The Frozen Wastes Of…… Britain?
The Telegraph reports that Britain is – quite literally – colder than Moscow right now. More snow and cold are predicted over the weekend. Heck, it’s actually colder than Oslo, Norway, too.
Forecasters have issued a string of severe weather warnings covering the entire eastern half of the country.
There were warnings that night time temperatures could fall as low as -5C (23F) in some rural areas from Scotland to East Anglia as an icy blast moved in from the Arctic.
That placed parts of Britain on a footing with the Russian capital where -3C (27F) was forecast, and several degrees colder than Oslo, Norway, where a low of -1C (30F) was expected.
The forecast threatens transport chaos and forces millions of elderly people to turn up the thermostat despite higher heating costs.
Meanwhile, here in the US, snow is falling in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and brutal cold is predicted for the Northeast into next week. Where I live in the Midwest, we hit a low of 11 degrees last night and never reached 30 today – a very cold day for this time of year.

Global Warming?
How dare ye prevaricate the prevailing paradigm?
….forces millions of elderly people to turn up the thermostat despite higher heating costs.
All the more reason for moonbats to accelerate implementation of “Crap & Trade.”
