Unbelievable Winter! - Snow Melting in Finland

We did get a big dump of snow in NI there at the start of January, however it was the first time we have had a drop that big in a long time. I have found everything in NI is a lot milder, including the summer which is a bit depressing. Times are changing, but the big question remains... Is it cyclical or is man kind having an effect on the climate. I'm afraid i'm still out on that question, but whoever figures that out will be worth a fortune!
