Whenever the Mayan and Sumerian calendars align on a harmonic prime, *The BFD* takes a look at how **Dr Viner’s** prediction in 2000 is working out.

> Snow is starting to disappear from our lives. Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain’s culture, as warmer winters – which scientists are attributing to global climate change – produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries … Global warming, the heating of the atmosphere by increased amounts of industrial gases, is now accepted as a reality by the international community … According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.

Oh dear! As we approach the mid-winter peak it seems that there is approximately 3,200 gigatonnes of the white stuff still here, about **14% more** than the average amount for 1982-2012 and **well outside the plus/minus one standard deviation range**.

And … the [Thames froze over this year](https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/56035590?ref=goodoil.news) – hasn’t done that since 1963.
