    We had -35C for several consecutive days where I live. It has been the coldest winter in at least a decade.

    And yes, I know this doesn’t say anything about global warming. Just wishing it spread out a bit.

      Climate change will go both ways, cold bouts will be colder and warm bouts will be warmer. Cold will be less present on average because of rising global temps but extreme weather patterns will be more common. I assume that’s what’s happening on your side of the world.

        Yep. More energy in the atmosphere doesn’t necessarily mean higher temperatures. As a general trend sure. But it will mean more energetic weather patterns. More “outliers” and wild swings stressing everything.

      Let’s hope that the Gulf Stream doesn’t shutdown or we’ll be having these cold winters quite often.
