Being a resident in the Great White North, I expect winter to be cold. But watching the weather extremes in Winnipeg, I was if not alarmed, then, well, checking in on it, hoping it wouldn't come here. I live north and west of Winnipeg, considerably.
Today the temperature here is 0 celsius. That's right! Yesterday it was -20 C. And look at the temperature at the North Pole! Now I know that the magnetic North moves but, really? Is the whole planet on a wobble? Or is something else going on?
And please don't come at me with Global Warming - I think if you said that to people in Winnipeg, one or more of them might go after you with a snow shovel - if they weren't already too frostbitten to react!
Climate change, possibly is the explanation. We have experienced this before and we are foolish to think that climate, or anything else connected with the planet will stay the way we would like it simply for that reason. I'm not really enamored of the pendulum-swing of the temperature but I guess it falls under the rubric of - not something I can personally change. Any ideas?
