Fricken hilarious how whenever I post an actual proven scientific rebuttal to Mentalfart's claims he skips right over them will not respond. I mean I know he cannot refute what I say but I want to laugh at him trying.

All I see now is green grass.
There used to be snowy winters around here. Lake Ontario used to freeze over, too. It's been decades since either was a regular occurance in Southern Ontario.
My mother had old photos from the farm that she grew up on in the Niagara area with snow up to the car roofs. I used to be considered to be a "snow belt" but no longer. The only time that I've seen that much snow around here was that infamous storm when Mel Lastman called in the Army, back in 1999. There is a photo of me holding my almost newborn daughter in front of a seven foot high drift on the front lawn. That was a freak occurance that has not repeated since.
p.s. I was raised in Quebec and I know what real snow looks like.
I spent a lot of growing up around Lake Ontario and Lake Huron, I never remember Lake Ontario freezing over, Not saying it didn't, just never saw it, and Lake Huron rarely, which is why that part of Ontario is part of the snow belt; the air has to pick up moisture from liquid water. I also have never seen Lake Superior freeze over either, but I have seen solid ice from Cape Breton to St. John's NL in the winters of '13 - '14 and '14 - '15. And snow? This is what I came home to one day in Feb '15, the second last major storm of that year.

Lake Ontario froze over all the way across a couple of years back but it was the first time it did so in decades. If you fly over Lake Superior in winter, it s completely frozen over, every year as is most of Huron. Navigation is completely shut down in winter.
The coldest that I have ever been in my life was on the deck of a destroyer in Nova Scotia in late January, with the steam rising from the water around you, going right through your clothing, your flesh, your bones and freezing you to the marrow.
I grew up to about three or four in Rainy River District, Fort Francis. Great place to get some roots. I recollect the strteet number and name someday.
