Today's climate change snapshot: "White Christmas only in most Canadians' dreams"
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2006/12/21/green-christmas.html

... Places like Quebec City and Thunder Bay, Ont., "are going to see, for the first time in history, a green Christmas." So will most of British Columbia, most of Central Canada and the Atlantic region.

Montreal, which used to have a white Christmas four out of five years (80 per cent of the time), now gets snow two out of three years (65 per cent), he said.

1. Our grass is still growing. Messed up.
My fingers should be falling off from the cold right now. Instead I saw someone in a tee shirt outside walking this morning.

3. It's been freezing and foggy here in the UK
We get a White Christmas so rarely you can bet on it at the bookies

but it's "wait and see". I've been walking to work in shorts and a T-shirt. Normal here is between two and three feet of snow and about -10C.

after the October snow disaster, it has been NOTHING but green pastures.
