    And here's the official UCD gallery of the previous year's snow. Not quite as snowy.

    Well the layout of that part of campus has changed so definately not going to see it again. As for the snow, it looks it may be with us for some time:

    In that link it claims that the sun is the cause of it so people cannot go on about human-induced climate change to explain the winters. Also, is it a strongly held belief that solar activity is what caused the ice ages?

    I don't know enough about it RandolphEsq. The majority of scientists believe in anthropogenic global warming (AGW) i.e. man-made. The exact cause of the last ice age isn't fully understood as far as I know, but most believe it to be due to a culmination of factors. The sun is included as a possible factor along with carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere, the earth's orbit, and even volcanoes.

    I think people often ignore the difference between weather and climate. Climate is long term. If you look at the temperature increase over the last hundred years, you see a clear increase of about 1 degree Celcius. However if you look closer you see a higher-frequency weather variation around this change, with a period of a decade or so - in other words: it's quite possible to have cooler winters for the next 10 years but still suffer from global warming.
