No need for an ice-age for us to get snow. The UK is on a similar latitude to Canada and, without the Gulf Stream, would presumably get similar weather.Very true. Also, as a consequence of getting more snow/ice for longer periods of the year, the increase in the planet's albedo could mean that the heat created by the sun's rays is not as powerful a force, resulting in the ice not being fully melted between seasons. The ultimate result being we'd be sent into an ice age.Phew - good job we're pumping out all this C02 to stop that happening! Oh hang on if the arctic stops freezing...what is this 'snow' problem anyway - the kids are outside, the fires going, and the snow was building up on the power cables and the pole is leaning 10 degrees more than it did on monday so it sw power dont get out here soon the kids will be playing skipping with a sparkly rope!

when i was a kid,,not long ago, :) i lived in london and when we had winters the insides of the windows where a sheet of ice. what about the winter of 1963 then ? had snow level with the fences (6 foot hight) seem to remember it started snowing between xmas and new year. could get like that in the future i guess. love the idea of global warming, just not the extreme cold winter bit !
