| Here, snow is extremely unlikely at this time of year (Not that we get much at any time of year). I'm quite happy to be in Tasmania (southernmost state of Australia) at the moment, though I do not like the Winter when it comes. | |

| I'm despairing it being December and it hasn't gotten below freezing yet. | |

| Here in northern Finland we already have a decent amount of snow. Still, quite little when thinking about the winters several years ago. | |

| I don't believe in seasons anymore. After experiencing a Brazilian summer colder than a German winter (in 2011), and after seeing totally weird weather patterns that didn't exist 10 years (60+, if I take my mother's and grandmother's reports into account) ago, I'll just use the natives classification of the seasons: "summer" when the sun is out, "winter" when there are clouds or rain falling.
We may have messed up the planet really badly this time. And I guess the Australian region, Southern Africa and South America are feeling the effects a bit more strongly than other countries. | |

| Eh. Plenty of civilisations have been destroyed by weather changes in the past. Hittites, Cretans, possibly the Romans. We will come through. | |

| No single extreme, unusual weather event can be solely attributed to climate change, at least so far. Climate change may make them more common and stronger, but sadly we can't point to an event and say "climate change caused that" - that would make science communication much simpler on the issue.
So yes, a frozen summer may be linked to weather patterns altered by climate change, but other factors almost certainly contributed. | |

| Yes, this excessive British politeness/indirectness is one of the things that makes me avoid the island whenever I can. | |

| I felt a bit like a Londoner in the 40's. Power went out in the city, and seconds later a medium-sized fighter squadron flew by - we don't have American bases, so this is very unusual (never happened to me before).
But it was only a coincidence. They were being transferred for a show they have nearby tomorrow. | |

Do you know what I thought when I read this? Pendor's Jerusalem. Poinsbruk is soo screwed. Or Venice, if it had a powerful merchant class. | |

| Or a cross-bearing order arrives.
I'd like to make a poll: "How many knighthood orders do you think Poinsbruk can handle within its walls?". I vote five. | |

| Number goes to 4, a war breaks up and the king drops the RPA-hammer.
I interpreted your statement so that the Dragons represent the over-eager crusaders. | |

| No, there's an actual cross-bearing order in the game. You'll hear from them soon. | |
