News. Snow has been falling steadily over Rome for the first time since 2005—and at its heaviest in 24 years. The snow has naturally thrilled Romans and tourists alike; Reuters reports that the Pope himself was spotted peering out of a Vatican window, foreign media reported.
Like D.C., Rome isn’t used to dealing with more than a few flurries, so roads are backed up with traffic. Buses and the metro are running with limited delays and the Colosseum is temporarily shut. Ciampino airport was closed this morning, but has since reopened.
My point. Incredible! It snows in Rome (Italy). It snows in the Florida panhandle. It looks like unusual cold is covering a big part of the planet.
I know it sounds far fetched. But on 5/14/08 I posted a blog suggesting that the sharp drop in sunspots could create a protracted period of unusual cold weather, according to some scientists.
I think we should keep our minds open to all the possibilities when we talk about climate change. Even if these possibilities seem implausible.
