More global warming/cooling
On 06 February it was a nice sunny day in London. On that day and on the two previous days the foxes had been out sunning themselves for most of the day. if you look carefully at the centre of this picture you will see one of them snoozing on the bank.
Then on Thursday 08 February the weather forecasters were amazingly accurate and it started to snow, as predicted, at about 5 am.
By 8:30 am the view of the garden had changed to this,
and the road was looking like this.
Then the winging started on Radio, TV and in the papers. Why can’t London be like New York and Moscow where they manage to clear the snow within minutes and their traffic does not come to a halt within seconds of the first flakes hitting the ground?
The simple answer is that we could. We would need to close a few hospitals and invest in snow clearing plant which on average would be used once every ten years - and sit idle for nine.
No, we prefer to keep the hospitals open and have an unofficial public holiday when the snow comes - far more sensible. Oh and it enables the drivers of Chelsea tractors to sooth their environmentally seared consciences and claim that they really do need their gas guzzling monstrosities.
