Did you spot the contradiction in the headline? Hot Air can't Leave me Cold.And "global warming" can't be the cause of record cold and snow in the fall/autumn. As we bask in January like temperatures here, with 30 cms/ 12 inches of snow just outside, the question is ... where's the warming?- Cold being the absence of heat and it's unusually abnormally cold. And global warming, aka AGW, aka human caused carbon warming, cannot bring the cold. That's just spin for the gullible.Weather Network
Tuesday, November 12th 2019, 8:20 pm - Frigid air descends on southern Ontario ahead of the next shot of snow.The record-breaking early November snow has moved on, but the record-breaking cold is just taking hold over southern Ontario. A blast of Arctic air will see temperatures plunge into the minus teens for some with wind chill values hitting -20 before dawn on Wednesday. The brisk north-northwest winds responsible will also spur continuing lake-effect streamers for some -- and that's ahead of the next widespread snowy system set to move in on Wednesday night. We look at where travel will still be tricky, and how long the bitter cold lasts, below.
Recorded temperature at this moment is -15 C or 6 F ( 6: 15 am est)Seasonal norms for this time would be a low of 2C or 34 F. Instead we're sitting at minus 15C. That's a big temperature difference. Large deviation from seasonal norms..Where's that warming?UPDATE 5:00 pm est Nov. 13/19 Hamilton and Niagara break records for snow and cold in winter ( FALL, it's FALL) welcome
According to Phillips, Hamilton had never seen a snowier Remembrance Day. The last snowfall record for Nov. 11 was set in 1983 with just 8.6 cm of snow.
Phillips said that Hamilton International Airport recorded 17 cm of snow, while the St. Catharines area and Grimsby got even more, with places receiving anywhere from 20 to 25 cm of snowfall.
"The closer you were to the United States, the more snow you got," he said. "[You would be] closer to the centre of the storm."

And with the snow came the cold. As the storm moved away, Phillips said, it ushered in the colder, Arctic air behind it. It was brutally cold on Tuesday as people experienced temperatures that Phillips says are normally expected in the worst parts of winter. Environment Canada recorded a low of -14.1 C on Tuesday, which smashed the previous record of -7 C. Cold
