1. BBC Newshour was whining about it this am

during their broadcast. :D

[Subdivisions]

[ClarkUSA]

5. Actually the cause is global warming, which is slowing the Gulf Stream = less layer inversion

The result of global warming for Great Britain is a much less temperate climate during the winter, according to climate scientists.

9. Indeed. If this effect does start, it won't be gradual and it will be dramatic.

Could be the first warning of a very, VERY bad thing.

[ClarkUSA]

21. Absolutely.

14. The Blitz -- stiff upper lip. Two inches of snow -- panic.

You should have made it snow on them Adolf -- you would have won.

[whistle]

15. Charles Dickens time

[LiberalEsto]

16. How often do they get snow there?

You would think they would get a little bit every so often.

[Puzzler]

17. Oh for christsakes... I was born there...

... and snow is not unusual in London.

[tjwash]

18. London...come on. If it was snowing in San Diego or Los Angeles THAT would be news.

19. I'm heading to London on Saturday -- I hear it's a mess

My UK colleagues emailed to tell me that everything there has shut down. I live in Maine, so it looks like a lot of fuss over nothing. But then, Londoners aren't prepared with snowplows and snow tires the way we New Englanders are.

20. Britain is far more temperate

than its northerly location would otherwise suggest.

But with climate change, who knows?

22. It's 52 degrees here in central NJ -- !!!
