Yes, a lack of snow at the altitude at which I live is welcomed by me. There seems to be normal amounts falling for skiers at higher altitudes. When we do have these once every 7 years cold events then a few days off isn't such a bad thing, although preventable additional early deaths are, sadly, to be expected.

re Dublin Lidl
They seem to have arrested a few - on conviction they'll give them an Irish passport, €5000 in used notes each and a Ryanair ticket to Stansted as punishment?

Seems like more implementation of the "secret" Barcelona Agreement.

Sorry if I'm blathering but I just got a Tweet into my timeline on Twitter that dropped in at random (no provenance = not followed, not "liked" by someone I follow and not re-tweeted or promoted)
It appeared to be Donald Trump (yes I follow a bunch of US pols from all sides) confirming that Seth Rich was the leaker of the DNC emails.
Either Twitter has been hacked or Twitter themselves are up to mischief.
What's odd is that I initially looked at the @ handle because DJT doesn't usually use ASCII line characters and colours so I was a teeny bit suspicious....

Seth Rich = BOO-BOO - it's a fake account!
I refreshed the page ... damned odd that...
and Twitter ... are very, very obviously throttling the retweets and likes

All of this hi-tech statistical wizardry happens, but us Country Bumpkins haven't noticed it getting any warmer. Maybe not quite as cold in winter, but no one worries about that. Cold kills, and causes the UK to grind to a halt.
