Snow and more snow for us in North Lincs and it's snowing now.

When I went out to feed the chickens the snow went up to the midle of my
wellies ie. 7 inches or thereabout.
I can't remember the last time it snowed in November, and I do remember in
2001 that I was mowing the lawn to pass the time for my sons wedding.

We arent even in winter yet are we? winter starts 21 December.

Sir Patrick Moore predicted we would have a few years of quite harsh
winters due to spots in or on the sun which I beleive causes as little as 1
or 2% of light to be denied to us and that small percentage is significant
to our planet. I read somewhere that 5% is ice age.
I could not find one url to give as it can be confusing so below is a start
for anybody interested.
