Global Warming aka WEIRD Weather in Sackville

So for the last one week its been averaging between 5 and 8 degrees here and at night goes down to about 0 or -1. It is shockingly warm, usually Sackville in December is COLD, there is snow and blizzards galore. It snowed a little bit in November which is what the photograph shows, but all the snow's gone. This is the second winter where its been unnaturally warm. My first winter here January 2004 it was -45 degrees with wind chill and now??!! So no hopes of a White Christmas I guess.
Right across Europe's highest mountain chain, says the World Meteorological Organisation, only a third as much snow as usual has fallen so far this winter. Temperatures are up to three degrees centigrade higher than normal, and in some resorts the weather is so warm that even artificial snowmaking machines will not work. See more here
Global warming anybody? I recommend Al Gore's movie An Incovenient Truth
