rfmcdonaldMy country of Canada is synonymous with snow, yet scenes like the one depicted below were passingly rare.
The below picture shows how much snow Toronto got for Christmas; that encrustment of snow by the foot of a light post at Dupont and Bartlett was actually it.
Meanwhile, the picture below was taken in February.
My previous [FORUM] question on the seasons was posted in a winter that was doubly exceptional, in North America for its warmth and in Europe for its coldness. Winter ended almost two weeks ago, and now we face the prospect of a spring coming after a snowless winter (still a decent amount of precipitation, mind) and unknown prospects this summer (will it be warmer still?).
How freaked out do you feel about this? Why? Do you think it’s the harbinger of a shift? Do you think it’s isolated? What has happened in your area of the world, weather-wise, this previous season?
