    Damn Cold

    I was just reading that many all time record cold temperatures were broken in Alberta today. As well a new all time power consumption record was set in Alberta today. B.C. has all sorts of weather warnings from snowfall warnings on Vancouver Island to bitter cold warnings across the province. Saskatchewan is very cold as well. Now if this was Antarctica and it was the warmest temperature ever it is big news but western Canada is breaking cold records but little is said because it doesn’t fit the narrative. Why do so many people get sucked in?!

    Cold? It’s weather. But if it’s hot it’s climate change.

          Watch Grande Cache AB. -48 air temp at 6 am. Never seen a temp like that recorded. Low temp record being blown away. It is a balmy -33 here.

            -48 at Grande Cache yikes! -35 with a wind chill of -42 here, definitely not T-shirt weather. Wind generation true to form 103 megawatts out of 3618. Does anybody know if one of the heat pumps incentivized by the Government of Canada under the $250 million Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Grant in Atlantic Canada will work when it is this cold?!

                Pink mountain, where you can dodge both moose and cows on the same road and the creeks flow at 40 below.
