Weather's Going Crazy!

[Richard in Smithville]

Tuesday night it started snow( what a suprise in Canada). By the time I left for work Wednesday morning there was a five inch dusting. When I got to work 25 miles away, they an inch at best. Follow through yesterday with bitter cold. Thursday morning was blowing around -30Canadian. Today is just below freezing and tomorrow will be 7-8 degrees Canadian and raining! No one ever said Canadian weather wasn't diversified.

Then you have different standards up there in the frozen north. Here, anything over about 2" and school is closed. 5" is an ice age.

Yesterday morning it was 37 deg here...no snow. This morning it was 45 deg...start of the heat wave.

Keep your snow out west or to the north. I don't want any more. Today we're looking at 40 degrees for a high. Tomorrow, 50. By this time next week we might see the grass............maybe.

We call that a Chinook! Earlier this year we went from -20 F to +50 in about 48 hours. We had rain and water running in the streets.

The so-called "Pineapple Express" is a blast of warm, moist air that comes straight up from Hawaii, bringing wind, high temperatures, and rain. Of course, after everything gets wet and slushy, the temperatures go back to normal and it all freezes solid.

When it happens more than once, we say that "We are having break-up once a week."

Stay warm, er cool, er dry! Regards, Steve

Only in Canada would they use the term '5 inch dusting'!

My brother lives in Gloucester, England (how you making out, Ray?) and they closed the schools for 2 inches!

Crazy weather?, you bet! Reminds me when I was working for the Danes in Greenland years ago. We would have what was called "frone" (sp) winds. It might be 10 below when the wind started to blow..within an hour the temp would be up to 40 or so above zero. Cause was the pressure of the wind blowing down the narrow fjord walls, the friction raising the temp way up! Then when the wind stopped..down would go the temps again. Really a wild place.

We had 8" of flurries the one year. Or the blizzard of 96 - forecast for 2-4" of snow and we had 32". You just never know how wrong the weather guessers will be.

Anything that'll blow off the truck once I hit the road is only a dusting. I've said it before, if it's not deep enough to keep my beer chilled while I'm BBQing, it's not really snow.
