Springtime Snows Hit England, Scotland

In yet another blow to the climate orthodoxy dogma of "warmer, ever warmer", an arctic freeze is descending over much of England and Scotland for Easter this year.

Arctic winds are forecast to sweep across Britain and bring widespread frosts over the Easter weekend, with snow in eastern regions....Conditions will be worst in Scotland and northern England but below-freezing temperatures and a sprinkling of snow are possible even in the South East – alongside strong winds and driving rain.....Helen Chivers, of the Met Office, said that weather conditions would deteriorate across the country this week. “It looks as though we are going to have a white Easter. We’ve got northerly winds sweeping in from Thursday,” she said. “We will be looking at nighttime temperatures of minus 2C (28F) or minus 3C in quite a lot of rural areas.”___Times

Europe had been experiencing a mild winter up to now. But based upon an abnormally sluggish sun--and recently discovered lack of warming in the oceans--it looks as if the earth is giving up previously stored heat from a more active sun in the late 1990s and early 2000s. If solar activity continues relatively low for the next two or more solar cycles (20 + years), it is likely that the climate regime of Earth will stabilise within a colder range of expectations.
