We had loads of snow last week here, and my brother in Lancaster is knee-deep in the stuff. Not great for his dissertation but meh.....

Sheets of rain here, looong walk home
*thanks Krishna for Doc Martens*
No snow here at all, lot's of rain that's all. The weather has gone nuts for this time of year. :roll:
I live on the prairies of Central Canada where snow and cold ARE THE RULES between the months of November through to April. We have only begun to see winter, and it's March !. No snow or cold this year. It was like living in Jamaica or something. :sunny: ....unheard of.
Something wierd is going on..... :88)

May be George Bush and Tony Blair have a new secret weapon to control the weather. ;)
In India it is raining during summer time. This year everyone was expecting a very hot summer. Two days before there was heavy rains with lightning and thunderstroms in which 35 or more people died.
This never happened before during the summer season.

That's nothing. In February 1979, it snowed in the Sahara Desert for 30 minutes. There were some other fairly significant events in earlier February, so I figure it was just hell freezing over.
If you start getting dust storms in Britain, then we'll talk...

I guess you could say hell had its first frost. :shifty:

Snow in Israel's mountainous Jerusalem and Galilee regions is not uncommon.
On the contrary! My children miss it. Haven't had a good snowfall in 3 or 4 years!
I wish I stopped seeing snow already, it's been here for months and I'm getting sick of it :rotfl:

I remember that. The Science guys said that it was a sign of the start of another ice age. It's one reason why i have trouble believing them now about global warming...
And today the weather here rain on top of all the rain I had in the last month and half, and the powers to be bang on about a water shortage. :doh:

Water water everywhere, but still an extremely low water table............

What we need in the UK is a Desalination Plant, there problem sorted. :smug:

Desalination Plant? Easy done deal:
Grab unwanted population (prisioners, Immans, Jack Straw, Kapitain, etc.).
Get them to drink ALOT of sea water, then collect their pee and recycle the water out of it or bottle the raw pee to make it cheaper, though a tad bit more disgusting to drink.

Pee has (in heathly adults) greater osmotic pressure than seawater, not even considering sodium chloride. I forget the exact ratio, but seawater is something like 1osm for seawater, and urine is several times that. Urine is generally just a few moles under saturation, and seawater isn't anything near saturated.
So in reality, it's cheaper to "recycle" seawater before urine.
