At 07.15 this morning the snow was falling in big flakes and the coulds were heavy with snow. My Car was coverd with at least 1" of Snow as was my Garden. OK it was all gone by mid morning but that is quite a lot of Snow for the 11th of May.

Global warming...

I was hoping that it was gonna get warmer not start an ice age.....

That's the alternative theory... Warmer at the equator but increased moisture in the air from the warming will fall as snow in more northerly areas. Allegedly over time this will result in a lowering of the overall temperatures and another ice age. This is Steven Dawkin's theory and I can see where he got the idea...

This thingamajig called the 'May Gobs' is responsible for all the open hearths in my house being covered with drops of soot. No sooner, cleaned them all and the skies decide to open up with a vengeance. Result same all over again, throughout the day. Never seen the likes! Maybe I should leave the hearths alone untill the 'June Gales' come along. Anyone else have this problem? :roll:
