blizzard

[sumdumguy]

We have seen some hum-dingers. In about 1965, 33 Highway was closed for days with snow banks over 7 feet. Power was out for days - the power line was down for miles. in 2011, I think April 3 or so eastern Saskatchewan experienced heavy wet snow storm that destroyed thousands of calves, heifers etc. I am always surprised if we get away without at least one good blast before spring.

Why would you expect to? Surely not a remarkable temperature for the prairies in March? Even if it were it wouldn't indicate that climate change models showing the world is warming are wrong.

...besides the global warming experts are all recovering from sore faces as a result of much face-palming yesterday after the US EPA chief (Pruitt) claimed that C02 wasn't a major contributor to global warming. Not that he chose to deny climate change on this occasion - nor that human activity was impacting that change but rather that C02 wasn't the change agent.

Snow banks here are hard and hard to move. Could have been alot worse. Not much new snow with and ahead of the big wind and the snow that was left from the warm spell before the blizzard couldn't be moved by the wind.

-37 was a record low and the remarkable thing is the media never mentioned it once. If it was a record high temperature they would have went on and on!
