Meanwhile, British Columbia is so warm - a good 10-15℃ above normal - that we have roses blooming in December and January.

That’s never happened before 2020.

Gotta love climate change.

Edit: I found PEAS growing in my garden yesterday, from where they got spilled in the hay ground cover during harvest in late September. They have grown into decently-large plants over the last three months. I have seen some flower buds on them already. Flowering peas. In January. Fucking unreal.

Yes, that's called "Winter".

"Anyone who must venture outdoors for a period of time is strongly urged to cover exposed skin. "

Oh shit that's a good idea. I've been snowblowing in my flip flops this whole time.

Imagine never seeing winter before. Because of climate change a storm like this hasn’t happened in a while in these parts and they have no experience with it anymore. We don’t appreciate it in the north…

Weather is best looked back on, instead of sensationalizing something’s “full potential.” But, I’ll be corrected if it goes 30°f below last year on this month
