Things have settled down in Southern England now. We've done snow, floods, wind etc recently.

Northern England is currently experiencing another heavy snowfall.

just more global warming.

"Global Warming" is such a misnomer. It sounds all harmless and benign. Like something on the menu at a health spa.
"Yes, I'll have a massage, body wrap and a global warming."
I believe we should call it by a more definitive name...

GLOBAL CLIMATIC DISRUPTION. It's descriptive and to the point.

Very warm here this morning, but on the other side our tiny island they have had heavy overnight snow.

Awoke to a nice thin layer of perfect white snow over everything. One good thing about this is it is covering all the dirt, garbage, and dog poop that the recent thaw revealed. Heavy local flooding all around after the thaw and rain, but not the worst we've seen.

From the local news, heavily edited:

Areas of London, mainly Thames River parkland, were submerged, and streets deluged in Wallaceburg and flooding expected in coming days upstream of Chatham.

In Perth County, flooding washed out so many roads, crews were running out of barricades to seal off the roads.

In Bayfield, a marina filled with boats was destroyed when an ice jam broke up on the Bayfield River, smashing into riverside retaining walls.

Last week in Australia:

State of Queensland - 62% suffering floods. This is an area of land equivalent to 4 times the size of the British Isles.
State of New South Wales - Sweltering in mid 40's C (110-115 F). Several bushfires.
State of Victoria - Burning in temps around 46 C (115 F) Bushfires destroying whole townships, and leaving a death toll in the hundreds.

This week in Australia:
State of Queensland - Floods subsiding in some parts, but heavy rain caused by a tropical depression dumping more moisture than the land can hold.
State of New South Wales - temps down to 13 C (56 F) Rain hasn't stopped in three days, causing flooding near the border with Queensland, and flood watches on several rivers throughout the state. Local rainfall today is said to be only 19 millimetres (3/4 inch). I reckon the person taking the readings has moved the rain gauge indoors, to save herself gettin' wet!
State of Victoria - A little cooler, but still stinking hot. At least 15 fires still out of control.

Just misread it. That's centimetres instead of millimetres. :-)

I reckon you're right. Localised flooding here. Had to turn round and take a different road home from the hardware shop, as the road was closed due to flood water.

It's warmed up a bit, though 16 C (60.8 F) up from 13 C (65.4 F) yesterday.
That'd be a nice night time temp for Winter here, but we are still in Summer!

That's pretty cold for BC! I guess you can't grow bananas in your backyard, like they do in Victoria?

Pretty dull here in New England too (not that I'm complaining). 35°F (2°C), clear/sunny, and a slight breeze. Just a nice February day.

LOL
The coast and south/west corner of the province is almost a seperate country.
The rest of the province gets real winters just like the rest of Canada.
