WUWT readers may recall this post from last year on January 8th, 2010
All of Britain covered by snow
Along with a stunning satellite image. Well, it has happened again, much earlier this year. See the newest satellite image below.
From the BBC they write:
The University of Dundee’s satellite receiving station captured this image of how the heavy snow of the past week has affected the UK.
The picture, which was received at 1145 GMT on Thursday from Nasa satellite Terra, shows almost the entire country covered by a blanket of snow.

That’s bound to put a chill on AGW.

Err, but don’t I remember that the point about AGW is that it would cause melting of glaciers etc… leading to dilution of the gulf stream which will slow down and transfer less heat to UK/Europe and give colder winters.
You know, if my children are lucky and manage to have their own kids, and so on, my great great great great great grandchildren’s generation will look back on this period in time and piss themselves laughing at our gross stupidity and arrogance in thinking we could control the Earth’s thermostat and ‘agree’ that we should ‘Limit’ any temperature rise to ‘only’ 2 deg c or whatever our political masters have decided is good for us……….
I worry though that our planet, and our Sun, may have ‘decided’ on a different path for us and those generations may well not even get that
chance of reflection.
Found this to be an interesting roundup of past winters in Britain. Finding a history of UK completely covered in snow is difficult.
