I’m at my house in NE B. C. right now. The weather wasn’t that bad here, but it was rather chilly. My thermometer showed -12 early this morning. We haven’t had our permanent snow yet but during the previous two years, it came around month’s end.
* “One of them let his guard down. A major person
working in the area of climate change and global
warming sent me an astonishing email that said:
Cold out here at the trap shack. Spent the day near the wood stove. Got an old hunting dog who is basking in the glorious heat as well.
Baby it’s cold outside.
And out here on the Coast, we had a frost delay at the golf course.
Five and a half month frost delay here in Calgary.
We had a 1.5 hr delay at the Osoyoos Golf Course as well…….nice and sunny and a great day. We will close Nov 11th……all good things must come to an end
Got my last round in on Tuesday in Toronto; unless we have a heat wave, this will be it, as it’s cold and rainy for the next week. Beautiful day, too – started with a windbreaker on, had to take it off by the fourth hole.
Let me guess … your newly elected PM has officially declared this the HOTTEST October EVER in the history of Canada?
Barbie’s team at environmental Canada is altering the data as we speak
Hey don’t dis them; their carbon tax is working!
Yes, they are no longer using the actual data from 1902 to 2002 but modelling it instead BECAUSE (drum roll, please, wait for it) there wasn’t enough data for it to be useful at all (despite the fact that the coldest and warmest temperatures recorded in Canada were in that period). Yes, it is just as dumb as it sounds and as corrupt. So the re-writing of history begins with temperature readings and the proletariat will never know the difference because we will kill all the elders with euthanasia and burn all the books because we have the Internet. Welcome to 1984 and Agenda 21.
I … USED … to dismiss such things as; “crazy people talking about conspiracy theories”. Now … I believe you hit the nail on the head.
Grandma seemed to be in blackface as she hit the hearth. We must ban this racist video! (not)
It’s -13°C right now and only going to be a high of -1° today in Calgary.
It snowed about an inch of fluff yesterday. Had to shovel pathway, double driveway and the lazy city’s sidewalk. Needed va-va-vinter clothes, as it was in the minus double digits then too. Brr. Brr.
BaBY IT’S C-O-LD OUTSIDE, here too.
On the bright side, tomorrow is going to be + 8°C. People say they have Chinook headaches. There was a big Chinook arch across the sky a few days ago. It was a warning to put on your winter stuff.
Got shut down for the second day in a row from work on the SWCRR (Ring Road) because of the cold temps. Can’t place dirt on frozen ground and compact.
Should mean delays on flipping traffic onto some of the new lanes and bridges so as to accommodate more demolition and building of existing roads.
Could really use some of that climate emergency globull warming here until Christmas so we can get more vehicles on the roads!!
That ring road at 6th Street is pretty close to that last row of houses on one side and last group of 3 storey condos on the other side. I would imagine that the value of those homes have depreciated substantially. The noise from the construction is constant. When do you expect the construction will be completed? I heard it could be 2 more years before completion. True?
That sounds like what we went through here in Edmonton a few years ago. We now have a ring road, Henday Drive, which is a barrel of laughs to drive (sarcasm = off) during rush hour. Top speed is 100 kph.
That’s one reason I’ve been flying to and from my house in B. C. for the past 2 years. After driving to Edmonton for more than 7 hours, and getting there during the tail end of rush hour, I thought I’d better re-consider my travel plans lest I push my luck too far.
I don’t blame you. Sometimes unforseen consequences can get the best of you. There are some lousy drivers out there.
Not ready for the big chill, waiting for Indian summer, assuming it’s still OK to call it that.
You didn’t specify which Indians, so it’s OK. Or are you suggesting the white man stole the Indians’ summer.
Or is it a referenece to Indian giving; they certainly take their summer back in winter 🙂
Was in Saskatoon area working last week (outdoor tower work). Looks like I got out just in time!
I blame Doug Ford.
Yes. I am pretty sure everything that bothers Morontonians is Doug Ford’s fault. Digging your way out of a hole dug by a bunch of morons, is hard work. What a sad joke this country has become.
Global warming means never having to say sorry for all the lies and BS and scams
Net-Zero McKenna could care less. She’s going to keep shouting the same thing over and over: “The Sky is Falling! The Sky is Falling! We Need to Increase the Carbon Tax Immediately! We Need to Increase the Carbon Tax Immediately!”
It’s OK, nobody cares what she has to say and nobody listens to her anyways. She’s just there to parrot the talking points of her boss, Gerald Butts.
Butts is also writing the talking points for another of his faithful and obedient subordinates, Justin Trudeau, summed-up as: “We need MOAR tax! MOAR tax! MOAR tax! Western oil BAD! Orange Man BAD! Greta GOOD! Kyoto! Paris! SAAAAAAAVE THE EARTH!!!!!!”
