As pointed out on other threads, the image actually shows, if anything, less snow cover than we'd normally expect. So why do you suggest a new ice age?edit on 5-2-2011 by Essan because: remove bold text

(Leading meteorologists) )Woman And Two Children Found Dead At Home

Police are investigating after a woman and two children were found dead at their home.
Officers were called to a house in Garendon Road in Shepshed, Leicestershire, late on Wednesday after relatives raised concerns about the family.
All three were confirmed dead at the scene.
They've been named locally as Claudia Oakes-Green, her 8-year-old daughter Eleanor and her son Thomas who is thought to be aged either 12 or 13.
Leicestershire Police have said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
Post mortem examinations were carried out this afternoon.

COLUSA, Calif. -- In yet another sign of odd weather in Northern California, a tornado was seen on the ground Monday near Interstate 5 in Colusa County.
A tornado warning was issued for the Colusa and Glenn county areas.
In a scene straight out of a science-fiction disaster movie, space agency Nasa has revealed what a vast crack across Antarctica looks like up close.
The 2004 movie The Day After Tomorrow opened with a the Antarctic iceshelf cracking ahead of global extreme weather, and now Nasa has it live and on YouTube.
In October 2011, researchers flying in NASA's Operation IceBridge campaign made the first-ever detailed, airborne measurements of a major iceberg calving event while it was in progress.
By February IceBridge's team had mapped the crack in Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier in a way that allowed glaciologists to fly through the icy canyon.
The animation was created by draping aerial photographs from the Digital Mapping System - a still camera with very precise geolocation ability - over data from the Airborne Topographic Mapper - a scanning laser altimeter that measures changes in the surface elevation of the ice.
Both instruments were flown on NASA's DC-8 research airplane, and the data was collected on October 26, 2011.
The crack formed in the ice shelf that extended from one of West Antarctica's fastest-moving glaciers.
The path of the crack in the animation stretched roughly 30 kilometres in length (the actual crack was much longer), with an average width of about 80 metres. It was 250 metres at its widest.
The canyon ranged from 50 to 60 metres deep, with the floor being roughly at the water line of the Amundsen Sea.
Radar measurements suggested the ice shelf was about half a kilometre thick, with only a third of it above water.
Nasa said scientists had been waiting for the crack to propagate through the rest of the ice shelf and release an iceberg, which they estimated could span 900 square kilometres.
If it did not split off soon, however, the sea ice that formed with the onset of southern winter might keep the ice chunk trapped against the coast for a while.

I don't believe in the end of the world either, but with all this strange weather I have a feeling that our summer is going to be horrible. Hot, Lots of tornadoes, Lots of Hurricanes, and possible increased earthquake activity (particularly in the North West US.)

Is anyone forgetting that when Antractica melts entirely, this extra water will cause serious floods? The weather is changing, you can see how today - one day is winter, next day could be spring or even summer. While the general -gradually-winter-gradually-spring hasn't change, it is greatly disturbed,
On a graph the anomalous weather would looke like:
