On GMTV they said that cold weather was here for the next 6 to 15 days and possibly after that. Not all that helpful really. Didn't specifically mention snow.

Well that doesn't sound promising for Walsall
Train tickets and match tickets already booked up for me and four others. Even Villa could be a doubt going by that information.
Meant to be sunny tomorrow then snowing all weekend in the South East

Think they explained it in the Day After Tomorrow. Can't remember explanation though.

Yeah, something about climate change and it ended up very cold with loads of snow.

ment to make summer hotter and winter colder i think

Walsall wont be on, predicted to continue with the cold weather for at least another 10 days or so. They were calling games off before this "big freeze" started simply due to a bit of frost, so several inches of snow and temperatures not reaching more than 0 degrees doesnt make it look too promising. Plus i believe half the pitch is covered from sunlight even if it does heat up. I too have train tickets booked up already
If we don't play from Torquay to Villa, will we be better or worse!?

I would say worse, but likelihood would be Villa having not played either

The big fear is that the Gulf Stream could stop warming NW Europe's winters.
Oh for fucks sake, not this again. What on earth makes you think that one cold month in Britain disproved the fact that the whole planet isn't warming over a period of hundreds of years? It's more telling that we haven't had weather like this for 20 years when it used to be a regular occurence!

Walsall is one of only five grounds I haven't been to in this league. Not sure I'll be able to make the trip on the re-ararnged Tuesday now

Calm down mum! If you read my post you would have seen I said I know nothing about Geography. And that proves it!

It's happening in the summer as well. The atlantic currents and swell have moved slightly north of the UK now, which is why the surf-scene on the south coast (especially in Devon and Dorset) has died in the last few years.

Global warming is a myth - the scientific models proposed to show the temperature rises for the next few decades have already failed to be accurate. The science is all based on guesswork and hypothesis and not fact, the same way that scientists once believed that the Earth was flat, this was accepted as the norm until disproved.
It does however make it easier for companies and Governments to get people to pay more for goods and services, pay more and save the planet. Maybe its being used as a cover to try to get people to use less because resources are running out (coal, gas, oil etc.) and its a good way of getting people to use less rather than cause a panic by revealing the truth. Its also a good way to get people to happily pay more in taxes if its seen to be in the planets interest, rather than just Government(s) looking for extra revenue to spend.

Don't panic. When I was a lad it was always like this.That was even before we had an ozone layer or fridges or anything.

Out of curiosity where is the nearest country that Premiership teams could go to play some closed doors friendlies and keep match fit as apparently even Florida is suffering. What about Cyprus and Southern Turkey or The Algarve, which are normally warm and sunny at this time of year.
