Remember winter?  Yeah, me neither.  But, historians claim that there used to be a time, every year, in which the temperature was occasionally cold enough to create solid precipitation, also known as "snow" or "ice."

We have footage of this relic from the past in the form of this surveillance video.  Watch how humans were often unable to handle such conditions.

Slash is a busy man.  In May, he will release his second solo studio album and play at Carolina Rebellion.  Between now and then, he fills his time playing shows, talking up the album, and loving the zoo.  He really loves the zoo.  Recently, he starred in a commercial for the L.A. Zoo with Betty White.

He's also apparently professing his love for long necked zoo animals.  In an interview, he admits that he's locked lips with a giraffe.  The giraffe reminded him of Gene Simmons.

Of course, there is his album.  It's called Apocalyptic Love and will release on May 22.  Unlike his first album, which featured a wide variety of guest musicians and singers, this album lean on his own band, featuring Alter Bridge front-man, Myles Kennedy.
