BERLIN – Heavy overnight snowfall disrupted air travel across western Europe Friday, forcing more than 800 flight cancellations and leading to major delays in Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

Germany appeared the hardest hit by the snow, with more than 600 flights canceled, schools forced to close and highways clogged with traffic after scores of accidents that killed at least three people and injured dozens.

I know, I know.... this is “weather” and not “climate”

still, it’s always funny (to me) when liberal socialists have a chance to experience cognitive dissonance

do they ever really experience cognitive dissonance??

or is there always some “convenient” way to wish away all these “inconvenient” facts???

This can’t be true. Al Gore said the world is warming at an alarming pace, so winter has ceased to be.

It is the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption from this spring that is affecting the weather. The Gulf Stream alone wouldn’t do this. It takes both of them and reduced sun activity. We have a little ice age at work here.

The ash plume is the cause for this weather.

In 1783, for example, a volcanic fissure in Iceland called “Laki” violently erupted. The sulfur dioxide gases carried with its plume caused increased death rates all over Europe over the next month or two, but that was nothing compared to the meteorological effects. The winter of 1784 was one of the worst on record in both Europe and North America — the Mississippi River even froze at New Orleans!

And if you think that was bad, you should know it wasn’t nearly as significant as the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia, which caused the Northern Hemisphere to experience “The Year Without a Summer” in 1816. Frost was reported in Connecticut in June, famine was widespread in the U.S. and Europe, and — less importantly, but interestingly — the lousy summer caused Mary Shelley and John Polidori (and their friends) to stay indoors while on vacation, resulting in the novel Frankenstein and the short story The Vampyre.

Al Gore must be some place in Europe.

Everywhere he goes it snows like crazy.

Don't feel guilty.....

.....The leftists don't mind saying that weather is AGW when it is hot.

And they will try to link cold to AGW anyway.

As far as I am concerned, they started it, so it's open season.
