I don't know if this is a reprieve or a call to stock the brandy
shelf/shelves, but it's headed Professor Inverbon's way (I thought
Canada was always white at Christmas)....

Will Canada see its first white Christmas since '71?

Take heart, there may be hope....

Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips told CTV Newsnet
"Already in many places in eastern Canada, we're ahead of the record
from last year," he said.
"But, you know, we have a long, long way to go. I'm thinking that, hey,
there's not enough left in nature to give us another one of those years."


Glad I'm in So CA - ok, so it's snowing and raining here, too (*_at_*!!X),
but we've got Palm trees with surf! :-p

Cheers and salud.
