Growing up and living most of my life in , I've really noticed how the weather patterns have changed. Not just that the winter is shorter, milder and less snow.

We used to get real "winter" weather starting in December. January we had a "January thaw", which is when the prevailing weather patterns broke down for a week or two and we had a lot of snow melt. Then the cold weather returned until March.

Now, and the last 2 years in particular, we might not even get winter weather until February, if at all.

We also used to get the storms tracking west to East, so we'd get the weather that Ontario and Quebec had, about a day or two later. This was due to the jet stream with its "normal" behaviour of primarily a west to east flow.

Now, climate change has disrupted the pattern, and so the JS now has a jagged up and down pattern. This pattern causes the "polar vortexes" that reach deep down to the southern US. The same pattern results in us now getting most storms tracking up the eastern seaboard of the US.

I worry for where we are headed. And for anyone who delies CC, I say - look out the damned window!

In related news, clearing one's driveway four times in three days has little to recommend it.

Despite as much as 90cm of snow in Cape Breton with some unable to leave their homes and snowplows that can't keep up, the province of Nova Scotia is unwilling to declare a State of Emergency.

They are also requesting Military assistance.

so. this happened. during a nor’easter.

Screenshot of a Reddit post from the halifax subreddit, with the text “The legend. The potato salad man in action. 3.5 lbs down.” and a photo of a man sitting on a folding chair in a cemetery in a downpour, soaked, eating potato salad out of a bowl with a tub of potato salad on the ground. Beside him are a few onlookers with umbrellas. Behind him are two police cars with their flashing lights on.

Hm, first snow of the season is delivering a bit more snow than was initially forecast. Smoky is not amused.
