That's how it looks in these parts. But we are told in the newspapers that parts of Canada, Siberia and elsewhere are much warmer than normal and a few days ago it was 30 degrees C in Crete - the highest January figure ever in the Med. Yet Florida is having light snow I think (do they know what it is?) and parts of the US are completely buried in the stuff. Global warmig may equal more extremes of weather. So Portishead, Clevedon, Severn Beach and Weston may yet become tropical paradises (they are already I hear you cry!), although I suppose the tide will still go out for miles whatever the climate!

Yet Florida is having light snow I think (do they know what it is?) There was a snow storm across southern US when I was staying in Oklahoma in 1989. There were concerns for the orange crop in Florida. It was quite strange seeing snow and icicles on th oranges :)) Global warming/cooling is a cyclical event as is the shifting of the magnetic poles. It's just Man that's making things worse (IMO). > and parts of the US are completely buried in the stuff. Global warmig may > equal more extremes of weather.
