snows.. it's global warming, if it's hot..it's global warming, if it cools..it's global warming. if the earth's climate and or temperature doesn't stay exactly the same...it's global warming and us fossil fuel burning evil doer's are the cause!!!! Don't make me call algore!

  8. We're in the Midlands and have a good covering of snow. Its normal.

    Too much is said about global warming, seen snow deeper than this at this time of year

  9. global warming doesn't exist.

    The temperatures are constantly changing .

    The UK used to be far warmer than it is today. Look at the street names ,  Vine street , Vin yard etc.

    You cant grow grapes in the UK now so why could you before.

    Global warming is yet another control scam.

  10. yes, it's due to global warming.

  11. It's not snowing where I am  and I'm in the South

  12. no, its fun

  13. Pointless question

  14. I made a snowman in 1947, [ in Tunbridge Wells Kent ] and traces of his hard packed snow lasted until the end of may, but "warming" doesn't seem to be the appropriate word does it?

  15. No - global warming is about a trend, not an individual event, such as last year's flooding or this year's snow.

  16. Yeah same. But when it snows later GW alarmists scream that GW is causing Global Cooling. WTF????

  17. What a load of ROT!  April has always been the unpredictable month.  Global Warming!  You are brainwashed.

  18. 13.45 in Nth Lincs & it has just started to snow

    and it doesn't feel as tho' we have global warming at all

  19. Yes....in reverse||| A few years ago the same scientist  were forecasting an ice age

  20. This is a pretty good source. Visit this site: http://allathazel.blogspot.com/

  21. barry, we grow wonderful grapes here now, british wine is excellent. the romans hated it here because it was wet and cold, their expensively imported vines didnt grow well enough for decent wine, and the locals all drank some filthy muck brewed from grain.....

    more weather memories;

    my parents village used to be snowed in nearly every year for a day or several, it hasnt happened since '85.

  22. No its normal weather, my mum said she could remember it snowing in may many years ago.

  23. no,  all you british complained that global warming was in full force during the winter because you didnt see any snow.

    Deal with it.

  24. " I hope so , i am freezing my **** of hear , i want to get out and feel the heat "

  25. You live in the northern hemisphere.

  26. No, it's weather.

    Global warming has to do with climate, determined by the long term trend which shows warming globally.

  27. Hi!!!  This is not a serious issue to us natives, we can have snow any time. In 1901 the first Wednesday in June the Derby in Epsom was run in a snow storm, and the trainer of the horse that won the race, put butter on the horses` feet to stop the snow from clinging to the hooves, and racing plates.

    An old Bob Hope joke. " i went to England and saw the

    winter, spring, summer, and fall."

    But Bob we have that here.

    Yes i know but NOT in the same day.
