Greetings Joe!

 RW>>>> The two national weather stations on TV have decided this to be
 RW>>>> true and report it as such.

 JD>>> I see.  Those are official reports by the National Weather Service?

 RW>> Of course. But better yet, straight from the horses mouth comes the
 RW>> facts;

 JD> If it was the weather stations that decided it, as you  wrote above,
 JD> then it was not the National Weather Service

And that's a good thing, not having to believe the NWS...the real weather
is reported by independant weather sources who don't have to answer to the
government's dictations.

 RW>> Headline: Winnipeg has coldest winter in 64 years

 JD> That is Winnipeg, and not here.  BTW when I lived in Winnipeg, we had
 JD> similar windchill factors.  That was 6 years starting in 68 and
 JD> ending in 74

And they've been having this cold spell before and after you left there.

 JD>>> No BS.  I live here.

 RW>> So does Andrew Penner...his writing doesn't sound like the BS you're
 RW>> trying to convince me with.

 RW>> Penner mixes his satire about golf with the weather in Canada and it
 RW>> must be true, because he lives there.

 RW>> /Quote

 RW>> "But back to this winter: In case you missed it or were drunk for
 RW>> the past six months (there are worse ways to deal with it), it was
 RW>> somewhat cold up here. In Saskatchewan, for example, they recorded
 RW>> wind-chills of -62 degrees Celsius (-80F). In Winnipeg, most people
 RW>> either froze solid or had their pipes freeze solid. In Ontario,
 RW>> Niagara Falls became a freaky - looking ice sculpture that resembled
 RW>> a white version of Bob Marley's hair.

 RW>> Andrew Penner is a golf professional, writer, and photographer based
 RW>> in Calgary, Alberta.
 RW>>>> This winter was colder than usual.

 JD> Notice that bis satire is mostly based in Western Canada.

That is still Canada, is it not?

 JD>   Yes, they had, just like here, a lot more snow then usual, as did a
 JD> lot of the US States. We had cold weather here in Eastern Ontario,
 JD> but, no records were set that I remember.

Still, it is Canada.

 JD>>> In some places.

 RW>> Especially in Canada...

 JD> In some places.

I'd say in most places. If you had Floridian winters, I'd believe you were
right, but you don't and you're not.


    Have a day!
