I'm getting 30m of snow? Why is it so sunny?
What's the forecast for Casper Wyoming?
Oh, well! They're only a couple of hundred kilometers north of us.

Should be much cozier there, according to your meteorological expertise.

By the way, 30m of snow is Lower Slobbovian. Missing your old Babushka again, eh?

What matters is that the weather is getting more violent causing coastal destruction worldwide.
I don't want to spend $100thou for a bunch of rocks to stop my front section washing away.
A windy day will be the way rising water happens. All in all the agenda is to take all the money from the people over bogus events. Two World Wars put all nations into perpetual debt. Look up the actual cost and tell me how much each war netted the ones who caused it. (not as easy as it sounds)

My insurance invoice due to owning coastal property reflects what the insurance companies say, and this is harsh reality.
The insurance companies say "give me your money". They have probably upped the premiums for land fronting on the Great Lakes, too because of the melting Greenland ice sheet.

One billion at risk: How climate change is transforming our oceans and mountains.
Rising, warming, acidifying oceans and melting ice could be affecting more than a billion people by as soon as 2050, warns a dire, sweeping new climate report.
The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) found how our oceans had effectively stopped the planet from over-heating by sucking up more than 90 per cent of the excess heat in the climate system.
Yet, by the end of the century, oceans could be having to absorb two to four times what they had over the last four decades – or as much as seven times if warming couldn't be limited to the Paris Agreement's ambitious target of 2C above pre-industrial levels.
All the while, marine heatwaves, like that which helped fuel New Zealand's hottest-ever summer over 2016 and 2017, had doubled in frequency since the early 1980s.

. . . or you are being scammed. Oh wait, you said insurance company, my bad. lol
I wonder if private donations to put a new roof on the Church was stopped by the insurance companies as they would have that covered as part of a normal practice.
Bet they don't spend a dime yet have collected millions.

500 Scientists Write U.N.: ‘There Is No Climate Emergency’

More than 500 scientists and professionals in climate and related fields have sent a “European Climate Declaration” to the Secretary-General of the United Nations asking for a long-overdue, high-level, open debate on climate change.

Just as 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg addressed the U.N. Climate Action Summit in New York accusing world leaders of robbing her of her future, scientists were begging the United Nations to keep hysteria from obscuring facts.
“Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific,” the declaration states. “Scientists should openly address the uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real benefits as well as the imagined costs of adaptation to global warming, and the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of mitigation.”
The scientists underscored the importance of not rushing into enormously expensive climate action before fully ascertaining the facts.
“There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent,” they declared. “However, CO2-mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly. For instance, wind turbines kill birds and bats, and palm-oil plantations destroy the biodiversity of the rainforests.”
The signatories of the declaration also insist that public policy must respect scientific and economic realities and not just reflect the most fashionable frenzy of the day.
“There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm,” they note. “We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050.”
“If better approaches emerge, and they certainly will, we have ample time to reflect and adapt. The aim of international policy should be to provide reliable and affordable energy at all times, and throughout the world,” they state.
In particular, the scientists criticize the general-circulation models of climate on which international policy is currently founded as “unfit for their purpose.”
“Therefore, it is cruel as well as imprudent to advocate the squandering of trillions on the basis of results from such immature models,” they propose. “Current climate policies pointlessly, grievously undermine the economic system, putting lives at risk in countries denied access to affordable, continuous electrical power.”
“We urge you to follow a climate policy based on sound science, realistic economics and genuine concern for those harmed by costly but unnecessary attempts at mitigation,” they declare.


In Calgary they got away scott free because the water came over the land rather than from the sky and that was not in the policy, it was 'extra'. I kid you not.

What is real in your opinion. Links welcome. I tend to see the west of Canada staying warm and the east getting long cold winters with lots of snow.
I have links and a long explanation if you are interested.
