In related melting, Regina, Saskatchewan saw a scattering of snowflakes yesterday. However, none survived contact with the thousands upon thousands of acres lying submerged under global warming.
Bumped for road carnage update! Midale, SK is not a happy place these days.
(It was warm and dry in Fargo, though, Thanks once again to the guest bloggers for helping out in past and coming weeks as Venus and I continue her swath of canine destruction throughout Canada and the US .)











Man I could make a fortune here in BC using Coreth's technique. I might even be able to get away with charging $5, instead of Coreth's $2, to touch a melting polar bear ice sculpture in this province of untold numbers of believers. Problem is I would have a hard time keeping a straight face, and would no doubt have an attack of conscience. Suzuki and Gore must be proud; Coreth is one of their like-minded own; true mates as the Aussie's would say. No doubt Brigette DePape could pull this one off given her flair for carnival like performance art.
The area of S. central BC in which I live was also forecast to become even more arid as a result of CAGW. This has been the wettest spring that I've ever seen and all the surrounding hills are green instead of the expected brown one expects for this time of year. It's also been a lot colder than usual and I still haven't planted my tomatoes. 5 years ago it was warm enough for me to plant them on 1-May. Everything appears to be about 1 month behind the usual schedule. Starting to see Vancouver type steady rain depressive symptoms in patients. People who live here often moved away from Vancouver as they couldn't tolerate the mood lowering effects of incessant rain.
I presume that the CAGW fanatics have to eat also and when they start seeing food prices hitting the stratosphere perhaps they'll forget about CAGW and start protesting robber barons in agribusiness.
The only unknown at present is how large a supply of canned food I should purchase now. All depends on whether the sun gets more active or not and decreases cosmic ray flux increasing world cloud cover now.
There was snow west of Edmonton at Evansburg the other day and on the praries we have had 3 consecutive years without summer but hey, David Philips from Environment Canada has predicted a hot dry summer for the umpteenth time in a row so one of these years he is bound to be correct.
With almost 2 months of non-stop rain and showers people are getting desperate to plant their crops and are "mudding" it in because time is just about UP for the crops to mature before the fall frosts here in Eastern Ontario.
What has germinated and managed to come up is the colour of a John Deere tractor wheel hub...yellow from the lack of sunshine and warmth.
Yesterday was our second day this year with the temperature above 20° (Southwest Sask). Environment Canada says normal high is 22°.
The dopes in the ever enabling, of anything destructive to capitalism, media are on the globull warming SCAM quite hard these cold days of June. Meetings in where ever Germany, to devise a new approach to structuring the fleecing, scary bedtime stories on constant rotation, Loyd and Sandie frightening the dullards of the nation, alond with as mold states the ever wrong David Phillips spouting his limp wristed prognosis of the comming summer. Well Dave, it was -2 here on Sat morn. very cold this morn, and I spent all day finding a route around sloughs to maybe place a few seeds to grow the dopes some food, after all those Safeway employees can't grow it all in the back there Gore.
Hopefully we are able to plant the tomatoes this week and the rest of the flowers. Many people lost their flowers a week ago when the temperatures dropped to -5 for a number of hours. Thousands of acres of canola had to be reseeded.
It is time to get rid of the dupes at Environment Canada. Not that that would change the temperatures but at least we might not be getting some snow job all the time.
All the best Kate and Venus. Come back with lots of prizes.
Aside from the nonsense about Global Warming, wetland habitat preservation is always a good thing.
The climate of the Canadian prairies is cyclic - always has been. Check
Dr Timothy Ball knew this a long time ago because he studied the centuries long Hudson Bay Company weather archives. Check
Climate alarmists Suzuki and others duped the media into believing AGW would cause the prairies to dry up by now. Check
The media was willingly duped because they have no morals and saw climate alarmism as "good" for business. Check
Most journalists fell all over themselves writing articles promoting climate Armageddon because, in general, they do not have a clue about anything scientific - math is hard. Check
Our beloved media is all about 'feelings' while facts are ignored. Hence, focus on school children touching a melting block of ice while ignoring how wrong Suzuki and co turned out to be. Check
The media is at the root of all that is crazy in this world. That be a bit of a stretch, but not by much. Check

