Sorry, Burke. The anal scientist (I don't want to think too much about that term ) comes out in me once in a while and I end up sounding like Cliff Claven on "Cheers"... :geek:
Interesting to say the least. I assume Holland has about the same climate as the Northwestern United States, so having a late November snowstorm is a bit early indeed. And considering Holland has the North Sea to the West, the warmer sea water must keep the temperatures a bit higher on the mainland, thus reducing the possibility of frozen precipitation.
I have no idea what the climate in the Northwestern US is, but we *never* have snow blizzards. Summers are cool; with temperatures around 25 Celsius, winters are mild with temperatures usually between 0 and 5 Celsius. Rain is very frequent during autumn and winters, as are storms with wind (and rain) but it only snows perhaps 2 or 3 days per year. And that's in the east.

You didn't have one now either. From what I've seen most people are shocked we couldn't deal with this "blizzard" and not because of Mother Nature's force.
But of course that doesn't explain the very odd weather we've been having the past years. I don't think anyone knows what's going on with our climate -and we can't know if it's going to be dangerous either- but it's quite obvious something isn't the same.
Not at all in that incoherant rambling do you once come close to a rational thought, we are all more dumb for reading that, I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

The only thing we can conclude for now is that our climate has been experiencing some strange weather over the past few years. We haven't had this weather long enough to be able to speak of a changing climate.
The only nations that should have snow every once in a while are Austria and Italy, because that's were I go skiing. Other than that I'd like to stay as far as possible from that messy substance.
