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.

We’re trapped in the plot of The Day After Tomorrow

This entry was posted in climate change science snow Weather on January 8, 2010 by Ian Pattinson

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.

I’d like to pretend it was Harry’s idea to go for a ride in the snow, but I was already contemplating it. I’m in Platt Fields, watching sledgers and skiers.

Actually, it’s quite delightful, and shall remain so until I have to go out in it for milk later. Or tomorrow morning, when it will be compacted and frozen, or deeper, or some combination of both, and I have to go to work.
