I woke up on Saturday to reports that we should all get set for large falls of snow over the weekend, but surely that can’t be true?

Sitting there watching the Middlesborough v Manchester United game on Sunday afternoon the screen suddenly went white, oh no I thought, I must need a new TV! Low and behold it soon became apparent that the frozen North of the UK was being hit by a large and sustained snow storm, and here was me in frozen Scotland and not a snow flake in sight. Surely that can’t be right? What is happening to our weather?

A quick flick through Google, “Global Warming”, and it seems that there has been a real change in weather patterns on the earth over the last 10 years. I remember those winter morning as a child, sledging down the hills with hundreds of other youngsters, but that seems to have disappeared for good. While we all hate to admit it, the reality is that global earning seems to be happening, it seems to have been ongoing for some time and it is making a difference. So what can we do?

Surely it is time that we all stood up to be counted and did our bit to save the earth, save the human race and more importantly bring back those snowy winter mornings and let me get that sledge out of the shed again. Winter was great as a kid but the seasons are all changing now, we have sunshine and heat in the winter, snow fall at the start of April and no summer to talk of.

Lets us all get together and start a campaign to bring back winter, bring back the snowball fights we all enjoyed as children and bring back that little bit of childhood which so many are missing today!
