You can see the grass through the snow in the one where they’re, “even skiing”! 😂 Barely a covering on the ground! And the reason there are so many floods is because our drainage and sewerage systems cannot cope with the additional waste, water, and rain, from such an increase in number in already-at-capacity-sewers, in the UK. New house builds to boot, to cover, that additional use. The snow certainly everywhere I’ve been hearing about, really isn’t that deep, or serious. Small flurry for winter, that’s it. Less of the BS please, all under-guise ‘global-warming’ propaganda, to cover the real reasons for some of the things we’re seeing in our environments, that which is not the Earth going through the process’ that it has, warming and cooling, since the dawn of it’ beginning!
