Subject: The Weather has been getting worse by the year in Canada... what about rest of the world?
I know most people aren't concerned with weather pattern changes from green house effect,
but having seen the weather changed this much year by year.... its progressively getting worse.
Right now, its hailing outside, having sky light windows its freaking me out -_-
May 5th! still hailing!.
Also it has been raining / hailing / snowing/ like 4 days per week since March.
Anywhere else in the world like this? abnormal bad weathers?

It's been more sporadic than usual here in NJ. Its warm most of the time, there are random snowstorms now penetrating further into spring and it rains a lot more than I feel is normal (around two full days a week)
The weather here in Michigan has been pretty weird this whole year. The winter was pretty bad, as far as barely any snow, and I had grass instead of snow about 90% of the time. And up till now, its been pretty cold and rainy and poopy. Its been kindda getting warmer these last couple days, but then the rain comes and it cools off.

If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

Actually Britain currently has both a hosepipe ban and a flood warning depending on where you live...

Its funny because my brother inlaw lives in Texas, and I live in Michigan. He will talk about how they had the heaviest snow fall for X amount of years,and the 2 inches closed down the whole county! Im like, wow, we had a blizzard and in a few hours got 6 inches of snow and an inch of ice, and Im waving at my son as he walks to the bus stop

I doubt we Brits will notice, its always raining and it always has rained.
But, I like gak weather. Its character building!
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

When the trains stopped during snow, the train company's said it was because the snow was the wrong type(a lame excuse).
This time the water company's said it was the wrong type of rain, well what type did they want?
Dry rain?, the type that falls upwards?.
Just another lame excuse.
Drought order = less product for same money

I actually get a bit freaked out if it hasn't rained for longer than a week...

Bet you the weather will change if you simply wait 5-10 minutes!
Seriously, this whole, "we're killing the planet with runaway global warming!" is nothing more than the eco-nuts & leftist loonies scare-mongering us all as they always do. Sure we're doing lots of bad things to our environment, but it's not like the planet hasn't experience multiple events of major climate shifts before. And what do ya know, people survived those events before we became so 'technologically advanced'.
Our carbon footprint is still tiny compared to say, another Tambora or similar event. Let's not even think about Yellowstone...
This year winter simply took a vacation in Canada, because the jetstream shifted and said hello to Russia instead, who didn't really like the average -30 temps, while eastern Europe got a taste of a 'real' Canadian winter! Now, we're getting a traditional Canadian spring, as in, each day is a new season! The past two days have felt like summer in the GTA, now it feels like we're back in April. Next week, stay tuned for those 'April showers' we missed out on and maybe some March-like temps!
Let's also not forget that it was only a few years ago in January 1999 that the city of Toronto declared a snow disaster and called in the army to shovel their driveways! (and in Burlington we laughed because we had close to twice the amount of snow that Toronto got!)
