the BallPark goes to Iceland

Glo Ball warming

a sunny 3C today in Skagastrond

Once i went to Korea and i was told that when the gingo trees start losing their leaves, it will snow. I was there for 4 days and watched the leaves fall, froze in the cold and waited for snow. On the day I was leaving, a cold wind blew a puff of snow onto my glove and it was gone. I flew home and they then had record snowfalls.

Once I was in London in November nad they were having an unusually hot start to winter. The trees still had leaves and the birds were totally confused. If you want to see snow, i was told, go to Europe. I went to Paris, and there was no snow, but they told me to go to Germany. I went to Karlsruhe and it was very cold but there was no snow. So they told me to go to Austria. I went to Salzburg for the “Sound of  Music tour” and it really cold and they said it was unusual for it not to be snowing and last year it was already white everywhere at that time of year. The xmas decorations were pretty. Go to Prague they said, so I did. Prague is very beautiful and it was very cold, but unlike most years, it was not snowing this year. Try further north, they said. So I went to Brussels. What a beautiful city: chocolates and beer!! But no snow this year yet, they said, which is odd for this time. I returned to London and left for New York on my way back to Australia. I was there for a week and it was cold but no snow. As I was packing to leave for the airport, a fluff of snow drifted past my window and was gone. As I flew out, the snow began and they had blizzards that year.

Once I went to New York in December and it has been very cold and so was I. I was there for 3 weeks, and although I saw snow on the cars passing me in manhattan, and there were reports of blizzards in New York State, all I saw was some icystuff with cigarette butts in it lying on the pavement from where it had snowed before i got to that place. There was no snow on Xmas day that year, but the week after I left, the planes were grounded becasue of the blizzards.

4 weeks ago I arrived in Skagastrond and it snowed within the first hours. in my hand, on the ground. Since then it has snowed all around the town but not IN town. Not on ME! The locals say it is unusually warm for this time of year.
