Wait so our already warm and (relatively) snow less winters over the last few years are now gonna be even warmer and less snowy? Good thing global warming's not real and this is totally just a phase mother earth is going through or something.

I was talking to someone about what we do out here in the boonies all winter. One of the things I talked about was snowshoeing. While I was talking, I realized that it's been at least a decade since I've been able to snowshoe anywhere other than on the lake after it freezes. It's not that there is never any snow in the hills, but it never lasts long enough to matter.
I'm in north bay and went snowshoeing a bunch last year. And ice fishing.
Shore of Lake Diefenbaker. Ice is plentiful. Snow, not so much. We get a decent amount, then the wind and sun strips it off the hills before the next snowfall.
our boonies must be different. i was 3 feet of snow deep in the bush just north of Muskoka all last winter. that storm at Christmas was brutal.
Wild. We just had 4 months of November last year. And none of those months were actually November
Heh, yeah. Shore of Lake Diefenbaker in SK.
I remember when there were outdoor skating rinks in parks commonly in southern Ontario as a kid. Now you rarely see them because they would melt every 2 days. Any yet my relatives still don't believe in climate change π
Just because warmer temperatures may be occurring, it doesn't necessarily lead to an easier winter," Smith said.
Thanks for being such a Debby Downer, Smith!
