It’s August and Scotland’s winter snow still hasn’t melted. You know what they call it if last winter’s snow is still on the ground when this winter’s snow starts falling? The beginning of an ice age.

Not to worry, His Holiness the Pope will banish that pesky snow with a wave of Quagmire's magic pen and phone.
I always chuckle when people whine about glaciers melt- what exactly is ice supposed to do? The only thing it does is melt. It is, or it ain't.
The other thing is that warm is wet and cool is dry. We better be glad that snow pack melts. The actual worse thing is if the snow pack from places like the Himalayas and Rockies didn't melt. If they didn't melt, we would have even worse droughts and water shortages.
It's like they can't figure out even the most basic things, it literally is crazy.
And they're "SCIENTISTS"!!!
SCIETICIANS = politically motivated "scientists"
Hmmm, isn't that how glaciers are formed?
Exactly. And if it happens consistently, the glaciers grow. That's how ice ages start.
Bring it! I'm tired of temps in the 90's and 100's. It's been this way in California all my life, at least in the summer.
Brrrr!!!!! Time for haggis...I'll bring the Scotch!
Since I'm not a scotch drinker, is it OK to drink rum or bourbon in Scotland?
Snow didn't melt? Damn! IPCC will need to arrange yet another Obama speech on the need to combat global warming to keep the useful idiots from paying attention to the cold.
Y'all fire up the grills, burn some leaves or something, drive around wasting a tank of gas a day, I want some more of this globull warming stuff!
We had the best rainfall totals seen in 6 years across the state and I heard on the "news" this morning we are looking at a humongous, killer El Nino setting up in the Pacific which will bring us rain, snow and the coldest temperatures we have seen in decades. If this is what climate change is all about I love it!
If you're lucky, all the precip will dissipate the toxic waste spill the EPA did the other day.
I'm sure this isn't the right KIND of snow. Just sayin'.
Like me not being the right kind of black person?
Bingo.
Yeah... um... the molecular properties of Climate Change® snow differ from regular snow not subject to
manipulated dataevil Republican global warming so the climate change snow may never melt until a carbon tax can be passed which will correct the issues.... and stuff...It's that damn "white privilege" snow again....
Snow is racist.
In the olden days...We would get blizzards in North Dakota that would be early on in the fall when the ground wasn't frozen, we would get dirt (From plowed up fields) mixed with snow and the snow drifts were actually black in a lot of places, we called it a "Snirt Storm" Snow/dirt mixed...I guess that would have been politically correct snow drifts.... :)
Uhm... I have a feeling you won...
Year round snow and an ice age are just more proof of the power of AGW. Now shut up and give me all your money.
I thought it was called global warming? You know, because the Earth's so warm the snow doesn't melt.
No worries. The NASA climate scientists are on the job, "recalibrating" earlier temperature data lower so when Michigan is under an ice sheet we'll still be experiencing "the highest temperatures ever recorded".
Don't worry, it will melt next winter after Scotland is inundated by all the melting ice from the Arctic...or something.
