Doha Desperately Seeking Global Warming Doom confounded yet again, snow falls in UK on Dec. 1, two ski areas open in Scotland. In 2000 UK experts said kids won't "know what snow is," "notion of Christmas might have to shift," due to CO2

12/1/12, "Snow falls in some areas and rain predicted," BBC

"Snow has fallen across parts of northern England and southern Scotland, with more forecast over the weekend.

Up to an inch (25mm) of snow settled in some areas. Temperatures fell early on Saturday to -7C at Shap, in Cumbria.

Meanwhile, two of Scotland's five ski resorts have opened for business this weekend because there is enough snow cover to get the season under way....

Light snowfall was reported in Cumbria, Teesside and County Durham, with an inch of snow falling in the Pennines and the Southern Uplands."...

=================================
  
3/20/2000, "Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past," Independent UK, Charles Onians

"According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".
  • "Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.
The effects of snow-free winter in Britain are already becoming apparent. This year, for the first time ever, Hamleys, Britain's biggest toyshop, had no sledges on display in its Regent Street store. "It was a bit of a first," a spokesperson said.
  • Fen skating, once a popular sport on the fields of East Anglia, now takes place on indoor artificial rinks. Malcolm Robinson, of the Fenland Indoor Speed Skating Club in Peterborough, says they have not skated outside since 1997. "As a boy, I can remember being on ice most winters. Now it's few and far between," he said.
Michael Jeacock, a Cambridgeshire local historian, added that a generation was growing up "without experiencing one of the greatest joys and privileges of living in this part of the world - open-air skating".

Warmer winters have significant environmental and economic implications, and a wide range of research indicates that pests and plant diseases, usually killed back by sharp frosts, are likely to flourish. But very little research has been done on the cultural implications of climate change - into the possibility, for example, that 
  •  our notion of Christmas might have to shift.... 

British children could have only virtual experience of snow. Via the internet, they might wonder at polar scenes - or eventually "feel" virtual cold.

Heavy snow will return occasionally, says Dr Viner, but when it does we will be unprepared. "We're really going to get caught out. "Snow will probably cause chaos in 20 years time," he said.

The chances are certainly now stacked against the sort of heavy snowfall in cities that inspired Impressionist painters, such as Sisley, and the 19th century poet laureate Robert Bridges, who wrote in "London Snow" of it, "stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying"."...

------------------------------------------------------

Ed. note: Per Dr. Viner in 2000, only 8 years to go til snow terror via excess CO2: "Snow will probably cause chaos in 20 years time." Similar to claims of doom spewing from Doha. 

Not that it's ever been about "climate" anyway.
