I thought it may be a good thread to start to post signs of the Ice Age grabbing hold, as we decipher them? And share our experiences, if and when it comes to that!
This happened today, which to me is something to keep an eye on, serious hail storms in the south are ramping up!

Welcome to the tropics: Bogota covered in 24 inches of snow

Colombia’s capital Bogota was surprised on Sunday by a major hail storm that covered the south of the city with a 24-inch layer of icy snow.
The excessive hail caused a number of emergencies across the city.
Entire streets became either covered in ice or former rivers, while rooftops were damaged and trees fell down.
“Fortunately there are no victims, just material damage,” Javier Pava of the Bogota Disaster Rick and Prevention unit was quoted as saying by newspaper El Espectador.
The unit was called to rescue four people from a parking garage where the collapsed roof was impeding the victims from leaving.
