But yeah, temperatures are variable, climate is changing and Canadians love to talk about the weather!

If there had been any precipitation over the last week or so, it would have been snow (which is also unusual!). Truth be told, I hope that El Nino goes crazy this year, if only to counteract the unusual cold that decided to only hit North America (and some of Western Europe) last year and shake the "so much for global warming!" crowd by the shoulders a little.

Especially since this past October was both colder and wetter (and thus objectively more miserable) than average. And to be fair, I suspect if you do witness the end of ice, chances are good that none of the tropics will be habitable and we will have much worse things to worry about. Toronto still sees its fair share of -20 degree days in the dead of winter. The overarching point is valid, but I’ve been enjoying our little weather/climate discrepancy.
