Brrrrrrrr! I'd like to ask Al Gore what he thinks of this! To bad he can't come up for a Timm's and enjoy the balmy -49 windchill. Anybody out there understand how there can be global warming when we get cold spells like this?????

Abnormal ocean currents caused by melting snow and ice influence weather patterns (Kuroshio currents, Jet stream, etc.) These changed weather patterns affect different areas in different ways. Colder than normal in some areas, too much snow here in the GTA, excess rain in Los Angeles. You get the picture. Al Gore? Weather doesn't affect him. He's a robot.

Global warming has not hit Canada yet hahahaha. Acutally I remember it being ALOT colder when I was a kid. It used to be this cold all winter...now its only this cold for a couple of weeks all year.

Hmmmm, good point. I do remember seeing pictures of my grandfather shovelling snow into banks that towered above him on either side of the sidewalk. Plus I remember Grandma saying that Dad would play outdoor hocky as a kid until it got down to -25. After that, they would cancel the games. Yikes.

That's for sure! I remember this kind of weather all winter too! It's so cold in Edmonton today I ended up leaving work 6 hours early. All of my appointments, but ONE, either called in and cancelled or didn't show up! I haven't been home this early in forever! ~giggles~ It's kind of nice, but at the same time, takes a bite out of the paycheck!

As for those snowsuits....I saw a lady put one on at the gym today! I giggled so hard inside, but it's so cold it's necessary!

MANNNNNNNNN My shoulders are broken from pushing the car out of a snow drift. the snow was more annoying than the cold because you can bundle up to fight the cold, but you cant fight the snow hahah. The hospital was soooooooooooo slow today not many visitors visiting family.

here in Albuquerque we got between .5-1 cm of snow and the city is nearly shut down. the public schools are completely closed and the uni and most businesses aren't opening till 10. Trying not to openly mock the over reaction, at least not to New Mexicians

I do NOT want to leave my house today. Although I must say, I'll be surprised if my car starts. I guess that's the key huh? Well let me get all dressed up and go out and see! ~giggles~ Hopefully I don't freeze!

It's 68F (20C) here today. It's t-shirt weather. Lindsay told me this morning that their windchill is around -40C in Kitimat.

I was born in Alberta but haven't lived here all my life, however, moving to a new place is stressful, no doubt! We are moving to Florida and I'm anxious to get going.

We were walking through the parking lot at the grocery store on Saturday and I was looking at the ground, the dirty snow mixed with oil and thinking, they don't have this in Florida haha!

I have lived in tropical climates, I like when the weather is either rain or no rain! It's funny, I don't even remember knowing what the temperature was then, no one bothered to check!

it's 15C here today I can go outside without a Jacket! But wow, it feels like it could blow your head off your shoulders it's so windy.

[David_n_Amber 3]

The fog cleared up really quick around 1030-11 this morning! i have a nice view from my "office"

[warlord 73]

Anything below 73 degrees I will freeze. Well except when it's been so cold. It actually warmed up to the upper 50's on the weekend and it felt like summer almost. Now we're back down to the 30's and trying to figure out how long it will take before I get frostbite on my poor hands...
