Half the world > doesn't see that much swing in a year. Driving from Temagami to Timmins a few years ago: +3C to -30C in about four hours. In a blizzard, no less. Record temps in the Queen Charlotte Islands according to Neil Whatzizname's guidebook: +29C in summer and -19C in winter. Crikey, that's positively tropical for Canada :-) An interview with an Environment Canada meteorologist this week: he pointed out that the temps this year in central Canada are normal, but the swings are extreme - changes that usually take several days to a week are happening overnight. Last week it was +18C on Thursday here and -12C two days later. Fed up with monotonous weather - move here!
