Above is a photo I took, 10 years ago, of a stream in the middle of King City, which led into the East Humber River. The photo appeared in this blog space a week before Christmas, in 2014. It doesn't look like a winter photo, but was perhaps a precursor to today's global warming. A weather report story, this week in 2024, states that the winter of 2024/2025 will have 10 days less of snow than the average of the last ten years. Good news, or not-so-good news? Both perhaps, depending on your point of view. There are claims that drought in Ontario will pale in comparison to places like California, and it seems the phenomenon will happen much faster than most of us will expect.
Please comment if you wish.

Christmas just days away here in the B.C. central interior and there is very little snow . We have yet to reach -10 C. and the forecast shows that won't happen in 2024. This is a trend that we've come to experience over the past few years. It wasn't that long ago -35 with 3 feet of snow and the lakes frozen solid till the end of April was the norm. We can debate how much of these changes are man made but the climate change debate from what I've witnessed here over the last 50 years is over.
