Actually, that's a depiction of the areas where snow falls on average
in the last few centuries. Western Europe is protected by the warm winds from the southern Atlantic. Makes me laugh when I remember all those American "Nordics" who just love snow, even though none of their ancestors actually saw it in Europe ![]() |

But was it warm for that in Western Europe? Should be cold a bit there for all that.
It also means lots of Europeans are actually Frogish. ![]()

It's quite normal for you Mongolids. Actually you lived in even colder places than us Europids.

I think that's right. I think Ross once said that Western Europe is populated with Mongoloids while Russia remains an oasis of pure Aryan folk ![]()

I'm sure Eastern Europe sees far more of it due to it's continental climate. As you say Western Europe is warmed, largely by the Gulf Stream. But it would be unusual still not to see snow in a year. As for American "Nordics", sometimes I wonder if their ancestors saw Europe at all ![]()
