damian 0 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 In the last week many types of blossoms have bloomed in London. Pretty typical for this time of year in the northern hemisphere. Two weeks ago it was 20C and I got a bit burnt in the park. Then today it became cold and windy whilst walking home I thought for a second that lots of blossom petals were being blown off the trees. Then I realised it was snowing. WTF? It is April 7. I came home and checked the weather and yep, a new forecast for 100cm in the alps. Tried to get a flight but no chance at a good price/departure time. Snow on April 7! Is this the start of the next ice age? Has the Gulf Stream turned off Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I was driving over a high pass late last night above 1300 metres. They were forcasting snow on the warning screens. It was raining at the time but the temperature was dropping. I wouldn't be surprised if the higher mountains got snow. Most of the ski hills in Japan are far to low to get snow this late in the season though. Link to post Share on other sites
