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.)

Warden John Marcone:
Ooh, there's a question.

Is Mab older than the Dinosaurs?

Snowleopard:
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. ::)

cass:
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.

SpoonR:
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)
