Crazy Icy April 2018

The final photo is how it looked on Monday April 16. There was more icy snow in the forecast and schools were closed. Today the snow is still all around. We had ice falling off our famous CN Tower. Businesses near by were closed to protect people from falling ice. We even had to shift a baseball game because of this dangerous icy mess that caused a hole in the stadium roof. A double header was played the following day. Most crazy was people still opted to drive like idiots causing over 1600 plus accidents with one fatality. Whoever says climate change isn’t real is living in a bubble and does not see the global picture. It is 29C in the London UK area. That too is not what is a norm.

 It srated fast on Thursdayafternoon.
 Ten minutes later ice pellets became very visible.

 Out front the road and walkways were an icy mess. We were warned to stay imdoorrs.
This is a closeup of the pellets found on our balcony.

hope you get a break from the snow soon, and it amazes me to hear and see all the accidents in snow and ice.

so much snow in much of the world this year. I hope your Spring arrives soon.

Yikes! Winter is hanging on too long!

This winter weather has reached point of ridiculousness. It has two weeks to stop (cause that is when I plan to head back north).

It has been a head shaking winter. Hope Spring is somewhere on the horizon and that we don't go straight to summer.

I grew up in Michigan and we had a few snowy Springs like this. How common is it for the UK? I live in the southern US now. We tend to have snow in January, February, and rarely March.

Dear Heidrun, it is astounding to me, mind-boggling, that so many people in the United States--many of them in Congress as well as the president--refuse to accept the work of a majority of scientists who have proof of global warming. The ostrich-head-in-the-sand syndrome! Peace.
