Iain Cameron on X is saying that Scotland's last remaining snow patch from winter 2023-24 is about to (or perhaps now has) disappear. This will make Scotland snow free for the third consecutive year.

The loss of so much of what makes us us (snow, snowyness, winter, cold NWlies, sea ice around Iceland and in the Baltic, cool summers, cold winters, cold springs). Globally the loss of huge forests, the warming of oceans and the changes to fisheries, searing hot and prolonged summers,

2. Or the collective complacency and shoulder shrugging of humanity about what all the above means.

  It has been measured for 300 years but it is a pity the records are not longer as would it have been there in the Medieval warm period?
