This after what may have been Saskatchewan’s snowiest winter EVER.
“What may have been Saskatchewan’s snowiest winter ever is being followed now by the coldest spring in more than a century,” says this article on cbc.ca.
“On Monday morning, cold weather records for the day were broken in at least 12 communities, according to Environment Canada.
Those communities included Regina and Weyburn, where it dipped to –13.6 C, shattering the old record for April 22 of –7.2.
Not just April, but also March
“It’s been the coldest March and April in 113 years, according to Environment Canada’s senior climatologist David Phillips.
“You have to go back to the early 1900s to find a temperature that was as cold on this morning in both Regina and Saskatoon and I’m sure in many other parts of the province,” he said.
“A lack of warm air coming up from the U.S. this spring is part of the trouble, Phillips said.
“Another problem is the extensive snow cover, which is reflecting a lot more sunlight than usual.”
No kidding. You mean cold is caused by “a lack of warm air”?
But haven’t they been trying to tell us that cold is caused by global warming?.
