WARRINGTON'S first snow of the winter - earlier than we are accustomed to - cast a white mantle over much of the borough.

Fortunately there have so far been no reports of serious accidents on the roads although a few complaints from motorists about the lack of gritting - particularly during the heavy snow showers of Sunday afternoon.
Children, as usually, thought it was marvelous and parks were full of excited youngsters on sledges.
Others took their lives in their hands by sledging or sliding on front roads, causing extra problems for drivers.
Our picture shows St Mary's Church, Lymm with a dusting of snow on the frozen Lymm Dam and the surrounding grassy banks.
Also pictured are the snowy scenes at Warrington town hall.

Snow earlier than expected in Warrington. Record early snow in El Paso, Texas, first time it has ever snowed two years in a row and never this early in tropical southeast Texas. This global warming is hell !!!!!! Idiots!.

Think the terminology now is "climate change", as clearly evidenced by early snow in El Paso.

That's correct - the term 'global warming' had to be dropped because contra-evidence was too difficult to explain away. The change made it possible to evade embarrasing questions. The concept was probably dreamed up in East Anglia to keep the billions in research grants flowing !
Only fanatical and shameless whackos could possibly attempt to explain cold winters and major snowstorms with a 'warming trend'. The only ones dippier are the ones who believe them.
