Cold Arctic air hitches a ride on a 'roller-coaster' jet stream to bring us a more blustering winter than 2014
With cold, blustering snowstorms battering the West Coast and the Prairies, you might be tempted to say "What global warming?"
But climate change may, in fact, be to blame for this oh-so-Canadian winter.
"Doesn't global warming mean that we're going to get warmer, shorter winters? Well, in some areas, yes, but it actually could mean we could see colder episodes," Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips told CBC News.

I still maintain, every day since Trump got elected is like reading news on Christmas morning.
EVERYTHING is globull warming, er, “climate change”.....
"This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model, for the first time in human history.
"This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 - you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation."
--Christiane Fugueres, Executive Secretary of UNFCCC
It looks like a normal winter weather like it used to be when I was a kid to me. . .
To listen to those who ascribe to the religion of globull warming, you would think that there has never been a flood or drought or tornado or hurricane or any other extreme weather event before 1990.
‘Polar vortex’ sounds a lot scarier than ‘a large area of low pressure and cold air surrounding both of the Earths poles that ALWAYS exists near the poles, but weakens in summer and strengthens in winter.’
“Polar vortex”....haven’t heard that one in quite a while.
Here’s the global warming/climate change model.
When the weather is _________ than average, it is proof of the climate change. When the _________ ice sheet is __________, it is consistent with models showing climate change.
The question is... How many more years of ‘global cooling’ like 2014 and obviously this year, will we need in a row to make the often referred to 99% of scientist realize that the the 1%, and more likely and more reasonably assumed 45% of scientist, who actually and vocally disagree with them, be acknowledged as being more correct than they are?
The only certainty Climate Change brings to the table is redistribution of wealth.
Doubtful Goodyear can speak to a fraction of climate complexities.
For your nostalgic viewing pleasure.
The answer is; when both hell and earth freeze over completely!
But only because their mouths will be frozen shut. Or open. But frozen nonetheless.
Ditto here. Seems like we are returning to what I knew as a kid in the late 50s (upstate NY)and again in the early 70s (Missouri). Damn those winters were cold in Columbia — I remember waking up to 15 below.
BTW - As usual, the CBC allows commenting on their website only for those stories they choose to allow commenting on. This story allows no commenting. They can’t handle the negative feedback they always get when they advocate for Global Warming.
"Well, father always did promise, didn't he?"
I thought the author was ignoring the end of El Nino, which created the recent warming, and the current La Nina, which is causing the current cooling. But I clicked on the article, and she isn’t. She has a full explanation of the natural processes that is causing the cooling. She should have stopped there, but then she wraps it up into fictional climate change.
