    I am hoping it does not snow again here in Montana until next fall. Anything could happen though.

      probably, yes:P

      global warming can lead to certain areas coolling down. One of the areas that can cool down because of the earth warming up is Northwestern Europe. This has to do with ocean currents en warm air that comes with it or on this case stops coming in with the ocean current.
      The movie ‘day after tomorrow’ , altough a bit exxatered maybe, explains this quite well.

        Also because the warming causes the polar ice caps to melt, which in turn lowers the temperature of the oceans.

    It’s is global warming. It’s a warming of the Arctic and northern latitudes, to be more specific.

    As the temperature difference between the Arctic and Equator continues to diminish, the jet stream(s) will slow down, which allows them to bow and meander, and it allows systems to ‘stall’ over an aread for days/weeks/months, creating more extreme weather events than previously, and more often. A deep bow south brings in cold behind it (the case for England this weekend). A deep bow north brings in equatorial heat (8000 heat records broken in the USA in April, usually by 10-20C).

    Hopefully that’s not all new information for anyone.

    Freak Weather Reported Across The North Of The County – UK

    FILMGOERS were evacuated after a hailstorm apparently set off the alarms at Witney’s Cineworld cinema.

    During the freak storm around 4pm films were interrupted and audiences were told to leave by the nearest exit.

    Reports of freak ‘tornado’ type weather have also been received from Bicester, Eynsham, and Kidlington.

    Damage to roofs and outbuildings has been reported.
