Canada has been blanketed in snow from coast to coast after severe winter storms hit transport and left tens of thousands of homes without electricity.

Canada may see its first coast to coast white Christmas for 37 years

Strong winds and snowfall have hampered relief efforts, with meteorologists forecasting more bad weather to come.

Coastal areas of Nova Scotia have been issued with storm warnings and Vancouver, Quebec and Ontario were also braced for more wintry weather.

Analysts say Canada may have its first countrywide white Christmas since 1971.

Several areas in the US were also bracing for an extended cold snap, with storm warnings in place across a number of states after a weekend of hurricane-force winds and heavy snowfall.

Coastal blizzards

Meteorologists with Environment Canada have issued snowfall warnings across the country.

This has been eyeopening for me. I was a global-warming skeptic — a denier even — but, now I'm convinced that global warming is real. How else does one explain coast-to-coast-to-coast snow?

This is great! I have heard whining for years now about how Global Warming is happening right before their eyes. Now it’s self correcting.

And I don’t mean that sarcastically, I mean that literally. Maybe it is swaying back in the other direction.

Seattle has problems too....FR Thread:

Thousands stranded at Sea-Tac

*****************************EXCERPT***************************

The big problem, according to the airlines, has to do with the lack of de-icer. Alaska announced they may not have another shipment of deicer come in until today. The constant snowfall is another issue.

Global warming anybody?

I had to upgrade to a larger snow blower last year here in central OR. Guess I'll have to add a little more HP to the mix for next if this 'global warming' keeps up.
