If it was for me, I would avoid travel during Winter, and parts of Spring and Fall prone to Winter-like weather.

Here in South Columbus OH the temps are finally rising just a little bit. I think the high was 12 degrees F today, and is currently 7 degrees (about 7pm Saturday). Winds aren't as high as it was yesterday, so the wind chill, while still below zero, isn't QUITE as bad. Went out to get some milk for a pie that will be made tonight, and the rough weather apparently wasn't an impediment, judging from all the cars I saw at the local shopping center.

Is Planet Earth sommersaulting ? Turning upside down and downside up? In the mid-sixties when I first came to Canada, Americans used to say at the beginning of every winter, "All this cold and snow are coming down to us from Canada". Now at the beginning of this winter it is our turn to say, "All this snow and cold are coming up at us from the U.S.A". October, November and three first weeks of December were the warmest months since the mid-eighties in eastern Canada. Yesterday, 23rd December, it was +6 Celsius in the early morning! And raining cats and dogs!

"Is Planet Earth sommersaulting ?"

Well, after we got wind chills of up to -32 F here in Columbus OH yesterday, by this coming Friday were supposed to get temps around 60 F and possible storms! People around these parts comment that "if you don't like Ohio weather, wait five minutes." :)

Are you still Farenheitinging in Ohio? Does Ohio weather get better or worse after you have waited five minutes? I mean, "Do you like the weather better or, don't like it at all, after you have waited five minutes?" Stephen Chin in Montreal, Canada.

It is winter in a climate emergency, no surprise really.

Well, perhaps I was exaggerating JUST a little :)...but after our frosty weekend, by this coming weekend it's supposed to be in the high 50s.
