Believe it or not, we recorded the earliest ever autumn/winter snow in Coventry on the 11th of October in 1896! The last time there was any October snow in our region was back in 1941, though snow has only fallen locally during October on five occasions since records were first available in the city in 1892 - these were in 1892 (two days), 1895, 1896 1934 and 1941. Thank goodness for climate...

What a wild, wet and windy spell starting in the early hours this morning. Driving over Woodbury Common near Budleigh Salterton at 8am this morning was 'interesting' with the twigs, acorns and small branches travelling horizontal hitting the car and especially the windscreen and making hell of a bang as they did.

So I would say from this empirical evidence that global warming is over and were now into global dimming.Forget your carbon taxes, support your...
