So it appears their weathermen can't predict the weather any better then the AGW crowd can predict the climate in the next century. Why am I not surprised.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
