  1. They will be saved by their tofu, wind turbines, solar panels and pious belief in the powers of Gaia and the honesty of Al Gore, David Suzuki and as of recently, that noted climate and energy expert, Neil Young.

  3. Don’t open the door to the outside!
    Just like the bogey-man the polar vortex will get ya!…at least that is the way the MSM makes it sound.
    Funny that 2013 was reported as 4th warmest on record? The corn crop across the midwest and Ontario was a total train wreck of high moisture and immaturity due to the LACK OF HEAT.

  4. It’s cold as death here but luckily no snow. I’ve been burning old Olivia Chow signs to stay warm.

  5. CBC cannot even talk about the weather without injecting their leftist double speak misinformation.
    Fred, yes, no doubt.
    Hopefully the people affected have not put their winter woolies away. That reminds me, when we relocated to Saskatchewan in 1974 one of the local old timers said that we need to keep our woolies handy until July 31 and take them out again on August 1.

  6. Where our driveway meets the street here in Barrie, Ontario, I’ve got 7 feet of global warming piled up blocking our view of oncoming vehicles … several near misses just trying to pull out of our driveway onto our very quiet street. And the temperatures have been colder than Olivia Chow’s icy glare of sanctimonious socialist superiority.

  7. I’m back here on the east coast and every weather forecast is covered in red storm warnings. Folks here are stocking up on chips and beverages and talking about the polar vortex and whether they will get a “snow day” off from work.
    Not a word about global warming.

  9. While the big story is the cold, there is another one: the drought in the West. I live up in the Santa Cruz mountains in California and we haven’t had a good Pacific storm since Dec 23, 2012. We’ve had a few sliders that have come in with little bit of rain, but no event that lasts a day or longer. Last year we got just over 5 inches of rain. The year before we got 72, with 50 being about normal.
    Few, however, recall the weather in California running up to the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley. After getting little snow in December and January people were in a panic. Fortunately, the snow started falling in earnest in February, which saved the event.
    Still, it’s weird. I’ve got apple trees in my orchard that are blossoming in the heat (one day it hit 80F!). I think we’re past the frosts, but who knows? Normally the grass in my field is growing like, well, a weed. It’s mostly brown. If it doesn’t perk up I’ll have some pretty unhappy goats. I’ve also had to put off planting the spring veggies in the garden due to the lack of water in my rainwater cistern.
    And, as inconvenient as it is for me, real ranchers and farmers are truly suffering, particularly in the central valley. There is so much uncertainty with the water situation that it’s hard to know what the right course of action is. Say a prayer for those guys!

  11. Wow, global warming vortex hitting here in Wasaga Beach tonight. It’s good to know those windmills in WynneTario are keeping me warm…..not.

  14. Come now, this is weather, not climate, don’t you know.
    And if the weather is cold for 10 years in a row, that’s still weather, not climate.
    Now on the other hand if it warms for 10 years in a row, then that’s climate.
    I absolutely loathe the left wing, global fraud perpetrating, lying, hypocritical, communist losers. Hate them all.

  19. Looks like Yukon is the place to be!
    Just as long as it stays below freezing. Freezing and thawing slush is no fun.

  20. No, GreenNeck – the place to be is in Palm Springs, Ca. That is where I am – and – loving it!!

  21. Notice how the turd burglars in the press always need to come up with something catchy for unusual weather. “Polar vortex” is now the latest in media buzz bs and it means cold air from the arctic comes down and makes it cold kind of like how it does every damn winter.

  22. Victoria, ha ing had our two days of -1, continues to hide the missing heat…daffodils are blooming on schedule. Barely feels like Canada at all. My postie is doing his rounds in shorts.
    I blame Andrew Wea er

  23. What is really fraudulent is this lame attempt by the leg-o-pee media to insinuate that the severe cold is somehow the result of changes in the arctic. Yeah, here’s the change, the arctic is getting cold enough to spit out serious amounts of cold for more temperate zones. Much as it used to do on a more regular basis in the colder climatic regimes of the past (good examples would include the 1970s and most of the 19th century but well on into the early 20th century).
    The human race has nothing to do with this variability. It is driven by natural cycles and solar activity is probably the largest single natural forcer but I suspect there are others that we have not yet fully identified. At least others haven’t, I feel like I have and that the weather establishment is hoping I will die soon before getting my research noticed anywhere, because it would kill off what’s left of their credibility (around the conservative blogosphere, already zero, but out in the world of Joe and Jane Six-Ideas, not yet a lost cause, to which I say, DUH!!).
    Looking at the charts there will be some pretty wild wind-chill values this coming weekend in the Great Lakes, Midwest and northeast U.S., air about as cold as what is there now but moving at 40-50 mph instead of 5-10. That could be almost lethal for anyone stranded in snow belt areas. We may see extensive freezing on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay this winter, which used to be quite a regular event back in the day. As for Lake Ontario, it probably won’t have quite enough time in the severe cold to freeze but there could be more ice than usual at the eastern end.

  24. Thanks Peter!
    I’m heading to the woodpile for some more hard maple blocks of wood to feed the woodstove after that update!

  25. @wuberman:
    Too bad they are missing out on the cold snap because they really could use the help
    in killing off those darn pine beetles ravaging their forests.

  26. @Peter O’D
    Well if the Arctic is really colder, then this summer we should not be hearing about the polar bears and seals complaining about the amount of solid ice floes.
    As a believer in global warming but now starting to have doubts, I certainly hope this will
    be the case, lots of ice for our furry friends up north.

  27. Ahoy, my friend, from a mostly overcast -15C in Stratford ON, up from -25C @ 07:00 (forecast low for overnight was -21C), when George the Rottweiler marched me around the little water and then plunked himself down in my chair (with his blankie and mine).
    As it happens, my brother-in-law, who’s a smart guy (he did marry my-sister-in-law, after all), but quite demur, and who comes from a solidly Liberal family, said to me privately a few years back: “Dave, don’t you think this global warming business is hocus-pocus; it’s all natural variability, isn’t it?”
    Quite apart from which, I can’t ever remember a wind-chill warning ever having been issued by EC before the wind chill actually, you know, started. So, thanks for that, Peter, and don’t despair: we’re starting to bundle up now!

  28. Down heya in Louisi-Yana we actually got 1/4 inch of snow overnite, lasted till 3:00 that afternoon.
