So much for a "mild" winter

[robkelk]

Meanwhile, in the Netherlands, after a week or so of frost (6 degrees below 0 centigrade at night, -1 or so during the day) it's getting to a pleasantly balmy 6 to 10 degrees above. Looks like it's going to be a soft winter for what, the third year in a row by now?

Seriously, North America, stop stealing our cold weather.

Hey, Yellowknife (62°26'32?N 114°23'51?W) is unseasonably warm at -14C to -17C (five to eight degrees C warmer than it "should" be)...

And last week it finally got cold enough here in Ottawa to start freezing the Rideau Canal.
