I don't know where you are Foolestroupe but here in the UK certainly since the winter of 2007/8 each successive winter has been longer and colder than the previous one, and the summers shorter and colder, this winter 2010/11 has started off with the heaviest snowstorms and lowest temperatures for 30 years or more, so at first glance it would appear that certainly the UK is getting colder.

By the way, do you understand ' irony ' ?
