The Independent, 2000:
Snow is starting to disappear from our lives. Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain's culture, as warmer winters which scientists are attributing to global climate change produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries
Global warming, the heating of the atmosphere by increased amounts of industrial gases, is now accepted as a reality by the international community
According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event". "Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.

It’s already happened for us. Of course, I helped it along by moving the family from Wisconsin to southern Georgia and finally to Phoenix, AZ.
If we really want to see it, we’ll drive out to Flagstaff this winter.
From 19 years ago and it’s snowing in Chicago today and we got down to 13 degrees for a low here this morning where I live in Nor Calif.
And yet there is snow today in Chicago. What’s up with that? October snow?
The looney-ness of these eco-nut “professors” is beyond comprehension. This guy should be ashamed of himself...and do the only honorable thing left to him. Do it today, you political-agenda-driven cretin. I suggest a short rope and a chair.
Seems like I remember Al Gore saying the same thing right before a blizzard cancelled his speech in New York City several years ago...
From the article: “.....According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.”
I’ve seen it too often. Since this “Dr.” has now made this statement the worst snow storms in history will hit the U.K. BIGTIME.
When they have sleet in London the entire population goes into panic. You’d think they’d be happy with this global warming stuff.

I’ve been shoveling cold white global warming off my driveway for the last 4 days now.
OOPS! I see this article is as gray as me.
Oh you mean the same East Anglia university who got caught with their pants down on email scheming on how to fudge climate data to prove their bogus hypothesis? That East Anglia?
I dont think it was a blizzard that canceled his speech. It was record cold temperatures for that date in NYC around 0 degrees, if I remember correctly.
Minneapolis had a blizzard this year in early October - it may have hit Chicago as well.
God grant it be so. Here, it’s been coming earlier and staying longer.
Horse Puckey:
Idaho with early record snows. Relatives in the mid west and NJ texted us about snow there, last night.
OH, SWEET AUTUMN, WHERE ART THOU?

Add white to North Idahos fall colors. And dont blame those beautiful leaves for shivering when theres no wind.
Wednesdays high in Coeur dAlene was only 39. Lows in the lower 20s were forecast for this morning.
Better get used to it, said Press Climatologist Cliff Harris, who in 2014 predicted in print, no less that 2019-2020 could see record snows. This has led to the earliest winter weve ever seen, he said Wednesday after dusting off from CdAs second snowfall in less than two weeks.
We had icicles on our house at 10 a.m. today, Harris lamented. In my 30 years here, Ive never seen icicles in October. Never.
Overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, Dalton Gardens reported nearly 4 inches of snow, Harris said. Rathdrum saw 4.5 inches, while Coeur dAlene registered a more modest but extraordinarily unusual 1.8 inches.
Rewind to the last weekend in September, when 1.1 inches fell at Cliffs weather station, and you have a two-fisted phenomenon.
Going back to 1895, weve never had this happen before a record snow in September and a record snow in October, Harris said.
He further noted that Februarys record 56-inch dump shattering the previous February record of 39.5 inches is shaping 2019 up as a potential calendar year calamity.
Harris was urged to go out on an icy limb and make some educated guesses on a couple of key dates. Heres what he said:
Halloween: High temp 48, low 37. (We couldnt get him to predict rain.)
Christmas: 95% chance of a white Christmas. The average, he says, is 60%.
As to the why, Harris and his better half weather-wise, Press Meteorologist Randy Mann, insist that the absence of sunspots and presence of increasingly cold waters in the Pacific Ocean add up to North Idaho snow. This winter, maybe tons of it.
The 1-inch snowfall in September 1926, that was a fluke, Harris said. This is a whole different pattern here, with virtually no sunspots and the Pacific waters cooling.
now is starting to disappear from our lives. >>>>>
Buahahahahahahaha!
Tell it to Inuktuk.
The Maunder minimum shows us that we are now in global cooling. Ice is coming back big tome.
It has snowed here in Indiana today. Odd for it here on Halloween.
I am so sick of these emotional nitwits
OK...I was thinking it was a storm...
