No more snow for us


Climate change is definitely here and I’m quite sure that human activity is tightly connected to it. 15 or 20 years ago when I was a child we have 20 – 50 centimeters of snow each winter and it usually lasted for one month or more (my location is in Eastern Europe). Last 10 to 15 years we almost have no snow at all. Maybe just one week 5 – 10 centimeters and that’s it. No more winter fun for us. If I want to go skiing then I must go at least 500 meter higher in the mountains. Attached photo was taken few days ago, and you can see clear evidence of what I’m saying … yes you are right… there is no snow… you can see primrose in the middle of the winter (picture was taken one week ago).
