We may get a little snow in England in a day or two. Scotland, being in somewhat cooler climes, may get a little more.
Quite apart from the UK Met Office's ability - or lack of it - to predict weather, the current Arctic Oscillation trend, if continued, could lead to some surprise sprinklings of snow.
I can't predict who will get snow, nor how much. Boston? New York? What I can predict, as a virtual certainty, is that if there is more snow we will see more inane questions from parochial northern hemisphere residents asking what happened to global warming.
I have a novel idea as to the cause of global warming: it's when all those conspiracy theorists see something on the web that they approve of -
and all of their brains overheat in synchrony.
Perhaps not.
