Spring Freeze Tightens Grip On Eastern Europe; Cairn Gorm’s 10m Snow Drift; Deep Cold Antarctica; Climate Damages? They Don’t Show Up In The Data; + Major Flare Watch
Economic growth is driven by policy, technology, demographics, and shocks. Climate, by comparison, is largely unchanging, and the data cannot isolate its effect cleanly.

3 days and the site was down????? What are we paying for then???? I had to find alternate articles elsewhere!
I was hacked. They deleted ALL my files off the server.
Site is back up and running now and should be accessible at electroverse.uk as well as electroverse.info.
Thank you (everyone) for sticking with me.
Best,

Your site troubles, Cap, prove the credo of a computer systems guy I worked for from 40 years ago: “There are those that back up and those that wish they had.”
My issue was the backups were not secure – they found and deleted them too.
(I have a year and a half of articles saved locally – I’ll get round to reuploading them at some point).
Best,
Cap
Hurrah! Back up 🙂
Whoa! That is one big smiley.
Fingers crossed all the hacking has stopped. Looking forward to reading the articles from Wed-Fri last week when they’re added to the site.
Ignore my other comment I got confused about dates.
Informative post, Cap. Thanks.
This is my picture from 23rd April in Ciste Mhearad, Cairngorms, Scotland. (1) Facebook Your post is very misleading; these drifts are quite common in our area depending on wind direction. This year the wind came in from a different direction to normal depositing the drifts in different places, hence the picture. There are many other areas with no snow at all just a few hundred meters away from here, it is not caused by sustained accumulation. The picture was part of a ski report for the local ski centre.
This analysis is sourced to Iain Cameron.
And the takeaway from my article is this: “The processes that build and retain snow in Scotland are still operating just fine.”
Do you have access to the content–as the email address you have commented with here isn’t registered.

I do know Iain, he normally would say if he were using my pictures, not a problem for you to use it, I just usually ask for an acknowledgment. I did not see what Ian had written about it, I looked in the snow patch thread he maintains on Facebook, do you have the link to the content? I can be contacted through Facebook or Facebook messenger; I did not want my email address to show up in the public forum. It is interesting that just a few hundred meters from here there was no significant snow accumulation all winter, the Fiacaill ridge, to the side of Coire Cas, I did not get to ski there at all this year. We depend on wind to create these accumulations.
Iain posted about this on both his Facebook and X accounts.
And credit in my article has always been given to you, the caption reads “[Graeme Pringle],” but I assume you don’t have access to the content?

Ah, that explains it, I don’t have access to the article. I did not know this site existed till a Facebook post showed up on my feed with the picture and I was curious to see what it was all about. I am a retired scientist; I spent my career producing and studying graphs and data. I have added my email address this time, if you could send me a copy of the article it would be appreciated. I actually have a copy of Iain’s book, The Vanishing ice, and a number of my friends take part in the snow patch count each year. Might not be the most scientific of studies but it is interesting to see the results each year. I have been recording the ski conditions in pictures on Cairngorm over the last 20 years and see how the seasons have been changing. Interesting that the best season I have ever experienced in nearly 50 years was that of 2020/21
