Britain
Snow storms and icy blizzards sweep in across the UK
h/t Instapundit
Parts of the UK have seen a flurry of snow as Britain prepares for a "bitterly cold" weekend.

Snow started to fall as far south as Eastbourne, East Sussex, with downland at Beachy Head seeing a light dusting on Saturday morning. Parts of Kent, including Tunbridge Wells, and Essex have also seen snowfall.

Snowy showers were also reported in parts of Scotland, Wales, northern England and the Midlands as the Met Office confirmed that a band of rain, sleet and snow had worked its way south across many parts of the UK.

A Met Office spokesman said the snow has not settled in most areas and will turn back to rain as the day develops.
I thought snow was thing of the past due to AGW?

Iranian border guards fire into Pakistan territory
QUETTA - Iranian border guards fired four mortar shells into Pakistani territory in Chedgi area of Balochistan on Saturday. A senior official of Balochistan government confirmed that Iranian border guards violated the Pakistani frontiers. However, no loss of life was reported in the attack, he said.

Areas like Panjgur, Mand, Washuk and Chagai on several instances have constantly witnessed mortar shelling by Iranian security forces. Border guards fired eight mortar shells in the same area on October 17. Similarly, a few months ago, mortar shelling from the border killed two people inside the territory. Pakistan has raised the issue with the Iranian government but Tehran categorically stated that it would target ‘terrorists’ trying to enter in Iran’s territory or want to disturb peace between the two countries.
