    Snow in northern Europe is news?

    Is drought in the desert news worthy too?

      Avg snowfall in London is 5cm or thereabouts. It’s a pretty mild climate despite the high latitude. There is a pretty big risk that cold melt water from the thawing Greenland ice pack will disrupt the gulf stream currents that warm Northern Europe and leave them with a much colder climate.

      Heavy snow in the UK in NOV is slightly alarming. Though it could just as easily be an isolated weather event.
