APRIL 6 Sothern England and its snowing. Is this global warming?

Pointless question

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.

the spectacular term is climate exchange. using the term worldwide warming has been regarded as a deceptive term. although, i could desire to indicate out that some components of the globe Are warming, such because of the fact the polls. There are drastic variations in climate varieties worldwide. Now despite if it relatively is organic, guy made, or a blend of the two is up for debate. even though it nevertheless is a sturdy theory to do what we can to decrease carbon emissions, decrease our use of fossils fuels (if purely for the reason there's a finite volume of it and while it relatively is long previous, now we've not something to interchange it with), recycle, locate decision supplies of capability ext. do not blame Al Gore for this. the information IS actual, our worldwide temperature Is transforming into and having adverse outcomes, a number of that's surprisingly chilly climate in Europe and the jap Coast of the U. S.. There are additionally droughts, floods, greater effective hurricane activity, etc. all worldwide huge. there is not any question the climate is changing. Does it relatively count quantity why? join the answer, not area of the subject. Oh, and the dinosaurs? yet another remember fullyyt as that climate exchange became brought about with the aid of a meteor awesome the earth and inflicting a 'white out' that lasted for years and years and ushered interior the 1st Ice Age.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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?

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

No, it's weather.

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