Yep :(. Like I said, we finally got one yesterday, which is 2-4 months
late. We'll see how long it lasts.

It's quite rare that there's absolutely no snow in New Year's eve.
Now was the second time in a row that that happened.
Either it's an incredible coincidence or global warming is really
escalating exponentially.

Yeh, this is the 2nd year running here that we really don't have any snow at
all by mid-January. In fact we've seen temperatures as high as 12 which is
extremely unusual. Saying that though, the winter before that was one of
the coldest we'd had in a long time, with record amounts of snow. That was
in March though - still two months to go!

Given that even the die-hard pro-man-made-global-warming activists are
quoting figures like 5-10 degrees per *century* rise, a sudden change to
several degrees per *year* would be quite unlikely - and mean that we're all
going to be dead pretty soon...

How times have changed eh, Stephen? When I was a kid, you were almost
guaranteed a white Christmas. I remember opening our back door one morning
when I was about 7 and I couldn't see the sky, just a (literal) wall of
snow.

The 5-10 degrees is the average of the entire world during the entire year.
Local seasonal changes may be much more pronounced than that.

I remember blue toes and my grandmother's dogs going mad at night after I built
a snowman. :)
But I think that was mild compared to what our Northern European cousins got.
Brrr! :)

Heh, built many myself. My son built the last one I saw about 5 years
ago I think.

Yeah, I'm sure. You're like me; cold is ONLY GOOD when you're boiling
hot. ;)

And yet in my part of the world last winter was the coldest for a decade or
so (it snowed!) and this summer is the coldest and wettest that I remember.
Average midday temp for this month is around 23 C. At this time of the year
it should be around 28-30 C

Heh, probably preferable for us ol' timers then. How much is the
heating allowance this year? ;)
