Global Warming induced Summer snowstorm expected to hit western Alberta

It may still be summer, but communities in western Alberta are being told to hunker down for a blast of wintry weather.

A snowstorm is expected to whip into the province later this week. On Monday, Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for areas including Jasper, Grande Prairie, Nordegg and Rocky Mountain House.

A cold north wind is to blame for the incoming blizzard.

"A cool air mass will invade much of Alberta this week, bringing with it weather that is decidedly more like winter than summer," the advisory reads.

"A cold front is forecast to drop southward out of the Northwest Territories on Tuesday and Wednesday, and it will bring precipitation with it."

In the higher terrain, particularly between Grande Prairie and Jasper, the snow is expected to hit on Wednesday.

Somewhere between five and 10 centimetres of heavy, wet snow is expected to fall across the region but some areas under the advisory may receive more.

Areas to the south and east, including Edmonton, will likely also see a few snowflakes fall on Wednesday, but the weather agency expects that it will melt quickly.

Edmonton's temperature is expected to drop of a low of zero Wednesday amid rain showers or flurries, while periods of snow or rain are forecast for Thursday.

The storm will move south through the afternoon and evening on Wednesday and may reach as far south as Banff by Thursday morning.

What does this prove, other than the fact that you don't know global warming is actually global?

That snow attracts more snow and when the mountains are full then the high hills get it and so on. When the mountains in Calif get summer snows they you should write home about it, till then you need to find something 'unusual'.

Firstly, It is not really global warming per se but global weather change. Secondly, perhaps it is not the excess of humans nor the junk we toss about. On the other hand, maybe just maybe it is...who knows.

Many years ago I read about how scientists discovered the magnetic polls shifted and reversed every 300,000 to 600,000 years. It has been around 780,000 thousand years I believe since the last one, we are overdue for one. Recently, it has been found that there are some signs that turned up before a shift occurs. Some of those have been going on for sometime now. (Don't worry too much about it though as it may be a couple of thousand more years before it makes it)

The problem is going to be that much of our technology depends on the magnetic field being where it is at the moment. Of course the weather will be unstable for a fair time before as well. The following site explains it far better than I can. It makes for interesting reading., and there is a short film for those who prefer to listen more than read. If this is the reason for all the extreme weather, we are in for a very interesting time period.

We are in a f-cking ice age. It's not going to end.

Name a Continent that doesn't have glaciers. It's was only 170 years ago that glaciers reached their maximum extent since the start of our current interglacial period. It was a lot warmer in the past. Global warming comes and goes as do periods of of global cooling.

You should be celebrating the fact we are warming not panicking. More people have died from cooling than warming.

Droughts, crop failures, mass migrations that lead to brutal wars 100s of Millions of people died during cold cycles. It's the warm cycles that bring prosperity.

In a couple hundred years the Continental Glaciation are coming back and Billions will die this time around.

If CO2 is warming us now it's a blessing if not we are f-cked.

When does First Nations Summer kick in? Before or after the Jewish holidays?

Single digits for nearly 2 weeks ain't cuttin' it.

I'm not sure about First Nations Summer, but I do know "Indian Summer" starts after the first frost after the Solstace.
