Guys, the meteo is all f*ck top!!! Here in MontrÃ©al we didn't had snow until mid-january, the snow went away finally about two weeks ago.

Now look what I'm seeing thru my windows this morning, this is crazy... Temperature is freezing.

Yeah, because all weird weather is the result of global warming

Here's to our brave Canadian Neighbors who appear to be reversing the Global Warming trends

I'm actually enjoying this a lot, finally some variety and change. March started off freezing at -20*C and then went to over 20*C. (Seeing ice on a mildly shaded small lake is certainly interesting when you're wearing a tshirt and wish you were wearing shorts.) Now April's back to -5*C and snowing, occasionally to the point of a whiteout. Fun

It was t-shirt weather here too about a week ago for a day or two. Now it's aobut 5c or so during the day. Off to Lapland tomorrow so it will be a bit colder there. About -5c and sunny hopefully

Just as a PS, global warming doesn't rule out local cooling, for ex. in Antarctica.

Dude, we're not exactly being serious here, no need to get all diamond mine.

It rarely snows where I live, but I'm with qviri: I like the variety.

What variety? It's STILL snowing here, and I am south of Canada.

Think of it this way, shut down ALL of your fans, open the window and enjoy some great temperatures with no FAN NOISE

Good idea, but we still need heat.

You could use it to acquire sub-zero core temperatures with air cooling, that's unheard of

Mari0-Br0s · Post by **Mari0-Br0s** » Wed Apr 11, 2007 1:25 pm

Oh no!!! Guess what!!! We had our first sunny day today, and tomorrow there's another snow storm coming, this is just what I've seen on the news!!!

Man, this weather is driving me crazy!!!

If it is global warming, then there is no "local cooling" (the phrase should be "regional cooling"). The only way that regional cooling can exist is if the observed warming trend that has been cited since the global freezing scare of the 1970s is not truly global, which is what we have been seeing.

whatever, you can nitpick about semantics all you like. The atmosphere is not a homogenous system so it would be foolish to expect all of it to behave in exactly the same way at exactly the same time. Just as when a gas warms up some of the particles will be warmer than the average and some will be cooler, so some places are cooler and some warmer than the average, but the average has increased. If you prefer not to call that global warming then so be it, but it doesn't make it any the less so.

Runn3r · Post by **Runn3r** » Wed Apr 11, 2007 7:17 pm

it is no longer semantics because 'global warming' now is a LOADED phrase with the implication that it is ALL MAN-MADE via industrialisation

It is now linked with the attempt to put curbs and penalties on industrialisation and has the political agenda of slowing down the growth of developing nations who are in the throes of industrialisation/modernisation

the changes in weather could be caused by anything including SOLAR ACTIVITY, the solar system travelling through the cosmos, and natural earth cyclical changes.

This is why even on Mars,the 'weather' there have been shown to have changed significantly over the decades but as far as i can see... there is no sign of industrialisation on that planet.

We had 10 cm scheduled for overnight, they just upgraded this to 10 mm of rain - so maybe it won't snow lots in Montreal either.

10 cm of snow on April 12th sure would have been interesting, though...

I suspect global warming may have contributed to the Canadiens missing the playoffs too...

Mandatory post before I can provide a link.

No snow where I am.

I've been waiting for global warming to hurry up but I've lost faith in it. I'm moving farther south.

Vancouver rocks - you can't go wrong with that choice.

I'm personally going to Oregon though.

Supposed to go up to seasonal temperatures by Friday.

Can't go wrong with learning Cantonese or Mandarin though. Have fun with the tones

It's 23.2Â°C here in Germany, unusually warm for April. it whould be raining the whole day. We had the last snow two weeks ago in the southern regions of Germany (Munich). So the change in temperatre is quite drastic.

Mars is not a valid comparison system. Unlike earth Mars has a very weak magnetic field. This is very important to protect the planet from solar winds and solar radiation. Once the magnetic field is gone the atmosphere is no longer protected and is literally blown into space. This is why there is no oxygen on mars. The only atmosphere they have is very thin and made up of mostly carbon dioxide.

Back to the OP's main topic.

One thing I cant stand is how people take local weather extremes and state, "Why are we getting ice and snow in April? Where is global warming?", or, "Localized record high temps, global warming is out of control."
These people don't understand how the whole earth's atmosphere or climate work.

Weather is not constant, nor does it follow normalities or trends. Weather is random, and does not represent the entire earth's climate.

Here in Italy we go sunbathing on the beach... I am red like a pomato.
There snow (winter), here sun (summer)... on average it's like a spring, no need to worry
