PARIS (AFP) – Early winter snows forced French authorities to close the Eiffel Tower on Thursday and disrupted transport as northwest Europe shuddered under a pre-Christmas cold snap.
The French capital and much of the north of the country awoke to find a seven-centimetre (three inch) blanket of snow, which delayed flights from Charles de Gaulle airport by up to two hours.
The iconic Eiffel Tower was closed to visitors, and train and bus services were delayed in many areas, as daytime temperatures dropped below zero for the first time in the year and black ice coated northern roads.
Snow also fell in Britain, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands and weather experts forecast worse to come, with disruption especially in Scotland and northern England.

Just in time for the clmate fiasco. God has a wonderful sense of humor. Let snow...Let it snow....Let it snow.
Next summer he’s giving the gift of winter to little Mexican children in the tropics.
When will these idiots learn to schedule global warming summits in Phoenix during the month of July?

Epic Fail
Winter is winter and it will be cold. Seems that if things are heating-up globally, there would be more moisture in the air, thus more snow in the winter...just sayin.
I have linked to a very good common sense article from today’s Wall Street Journal.
It illustrates the lunacy of the climate change hysteria.

Taking pictures, hah! Europeans should instead welcome the norm for the next 30 years. Nothing to celebrate.
Al Bftsplk strikes again!
Now, now, now, delegates, let's turn off those thermostats to save the planet!
Having been around for 7+ decades, and living in our northern most state - I have observed what has long been established - the 22 year cycle, divided by 11 of Solar Minimum and 11 of solar Maximum, brings - climate changes! And the the Soar Minimum - less SUN SPOT activity, brings colder winters with more snow. And, unfortunately, we have had little to NO sun spots for some time now. Brrr.
That's science.
...just saying.
Well, ya got me by a decade and the fact that most of my life has been south of the Mas0n-Dixon line, but that’s what’s so nice about the web...we can all just say
Winter blasts happen every time these Global Warmists get together.
Gotta love it.
Technically it is not Winter yet. We still have a few more days of Fall left. It just seems like winter.
OK, I guess it just seems cold enough to snow. Thanks for the update
