Looking outside my window today revealed not just more beautiful ice frosted trees, but canals that have frozen over. This is not so common in the era of global warming, and it is getting everyone pretty excited about the possibility of “elfstedentocht” (eleven cities tour). Which reminds me, never, ever, go ice skating with a Dutchman, its the equivalent of suggesting they kick around an Aussie Football with you for a while, deep embarrassment will ensue.
We are going for a walk, despite the temperature, it really is a beautiful, beautiful day!
I was told that hundreds of years ago the canals froze in the winter. If this is true how come it is not happening now, or even 200 years ago whan manmade warming was not present
