This may be borderline OT, but since thread start includes the words ”Weekly news roundup”, I note briefly (while stipulating weather is not climate):
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/8166098/Snow-shuts-Edinburgh-airport-as-big-freeze-grips-Britain.html
Key sound-bites from above:
”Britain shivered in some record low temperatures on Saturday night – including a “ridiculously low” minus 17C in Wales”.
”. . . could see readings down to minus 20C in Scotland later this week.”
UK’s lowest ever recorded temperature in Nov. was minus 23.3C on 14th, 1919.
Maybe they’ll break that 91-year old low temp. . . .
Of course it was that cold already a week ago here on the east slopes of the North Cascades in WA. . . .
Damn that global varming all to heck.. It’s worse than an overbudget Hollyweed climactic change movie w/ Obammy as AliBaba and his 40 thieves , the czars.
