To all my northern friends .......

Crazy weather all right. I think I found your warm weather. Up here in central Canada a bit north of Winnipeg our continental climate would often mean around 40 below this time of year. The forecast for this week is around 32F for the day time high. Next week it will get as high as 41F day time and 34F for the night time low. Barely got the outdoor hockey rinks' ice in and they'll be trashed after that.

We had a high of minus 6 about 5 days ago. Today it's 36. Nothing abnormal about that here on the edge of the prairie.

Check out John Madson's Where the Sky Began and you can read some of the accounts of incredible temperature swings in just minutes on the prairie. Fascinating stuff, and fodder for current discussions of, as is trendy to call it now, "extreme weather."