We have the same fall colors this morning here in south-central Iowa. I can’t find anything on the web
to tell me how much, but, from my dining room, it looks to be about 2 cm. Forecast is for snow Wednesday
and Thursday, too.
I thought you guys got your snow by the inch in Iowa. Or, are you just translating, on the off chance there is some Morontonians reading on Kate’s blog?
I think in inches, miles, pounds, etc., but I am able to convert to metric measures in my head. Canada does use the metric system, doesn’t it?
Absolutely right. Any time I get out of town, I see stands of corn; in a normal year, they would have been harvested about a month ago. The weather has been too cold to harvest or the corn hasn’t dried sufficiently to be harvested because of rain. It’s probably the same with the soybeans (Iowa is first in the nation in corn production and second in soybean production).
cold and snowy here in south central saskatchewan. and of course my furnace quit yesterday morning and stil waiting for a repairman to come out to the boonies to fix it. lucky I have a fireplace and electricity still.
Stop posting fake news like that. You know it isn’t true. We are actually experiencing global warming. Now be quiet and pay your carbon tax like a good little Canadian.
At the centre of the universe here in Toronto it was 20C and sunny yesterday, hitting 17C today. Might have to put on some sun screen to play golf today. I think it is the tremendous heat coming off the protesting teachers and their union buddies.
Tronna is at the same latitude as the Oregon/California border…a tad north to be exact. About 650 km south of Vancouver. Check the latitudes of each location, if you doubt me. We in Calgary are 3000 feet higher in elevation compared to Tronna (we’d look down on Vancouver from a great height) and we are at the bottom of James Bay in relative terms, latitude wise in comparison to Tronna. These two cities seem to have an oversized influence on what places in between can accept on mitigating winter weather. They know what’s best for us.
-23Celius in Saskatoon this morning (wind chill! Wow can you imagine how cold it would be without Global Warming Ha! Sure hope the Polar Bears have enough ice to hunt!!!
Minus 19 Chocula (-1 Frankenberry) in Sparwood BC this fine day. Would be colder if it weren’t for all the coal being mined.
Anybody hearing that Simon and Garfunkel lyric “Hello Darkness My Old Friend….” looking at that pic? It was -15C this morning in Calgary (-25C is the record low and only a week ago -12C was the record low then). Hey Greta come back to Edmonton for Halloween and enjoy the warming that you’re telling everyone WRECKED YOUR CHILDHOOD. You won’t even have to dress up to get the free candy in that bastion of socialist free-stuff worshippers.
My house here in B. C. was rather chilly this morning, so I stole some of that Swedish brat’s future by adjusting the thermostat accordingly.
Well, there’s yer problem. Ya gotta get yerself some o’ that there global warmin’ they keep talkin’ ’bout. Shoot, get yerself some o’ that, ‘n’ you won’t be able t’ keep ice in the freezer, lat alone on yer sidewalks…
Seems that the global warming hit hard on Saskatchewan and Alberta, -14 C right here, as of this morning.
What can be said. It is Canada and it is snow. All the climate change ever envisioned/imagined will never warm this latitude.
Picturing several inches of wind driven global warming err climate change err climate weirding err climate emergency. I bought yesteryear a new bigger climate emergency shovel. Got also some firewood to keep global warming out of the house. I’m ready, give me your worsererst.
Record lows for October here in the normally balmy Okanagan. I blame the current state of the sun in its cyclical way….so piss off, Greta…..go home and enjoy Sweden’s melt down.
According to some sources I’ve heard, we’re now in one of the deepest solar minima for the last 200 years. The lack of sunspots has played havoc with long-distance radio propagation. Each time I’ve checked the amateur bands below 30 MHz, there’s been next to no activity.
here in southern georgian bay nice morning, afternoon 14, raining now 8, long range shows rain then temp dropping wet snow mix friday sat. Iam on poppy campaign this saturday and where iam stationed this time iam able to get out of elements if i have to.
got new snows installed today, yard work done, deck furniture covered up, leaf blower on recharge for next round.
bring it on.
It was chilly again overnight here in NE B. C. I got up just before sunrise and the temperature at my house was -12.
It warmed up a fair bit by noon, though I wore a jacket and toque when I played fetch with my canine house guest late in the afternoon. (The last dog in the family was adopted after my father died and part of the arrangement was that he could stay at the house once in a while. This trip is one of those occasions. The little guy enjoyed looking for his squeaky toy.)

There is a lot of crop remaining in the fields. Iowa Jim I can see Sask farmers are not alone when it comes to bad harvest weather:
