Sure, I'll settle that science for ya. 15 years ago they said: Snow is a thing of the past...Children aren't going to know what snow is, per elite, taxpayer funded, government endorsed, UK climate scientist, March 2000

March 20, 2000, "Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past," Independent UK, by Charles Onians 

"According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event."

"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.... 

But very little research has been done on the

• cultural implications of climate change - into the possibility, for example, that

• our notion of Christmas might have to shift....

David Parker, at the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research in Berkshire, says ultimately, British children could have only virtual experience of snow. Via the internet, they might wonder at polar scenes - or eventually "feel" virtual cold..

Heavy snow will return occasionally, says Dr Viner, but when it does we will be unprepared. "We're really going to get caught out. Snow will probably cause chaos in 20 years time," he said. The chances are certainly now stacked against the sort of heavy snowfall in cities that inspired Impressionist painters, such as Sisley, and the 19th century poet laureate Robert Bridges, who wrote in "London Snow" of it, "stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying". Not any more, it seems."
