Your ass is right, there are many theory's and studies that support the affect of colder winters due to global warming. The melting ice up north results in cooler water drifting south which will affect the "meridional overturning circulation" which is basically the exchange of cold and warm currents in the ocean which is believed to be a major driving force on climate.

Right now it's a balmy -16 up in the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range just north of cold Lake, AB. Lastnight and the night before it dipped to -34 without wind chill. I was working 15 mins NE of Maidstone, SK last week and it went as low as -41 without wind chill. I never knew -15 could feel warm!!!

Currently -15 in "Summerland".
It was -19 Friday morning and -21 Saturday morning.

On Friday, while we were both at work, the power went out at 8:30am and did not come on until 4:30. Although we use wood heat without electrical fans to move the warm air around our pipes froze. Got them thawed by midnight.

But...On Wednesday I took the precaution of adding my backup UPS to power the heater and circulation pump. A previous test told me that it would last at least 6 hours and maybe longer. So everyone survived.

Well worth the $300 I spent at Canadian Tire last summer.

Oh great! Sandy beaches and palm trees in the Arctic, while we get icebergs in the Georgia Strait

Just got back last night from sunny Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. We spent last week in balmy Caribbean tempratures of 68-80 F while enjoying the pool deck of our cruise ship, Celebrity Solstice. Stops in San Juan, St Kitts and St Maarten. Sorry no snorkeling pictures since I couldn't swim very well with my wounded shoulder. Had to stick to the lounging on the beaches while drinking rum concoctions and beer. Tried to pack a bunch of the warm air to bring home with us, but I think the airlines lost it.

-18 is a bit of a shock
