Oh, Canada.

[Tzimisce]

Freezing in the US balances it out.

Meanwhile, Tulsa has become the Yellowknife of the US.

Nothing at all to do with global warming. It was just the curse of the Winter Olympics. Whoever hosts the darned thing has the warmest season on record. Check the stats...

Winner.

All those drowned polar bears....NOT!

BS. Climategate comes to America.

Canadian thermometers were "taken out and shot"

The mystery of the vanishing weather stations

In Canada the number of stations dropped from 600 to 35 in 2009. The percentage of stations in the lower elevations (below 300 feet) tripled and those at higher elevations above 3000 feet were reduced in half. Canada’s semi-permanent depicted warmth comes from interpolating from more southerly locations to fill northerly vacant grid boxes, even as a pure average of the available stations shows a COOLING. Just 1 thermometer remains for everything north of latitude 65N – that station is Eureka. Eureka according to Wikipedia has been described as “The Garden Spot of the Arctic” .

Hey that sounds pretty good. One of the reasons I’ve never considered moving to Canada was their cold temps. The way things are going in the US, if their winter is not much of an issue, it may be worth considering to move up there.

“It’s like winter was cancelled in this country,” he says.

Do these people ever rest? Its called “El Nino’”. Happens all the time.

Enjoy the break. Your winter will return probably next year.

OH geesh, not this sh!t again ...

Fact check time — “and the shrinking Arctic ice, which has thinned and retreated markedly in recent years.” < sigh >

Solar maximum will probably be reached in about a couple of years—late 2011 or early 2012. If we don’t see more warmth around then, it might possibly get much colder than usual during the years to come.

Here in Wisconsin March has been above average. Which only slightly makes up for a typical very cold winter. We almost set a record for most consecutive days not reaching forty degrees.
