Winter officially starts today. Bloody hell autumn was cold. Summer too. It's also the shortest day* of the year, so the days start getting longer now


* daylight hours, northern hemisphere etc. Pedants.

If mankind is taking responsibilty for climate change, at least we have someone to blame. or thank.

We had two foot of snow in our garden, if it hadnt been for Obama and the Chinese, it might have been 2.1 feet. or something

did you know that no two snowflakes are ever the same ? I hope someone is checking that

In fact, in 1988, the Nancy Knight was studying snowflakes as part of her work with the National Center for Atmospheric Research and found two identical snowflakes of the hollow column type in a Wisconsin snowstorm.

But Caltech physics professor and snowflake expert Kenneth Libbrecht points out that if you look at any two flakes – even seemingly identical ones – on the atomic level, you’ll find numbers of water molecules and different layouts of those molecules (most water molecules contain an oxygen atom of 16O, but one molecule in every 500 has an 18O). One thing you won’t find? Two snowflakes that are exactly alike.
