Strange Weather

[Flatlander]

Dad just called it the January thaw. Happened most years and often the creek by the yard would run.

Funny how all of their all time lows occurred since 1980. And none back in the Good old days before global warming. Probably coincidence.

My dad used to say you usually get one thaw every month.

Never watched close enough to see if he was right. He was always optimistic.

My Mom always said we get a January thaw also. Hoping this year has one!

[SASKFARMER]

Swirling big time.

Ah we had warm January’s we had a very large dump in Saskatoon early Jan, we had-49 -54 for weeks.

Nothing has changed except stupid people don’t read history they make it up now.

Environment canada did prove me wrong.

Case, " so I took the liberty" to check out if indeed it ever was -30c in PEI according to the CBC story. Seems the party being interviewed by the CBC had his facts straight. PEI does go below -30C


Here's what I found doing a "simple fact check" on google. conversations -27F = -32.77C -30F= -34.4C

Just thought you should know that CBC must have done a "fact check".

That's twice in two days I've pointed out to you the CBC does a decent job!!

Happy New Year!

How do you get temp records in F in canuckistan? You have to go back to the early 70's to find anybody who used F up here. Wonder if they converted the records to F recently to support the global warming theory.
