Snow creatures 1

I spotted this snow lion earlier today and was stunned by it.

The snow walrus/dragon I found on Tuesday’s bike ride isn’t quite as detailed, but is impressive for its size.

Remember The Day After Tomorrow? A cheesey disaster film that took a scientific theory about the Gulf Stream shutting down and the northern hemisphere immediately freezing. Well, the current British freeze is because the Gulf Stream’s been diverted by the West Greenland current. The current’s at its strongest in fifty years, possibly as a result of polar warming courtesy of climate change.
