Photo Of The Day

Oof!

It's actually quite impressive that the second one from the bottom is already fetal, while still sliding. It usually takes me a few seconds to curl up into a ball after a crash and start whimpering.

not as good as last years one.. yet

precisely;

I remember seeing that on your blog last year scoble.

That is a truly memorable image. The more up to date one must be from last week? Nothing in London or the south east, and there's been plenty of fluffy stuff there.

+1 to that - exposed and prone to the elements and no mistake, is our poxy little island.

Norway benifits loads from the gulf stream. Its around -6 here on the coast, as opposed to -31 a few miles directly east (inland).

Global warming will likely, put a stop-to/greatly-reduce the gulf stream, as a result of glacier melting. I'm so bored of explaining this to the gangs of idiots that say, 'cold out, so much for global warming'.

you learn something new everyday.. I just assumed all you guys up there were frozen solid most of the year.

where'd you get the evidence for that Scoble?

Hah, won't be long though (15-20 years left for the next ice age, estimated).

i love the word* estimated* involved in that sentence Ed
