Think of the song Partridge in a Pear Tree... But sing 'a dead battery in my car'As mentioned in yesterday's post.. Baby... It's Cold Outside!
Though my area is not under an "extreme cold alert" We are substantially below our average norms
Environment Canada says long-lasting cold wave unusual for this time of year
Meteorologist Alexandre Parent said Wednesday the big chill is affecting the Prairies, Ontario and western Quebec and was to spread into the Maritimes.But Nova Scotia was already dealing with a winter weather system that snapped hydro poles and knocked out electricity for thousands.
Parent said northern Ontario was being hardest hit with the current cold snap, with temperatures expected to feel like -50 C with the wind chill in some places."The size of this cold wave in terms of geographical distribution is quite exceptional for this early in the winter season."What's also exceptional is the duration of this episode," he said, noting that the extreme cold weather could hang over Quebec for the next seven days.The weather specialist said he had to go back to 1993 to find a similar cold spell between Christmas and Jan 1.Temperatures were colder then, but the extreme cold didn't stay around for long."The last few years we had one or two days of cold weather, but usually those were compensated by a few days near zero which is not the case this year," Parent said."It's the span of days with ten to fifteen degrees below normal which are exceptional."

Arctic Cold Grips Canada and the Northern US
A homeless man froze to death at a bus stop in Ohio and people in Pennsylvania resorted to a bulldozer to clear snow Wednesday, as an Arctic snap gripped most of Canada and the northern United States.
In Canada, extreme cold warnings were issued for scores of communities across the country, including the heavily-populated provinces of Ontario and Quebec.In the United States, a homeless man froze to death at a bus stop in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, local media said, quoting police and a homeless charity.While Toronto reported temperatures of minus 15 C (5 F) and Ottawa minus 25 C, the coldest spot in Canada was minus 42.8 C in Armstrong, Ontario, according to Environment Canada.The temperatures were 10 to 20 degrees below what is normal for the season, said meteorologist Alexandre Parent with Environment Canada.
The deep cold is forecast to remain until early January, he said.
“In my memory I have never seen cold weather that settles for such a long time in such a broad expanse,” Parent said.
But, I thought the Arctic was all warm and melty- Ya know "polar bears"Does anyone care about the homeless man that froze to death at a bus stop? Or the poor soul lost to hypothermia ? Or do we all just care about manipulative psyops undertaken by bought and paid for scientists?Extreme Cold Weather Alert Continues... Toronto Star
The extreme cold weather alert announced Christmas Day continues into Wednesday, with temperatures anticipated to reach a potential low of -21 C in Toronto.
Temperatures are set to stay low over the next few days, with a wind chill of -27 C threatening on Thursday and a high of only -13 C on Friday.
