What is the situation in america?
Here in Europe is getting warmer and warmer! Lots of countries haven’t seen a snow flake since last year ! Countries in which snow was usual by christmas time were not even touched by such events and other countries who haven’t seen snow for years got covered in it!
Where do you think we will get with this ? :cry:
In our country we didn’t had snow. Only in the mountains. But this winter wasn’t like the rest. THis winter was more a sort of spring!
:?
Good for me i went to the mountain. i drove up till i couldn’t go further. fresh cool air! Mountains are extraordinaire.
I heard that winters will alternate. One teribly cold, one abnormaly hot.
Cheers
I live in the southern US so we are in a very hot climate and we might get snow once a year (if that).
So, what we do is head up to the mountains during our Mardi Gras Holiday to do some snowboarding and skiing. This last year the slopes had not gotten alot of snow and over half of the ski runs were shut down.
It kinda sucked because we paid all that money to go skiing and we were limited to only a few runs which were gradually turning into slush each day. I even snowboarded on some grass a few times.
The climate is definently changing weather we want to admit it or not.
Yes… and it will get warmer by the day.
The agriculture is not working either here!
We are importing wheat and cereals this year more than the other years!
With no snow there will be no wheat. :? It doesn’t even rain or something
In our town Sestino(italy) it snowed but it is located in the mountains.
I saw the wheathercast in europe and it didn’t snowed as it used too!
i went skying and i had a bit of fun. too bad a friend got his legg broken and we had to take care of him. but it snowed.
Anyway the weather is not right worldwide and that is something bad.
It seems like all turned upside down. In February and January not even a bit of snow: the sun was shinning and everything was like in spring.
I saw at the new that bears stopped hibernating because there were no condition and specialists say that it can affect their metabolism.
Soon winter will be a fairy tale, I will have to explain my kids in the future what snow was and how it used to be during winter.
I truly think winter is gone. Maybe it will snow a bit in the next years but it will never be the same and probably as the time will pass we will completely forget about it.
Here in the Toronto, Canada area we were late getting snow this year.
There’s basically none on the ground in the city now, but just a couple hours drive north in the Georgian Bay area, they had several feet of snow on their front lawns.
There are snow squall warnings for a considerable area in southwestern Ontario for this holiday weekend, too.
In the last couple of years, some shrubs in the neighbourhood have experienced a false start in the early spring, when they started to bud before the snow storms were over for the season.
I personally think that it is cycles that the earth goes through. Unfortunately, global warming (or whatever term you may want to give it) is definitely having an impact on our seasons.
Ocean currents change, polar caps melting, snow in odd places and lack of winter in others. It can be seen worldwide. As inhabitants (and the main polluters! ) of our mother earth we need to do what we can to help the earth regain her health so that she may go through changes she may need to go through in a natural state.
It’s true that our climate goes through cycles but the cycles are changing drastically.
I remember as a child and a teenager and even as a young adult when the snow would be hard and crisp and deep in October, November and we never had to wait till December for snow to fall.
Now this year, in Toronto Canada we saw nothing in the way of snow until well after Christmas this year and then January was mild all month and February for the first week or so and then we went into subfreezing temps but still no real major snow at all.
We didn’t get real snow until mid-January this year, but then February made up for it and we had quite a bit, although I don’t think I had to have my driveway plowed even once this year. It seems to me that snow was often followed by rain or a bit of warm weather. It’s been weird, that’s for sure.
I live in Dayton Ohio, and each “winter” is warmer, and we keep getting snow later and later in the year. I remember having a foot of snow on Christmas when I was a kid, and now a days we’re lucky to have even a flake of snow before January.
