As Richard Mosset, a meteorologist with the Canadian Meteorological Centre, said, "We may have forgotten what Canadian winters used to be like."
Younger Canadian Maritimers have probably never experienced a real winter. And maybe this particular fluctuation is showing them one.

Well well. The corner of Portage and Main out in Winnipeg ('the coldest intersection in Canada') will be sprouting palm trees before a lot of people get it into their heads that burning fossil fuels is bringing about cataclysmic changes.

By then it'll be too late. Probably is already.
