Which ice age ? if we're talking the most recent, that's pretty small potatoes compared to the ones we getter further back in the geological record.  (Basically, the Sun is getting hotter over time, by about 15% since the Cambrian; it's effectively impossible now to have a hard Snowball Earth, as it appears we might have had a few times before the Cambrian.)

Ooh, there's a question.

Is Mab older than the Dinosaurs?

If I were you I wouldn't be asking it anywhere where SHE might hear.
She might be that old but I doubt she'd appreciate being lumped in with a bunch of
overgrown lizards and scaled birds. ::)

The last 'true' ice age (ended 20 thousand years ago) was long enough ago that I don't think we had 'recorded' history.  Perhaps some oral remnants remain, but I'm fairly certain humanity was pre-writing at that point, pictographs notwithstanding. Now, the so-called "Little Ice Age" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age) may indicate a sudden spike in Winter's power.  The temperature change was most pronounced in Europe, which is consistent with the (probable) location of most of the Sidhe dealings with mortals at that time.

In Grave Peril, Harry crosses into the Nevernever from his apartment living room. It goes to "his apartment, only a bit cleaner and brighter". In Changes, he crosses from his lab (only one room away), and ends up in a garden with a primrose path (I see what you did there ;) ). So, do different parts of Harry's home lead to different parts of the NN, or did the NN 'next to' his apartment change between the two books?

(In the search results, this was only discussed kind of tangentially)

I started a thread on this not too long ago. Lessee if I can find it....

Ahh, here it is. I dunno that we came up with any firm conclusions, but there's lots of discussion here:

I think the CrossOver from his lab is the one that Lea has had guarded to keep UglyNasties from coming in from.  And I don't think he knew of it until he got his mother's gem from Lea.

Yeah, but Leah says she's protected allllll of his apartment, not just the lab. Go back and read that recent thread -- lots of thoughts there.

But she doesn't say its all protected the same way, or that it has always been a garden ;)

She indicates that she has done that for his entire life....but yes to what sjsharks said. She doesn't say that it has always been a garden.

How did Micheal become a Knight of the Cross and how/when did he and Harry first meet? Also, I reread Small Favor recently and it left me wondering...Who is/was Mab in debt to?

Missing you, Md 

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)