"...The media is at the root of all that is crazy in this world."
Don't forget the other fifth collumn actively undermining our society, the indexed pension whackademics brainwashing our kinds into moral relativism at your taxpayer funded loonieversity.
Our mountain snowpack in Montana is something like 300% of normal, we had over 12 inches of rain in the last half of May (our yearly average moisture is less than 15), and there is this: http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/article_4aa59052-48d7-52f1-a4d0-6fda884e8e22.html
In edmonto they just started planting flowers. We usually start the second week of May.
And then there is this little bit of information that seems to have gone unreported by the global warming freaks.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1394945/The-green-killer-Scores-protected-golden-eagles-dying-colliding-wind-turbines.html
I wonder when the operators of these turbines are going to hauled before the courts. Waiting....waiting.....waiting.....
Our raspberries are about 3 weeks behind compared to last year. And last year they were 2 weeks behind the year prior. Etc.
Still waiting for global warming....
Built RAM tough eh? ~:)
We don't even have bugs yet in Haldimand. June 6th and I still don't have a mosquito bite, despite this being the wettest spring in memory. Too cold for the little b@st@rds.
I'm waiting for the inevitable swarms to arrive and carry us all off. Got my truck waxed and everything.
The mosquitos were hitting the windshield like rain last night in SE Saskatchewan.
On a somewhat related note,I got this msg,on my pay-stub..courtesy of Man.Gov't Employees:
'Green commuting is good for the planet,your health,and your wallet.Let's all take part in the national commuter challenge from June 5-11! please register your individual participation as part of the Gov't of Manitoba in your work location@ http://track.commuterchallenge.ca. Be sure to log your green commuting before June 14! Thank-you.'
Have at 'er kids!!
I have to drive over 1500/kms bi-wkly,as I see clients in a very rural area..I have been told,by payroll to get a bus-pass..from city of Wpg(I live 200kms out of city!)The stupidity of these people astounds me.
Kate, keep an eye on your radiator.
To me it looks like that Dodge Ram has a grim but determined smile. A kind of "sure its tough out here, but I'm truck enough to take it" look.
Then again perhaps I shouldn't have had that second glass of wine.
I should get into this climate forecasting stuff. Last summer I predicted this one would be a cool one because of the volcano in Iceland. Next year might be cooler yet, there's another volcano now blowing in Chili.
Well Joe predicting the correct climate doesn't pay much if any predicting a catastrophe gets you a Nobel Price. I remember the Scientist who didn't wanted to make the connection between CAGW and Hurricane Katrina.
He was promptly replaced with someone who would by the IPCC.
What Joe said.
I remember Mt. St. Helens cooling effect. Funny that the MSM has forgotten 1980 and prefers to stick to the climate change political mantra. No mention of the year without a summer either that was the direct result of the 1815 Tambora Volcanic eruption that was ranked at 7, Mt. St. Helens was a 5.
Robock, Alan, 1994: Review of Year Without a Summer? World Climate in 1816, Climatic Change, 26, 105-108
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer
For more information & some very interesting facts, including Canadian ones, on the 1816 year without a summer Google: Peter Bowden's Gardening Magazine - The Summer that Never Was.
When you Google Mount St. Helens effect on weather, the top search links are all politically correct Climate Change links that state people produce more co2 than volcanoes. In fact, 99% of the first 2 pages of links deny that volcanic eruptions effect weather. These links go so far as to say that the Mt. St. Helens cooling effect on climate is nothing more than a rumour that has recently begun to circulate! I kid you not. It blows me away to see the utter lack of scientific integrity in the climate field. They seem to have no problem blatantly wiping out-scrubbing historical facts and/or revising/explaining away any evidence that proves they are wrong.
Alan Robock, considered an expert, "revised" his ppt presentation in 2009 that contradicts his earlier data/writings from the late 80's to fit with the climate change agenda.

Then you can tell us who is going to pay for this.
btw, ya gotta luv ma nature when she gets riled.
