Hello Grant,

No need for an ice-age for us to get snow. The UK is on a similar
latitude to Canada and, without the Gulf Stream, would presumably get
similar weather.

Very true.  Also, as a consequence of getting more snow/ice for longer
periods of the year, the increase in the planet's albedo could mean that
the heat created by the sun's rays is not as powerful a force, resulting
in the ice not being fully melted between seasons.  The ultimate result
being we'd be sent into an ice age.
Phew - good job we're pumping out all this C02 to stop that happening!
Oh hang on if the arctic stops freezing...
what is this 'snow' problem anyway - the kids are outside, the fires going, and the snow was building up on the power cables and the pole is leaning 10 degrees more than it did on monday so it sw power dont get out here soon the kids will be playing skipping with a sparkly rope!
