Thanks, Steve, Akira and Randy.
The last one is probably my own favourite, too.
Randy - 150 miles further north in Scotland, as children we used to build igloos in our back garden; snow wasn't permanent all winter but would stay for a number of weeks, a number of times; people would sometimes take their cars out on the sea-ice, and the village being cut off by deep snow was commonplace. Now we can get through a winter wth almost no snow or even frost except up in the mountains.
But of course there is *no such thing* as global atmospheric warming. (© D. Trump)
