Squirrals burying nuts.

According to the squirrels burying there nuts early, we in the UK are in for a harsh winter....Apparently.
Which has made me think of the gulf stream more and more. And was wondering if it was slowing down, which sounds good to me as i prefer the cold.
I know us brits aint had much of a summer, and what with global warming melting the ice caps which in turn float ice down to us , thous causing the gulf stream to cool down.:banana:
What do you guys think?

 

Think your a bit nutty

 

LOL.Thats true.

 

Funny, my mom said the exact same thing a week ago about the squirrels around her house. Early nut gathering = harsh winter, apparently. I have the same feeling about a harsh winter, though it's just a gut feel.

The way I understand global warming is that, although there's a gradual increase in overall temperature, it's a matter of unusually wild swings in the weather along the way. So a few harsh winters along the road of global warming isn't only possible, it's likely. And we're so overdue, I think we're going to be seeing one this year.

 

20-25°c with no clouds and a cool gentle breeze is my ideal weather.

 

Harsh winter or... they just being greedy bastards?

 

I don't believe I've ever seen squirrel's nuts! :banana:

 

Oh please... look over the course of the last 15 years, theres been a few wild winters in the UK.. cant remember the last time we had a white christmas... 3 or 4 years ? Its not unheard of, lol. We havent had snow storm christmas for a while.

 

I have!
They`re very large , and they always get in the way when they run.

 

they bury their nuts? good luck procreating.

lol lots of squirrels images around here.

 

If we lost the gulf stream we would be in deep ****.

1. We are on a similar latitude to very cold places in Russia! We are very lucky, at the moment.
2. On average our houses are very poorly insulated. Our existing energy and water infrustructure would need a severe overhaul as well.
3. We have a pending energy deficit, because successive governments have failed to plan for the decommissioning of our existing nuclear power stations. We could face being held to ransom over the prices we pay, even more than we are at the moment.
4. Our roads are already overcrowded, imagine 2 metres of snow on them as well.
5. We (as a nation) have no experience of dealing with harsh long winters.

A severe winter would cripple this country, remember the power cuts?

 

That's true.

 

8/10 imo

 

Well, autumn temperatures have finally hit us here. Hasn't gone above 10-12c during days of sunshine over the last week, and nights are getting close to 0c. Excellent! I hope we get loads of snow this winter.

 

lol You lot put us to shame when dealing with proper winters!

 

Time to start some overclocking!

 

Yes, I do like me a proper winter!
